Hospitality's Got Talent
Our flagship fundraising event brings the hospitality industry together for a night of performances, in aid of the charities we support. Here's what it's raised so far, and what's coming next.
Hospitality's Got Talent 2024
Our inaugural event took place on Tuesday 26 March 2024 at Piano Works, Farringdon, London, and marked the launch of the Foundation itself. A sell-out crowd of 350 hospitality colleagues watched acts from across the industry compete, with Stuart Barnett of Dewberry Redpoint crowned winner for his rendition of Oasis's ‘Don't Look Back in Anger’.
The night raised more than £30,000 for Make-A-Wish UK and The Burnt Chef Project.
The event was headline sponsored by Bidfood, alongside Just Eat, Bacardi, Tilda, Adnams Brewery, Dr Oetker Professional, Hospitality Media and Dewberry Redpoint.
Hospitality's Got Talent 2025
The second edition returned to Piano Works, Farringdon for a Nashville-themed night, drawing over 300 guests from across the industry, including Bidfood, Harri, Wibble Foods, Yumpingo and BM Caterers. Luis Henrique Pires De Avila of BM Caterers took the crown with a live-band performance of INXS's ‘Never Tear Us Apart’.
Funds raised on the night went towards Make-A-Wish UK and the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation.
What's next: Hospitality's Got Talent 2026
Hospitality's Got Talent returns on Tuesday 15 September 2026 at Piano Works, Farringdon, sponsored by Bidfood — this year with a full 80s theme. Expect neon, big hair, and plenty of retro throwback talent from across the hospitality world.
Beyond Hospitality's Got Talent, the Foundation intends to keep exploring further fundraising activities within the hospitality industry in the years ahead. Details of future events will be added here as they're confirmed.
