On Friday 25th September, members have the chance of both a River Thames trip, including a visit inside Tower Bridge, then lunch at The Dicken’s Inn, St Katharines Dock, and a visit to the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace in the afternoon.
The evening Welcome Dinner on Friday 25th, will be held in the fabulous Fishmongers’ Hall on the banks of the River Thames in the City.
On Saturday 26th September, the morning options are the Induction Ceremony at St Clement Danes Church or a canal boat trip along the Regents canal to Camden Market.
That afternoon we have two great options: a Cognac Masterclass lead by Julien Frison in the Cumberland Hotel; or a guided tour of the Wallace Collection followed by a Champagne afternoon tea.
Our Gala Dinner, on Saturday 26th, will be in the wonderful Intercontinental Hotel Ballroom and will, as usual, include a raffle to raise funds for our chosen charity The Clink, for the encouragement and help to the less fortunate in life, particularly in the hospitality industry.
The event closes with something again at a great height on Sunday 27th September – lunch at Harvey Nichols restaurant at the top of the OXO Tower on the South Bank overlooking the River Thames and a view of the City of London.
In the Chaîne tradition the teams in all these venues have planned great menus reflecting both location and time of year and you are ensured to leave saying ‘wow’.
We look forward to giving you all the warmest of welcomes, and great camaraderie. This event is above all a meeting of friends to share experiences together.
