“To provide hope and a moment of respite through sharing meals made by chefs and restaurants with people facing difficulties in our community.”
That’s the ethos that sits at the heart of Eat Well MCR and its mission.
And why Williams Stanley & Co is proud to support the charity and why our founder Tom Stanley is a trustee.
On the 9th March, Eat Well and NRB will host their 6th annual Fundraising Dinner at Circolo Popolare in Manchester – bringing together an exceptional line-up of chefs and a carefully curated guestlist of senior hospitality decision makers.
It’s a brilliant occasion to host clients, strengthen existing relationships and connect with potential buyers in a relaxed, celebratory setting.This year’s chef line up includes:
- Ahmed Abdalla – Legacy at The Grand, Great British Menu 2025
- Tom Barnes – Skof (MICHELIN Star 2025)
- Chris Trundle – Climat
- Alfonso Esposito – Circolo Popolare
- Jamie Pickles – Stow (MICHELIN Guide recommended)
- Livia Alarcon – CHIN-ZANO, Great British Menu 2025
- Shaun Moffat & Tom McManus – Winsome (MICHELIN-listed)
- Natalia Ribbe – Sète, CODE Woman of the Year 2025
- Paul Durand – Manifest (MICHELIN Guide, National Restaurant Awards Top 100)
- Richard Carver – Honest Crust & Proloco
- Rich Sharples – Loafi Bakehouse
- Zosima Fulwell (Mama Z) – Filipino-British chef
The evening will be curated by Chef Mary-Ellen McTague and hosted by Emily Spowage, featuring welcome drinks, canapés, a multi-course dinner and selected drinks – alongside Living Room Dance Club and DJ Lenny.
Proceeds from the event fund chef-made meals for:
- Families in temporary accommodation
- Women seeking refuge
- Food banks
- Schools supporting families in need
- These meals do more than nourish – they bring moments of joy and and an emotional lift for people facing challenging times.
With so much of this event made possible by the generosity of industry professionals, at least 80% of funds raised can go directly to providing meals for those in need.
