Chefs Night Out brings together Wales’s finest chefs to cook for more than 150 guests at Cardiff’s Holland House. Each chef creates a four-course menu per table, but it’s only at the evening’s reception draw you discover who’ll be cooking your dinner.
With menus styled exclusively for the night, food made from local produce, premium wines to accompany each course, plus the chance to bid for a chef to cook in your own home, this is a very special and original dining experience.
SEVENTEEN chefs including Roger Jones from The Harrow at Little Bedwyn, with a combination of nine Michelin stars will be cooking up a delicious night to help a children’s hospice on Saturday 3rd September. Last year the first Chefs’ Night Out event saw 15 of the best chefs in the country cook for charity, raising £100,000.

On Tuesday 9th August over 60 Australian Wine Enthusiasts turned up at The Harrow at Little Bedwyn to decide on their favourite Australian Riesling and Chardonnay. Over 50 wines were entered, all being either 4 or 5 Star rated in Decanter Magazine and all current releases.
Over 30 of The Harrow’s customers were joined by the crème de la crème of the Australian Wine Industry and the UK Press, including Yvonne May (Wine Australia), Christelle Guilbert and Tina Gilles (Decanter), Pierre Monsour (The Wine Society), Tim Wildman MW, Justin Knock MW and Mark Davenport (Penfolds).
Guests were also treated to a blind tasting of Australian wines from the 1990’s , including Moss Wood and Mount Mary Chardonnay 1996, Katnook Brut Sparkling Chardonnay 1995, Plantaganet & Jasper Hill Riesling 1998. Reds included E&E Black Pepper Shiraz 1996, Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 1996, and the highlight Penfolds St Henri and Penfolds Grange 1990.
What was evident from the Riesling and Chardonnay Challenge was the sheer quality and enjoyment that all the guests were getting from all the wines, it was a celebration of fantastic premium quality wines that Australia has showcased for so long.
Both winners receive a Limited Edition Signed Mamba Riedel Decanter. The Mamba decanter, designed by Maximilian Riedel in 2011, is free blown by a master glass blower in Austria and is a unique and functional work of art.
