Introducing the first of its kind – the ultimate Chef’s Table experience. Seven intimate events at The Waterside Inn, each one limited to six places.

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Roux Scholarship – the UK’s most prestigious culinary competition for young chefs, each event will see a previous winner demonstrate a signature five-course menu in a ‘Roux Scholar Masterclass’ as guests witness the magic unfold. Then to a very special Chef’s Table hosted by Alain Roux in his late father’s library – where each dish, meticulously paired with exquisite wines will be served.

This is your unique chance to get up close and personal with some of the UK’s most exciting and talented chefs – expect much fun and wonderment. Definitely one for your treasured memory box!

A percentage of profits from these events will be donated to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust of which Alain Roux is Patron.
