Reserve your place for this unique evening and mingle with a jury of celebrated chefs and emblematic figures of the gastronomy world — the very people who have shaped fine dining in Britain and France.

2026 brings a chic and convivial standing reception, designed to encourage mixing, tasting and genuine conversation throughout the night.

You will enjoy a tasting of every competitor's pâté-croûte, exceptional champagne and wines, and a refined cocktail service — a true celebration of haute charcuterie in an elegant, sociable setting.

Vote for your favourite creation and help crown the winner of the Auguste Escoffier Prize ( vote from the public), alongside the official jury's verdict of the evening.

Our 10 contestants will also be guided by their coach, Chef Frédéric Le Guen-Geffroy, World Champion of Pâté-Croûte 2023, whose expertise will help raise the competition to unprecedented heights.

You could buy individual tickets at a price of £90 each from the 20th of July 2026

Join us on Monday 19th of October 2026 / Event time 5:30 – 9:30pm/ At the SAVOY Hotel, Strand, London WC2R 0EZ.
