We are delighted to announce that our Great Chefs Dinner 2021 raised an incredible £130,000, making it our most successful year yet!  
  
The sumptuous dining experience, now in its sixth year, took place on Monday 1st November 2021 in the dazzling Roux at The Landau Restaurant in The Langham Hotel, London.

This year's event was hosted by Michel Roux Jr, who was joined by six stellar chefs: Chris King, Nieves Barragán Mohacho, Stephen Terry, Steven Doherty, Eric Lanlard and Monica Galetti. Michel hosted the evening in tribute to his late father Albert Roux, who also supported DEBRA as a charity close to his heart. 

I am always so proud to host this fantastic fundraising event for DEBRA.  It is such a wonderful charity and one that I and The Langham, London are thrilled to continue to support. We have some exceptional chefs cooking this year for the sixth DEBRA Great Chefs Dinner and I know it will be a fantastic night raising money to fight EB.

– Michel Roux Jr  

  
The money raised at our Great Chefs Dinner will help DEBRA to fund vital research into finding a cure for EB and in supporting our community on a daily basis with pain and wound management. 

In the six years Michel Roux Jr has hosted this event, Great Chefs Dinners have raised more than £380,000 for DEBRA and we are so grateful to Michel, all the team of incredible chefs and staff at Roux at The Landau, and The Langham who made it all possible.
