Things are hotting up at our hotel on the hill as we welcome five Cornish chefs to Truro to showcase their culinary skills and represent their corner of the county at our Great Coast-to-Coast Charity Dinner. On 27th November, take your seat in The Great Hall for a gourmet extravaganza and help us raise money for our beloved industry charity, Hospitality Action.
The Alverton kitchen will be bursting at the seams with some of Cornwall’s most talented chefs for this friendly evening of exceptional food and wines, prepared by some of the most gifted chefs from our shores.
Who’s cooking?
AMUSE BOUCHE
First up we have chef veteran and in-house talent Nick Hodges, our very own Executive Chef at our three hotels – The Alverton, The Greenbank and The Falmouth. With a home advantage, Nick will be shining the spotlight on our great little city with an amuse bouche to warm up everyone’s taste buds, setting the high standard for the evening.

STARTER
Representing the east Cornish coast is Looe-born-and-bred chef Ben Palmer. Having won the starter at the Parisian banquet for BBC’s Great British Menu 2024, we can’t think of a better person to provide the starter for the evening. Ben heads up his own restaurant, The Sardine Factory, in his hometown. With plenty of awards in culinary performance under his belt, we can’t wait to see what Ben chooses to serve.

FISH
Flying the flag for north Cornwall is Guy Owen, Executive Chef at St Enodoc Hotel in Rock. Guy is no stranger to working in Michelin-starred restaurants and winning awards. His signature style blends French and Asian influences and features the finest Cornish ingredients.

MAIN
The all-important main course of the evening is in the safe hands of a chef well-known for representing west Cornwall. Head Chef and owner of Kota and Kota Kai in Porthleven, Jude Kereama will be treating us to his signature Asian twist on delectable Cornish seafood.

DESSERT
Rounding things off with something sweet and flying the flag for south Cornwall is Tim Kendall. Crowned South West Chef of the Year in 2018, Tim has worked alongside some impressive names in the industry, including Paul Ainsworth, Michel Roux and Chris Eden throughout his career, before pursuing his dream of owning his own restaurant. He and his wife opened The Barley Sheaf in Gorran back in 2020. We can’t wait to see what Tim chooses to serve as the grand finale of the evening.
Tickets are £90 per person and include entry to The Great Hall and a seat at our dinner party, five courses served by five award-winning chefs from across the county, plus an alcoholic pairing with each course. For details on a discounted overnight stay, please see below.
