The National Restaurateurs’ Dinner (NRD) is one of the UK hospitality sector’s premier annual fund-raising events.
The dinner is a joint initiative by three of the industry’s most prominent and respected organisations: The Academy of Food and Wine Service; the Academy of Culinary Arts; and the Restaurant Association. Click here for details of the organisations. Each year we combine efforts to organise the NRD and to make it a memorable annual celebration.
This year, its 26th, the dinner will be held on 29th April at The Savoy. Last year’s event, also held at The Savoy was a total sell-out and we raised over £40,000 on the night from the auction and raffle ticket sales. Let’s see if we can do even better this year.
These vital funds help maintain the profile and esteem of the industry, both front and back of house, through training and educational programmes. Besides its fund-raising, the evening also provides an opportunity for the industry to come together and enjoy the company of old, and new friends.

In its Silver Jubilee year the NRD announced a new patrons’ scheme, whereby several high profile members of the industry were invited to become patrons of the National Restaurateurs’ Dinner.
Our first patrons include Roy Ackerman, Sir Rocco Forte, Lee Cash, Julia Hands, Mike Sunley, Robyn Jones, Ramon Pajares and Richard Shepherd, and the committee would like to invite you to join this esteemed group. Click here for details of the Patrons scheme.
We wouldn’t have been able to undertake the work we do to support the industry if it were not for the support of people like yourself attending the dinner, becoming patrons, sponsoring the event and offering auction prizes. There are many opportunities to become involved in this auspicious occasion, both as an individual or as a business. So if you’d like to support three of the industry’s most respected organisations then check out the various links on the menu panel. We’d love to hear from you.
