Join us at The Restaurant Association’s Gala Awards Dinner & Awards in support of WorldYYY & the World Young Chef Young Waiter Education Foundation.

The seventh annual UKH Restaurant Association Dinner & Awards will be a night of unparalleled elegance, taking place on the 2nd of December 2024. This prestigious event is organised by World Young Chef Young Waiter and Young Mixologist, in association with UKHospitality.

This year, we invite you to the inaugural RA Gala Dinner & Awards at the iconic Savoy Hotel in London. This exquisite celebration of excellence in food and wine service will be hosted by Robert Walton MBE, President of the Restaurant Association, founder of Nth Degree Club, and Chairman of World Young Chef Young Waiter and Young Mixologist.

Global brands and leading figures in the hospitality industry are eagerly anticipating this dazzling awards celebration at The Savoy. This star-studded event will feature a sumptuous dinner with the finest wines, an exclusive auction, and our inaugural evening awards ceremony honouring three distinguished individuals for their outstanding contributions to the hospitality industry.

In 2023, the Restaurant Association Award for Special Services to Hospitality, designed and sponsored by Fabergé, was presented to the esteemed Cyrus Todiwala, recognising his unwavering commitment to the hospitality industry.

This year’s event aims to raise essential funds for the WorldYYY programme, dedicated to empowering young people from all walks of life to overcome barriers and achieve success in all areas of hospitality. Additionally, it supports the World Young Chef Young Waiter educational foundation.

Since 1979, the Young Chef Young Waiter competition has continued to promote hospitality as a career of choice, a profession, and a vocation. Today, with its revitalized format, Young Chef Young Waiter and Young Mixologist continue to honour the next generation of culinary and service stars globally. WorldYYY’s mission is to discover and nurture the best young talents in the industry, welcoming young chefs, waiters, and mixologists under the age of 28 from diverse backgrounds. YYY ensures these young talents are equipped with cutting-edge skills, current knowledge, and an invaluable network to help them succeed in the world of hospitality.

The WYCYW Educational Foundation is dedicated to nurturing aspiring chefs, waiters, and mixologists, particularly those facing financial barriers. Their mission is to advance the education, training, and development of disadvantaged young individuals, providing vocational training in hospitality and support for those completing their studies.

The Restaurant Association Gala Dinner & Awards will return in December 2024 for another glittering celebration of hospitality excellence.
