Top eateries, restaurateurs, showmen and chefs across London will produce a series of pop-up restaurants at the Phoenix Bar & Grill in Putney during the month of March to raise funds towards Action Against Hunger's life-saving programmes in Haiti.
Participating chefs include:
Behind the project is restaurateur Rebecca Mascarenhas, who will host the dinners at her Putney venue, the Phoenix, which is closed for refurbishment. Diners will pay 60 pounds for three courses and may bring wines at 10 pounds corkage or buy bottles from suppliers at near cost price.
“One of the reasons we wanted to work with Action Against Hunger is that they are very committed not just to the immediate crisis in Haiti but the aftermath in supporting the country," said Rebecca Mascarenhas. "I didn’t realise, for instance, that all the food aid that goes there now and is free, is actually destroying the farming economy there because the farmers can’t sell their crops. Action Against Hunger offers support for long term sustainability as opposed to just aid.”
