Charity Cook-Off
/ April 2026Now in its third year, this year’s Charity Cook Off sees the divisional Managing Directors of Barchester taking on the Senior Management/Executive Team members.
The cook-off takes place on 30th April and raises money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.
Last year’s Cook Off raised over £32,000, and the organisers are hard at work again to raise further vital funds for older people and adults living with disabilities.
Each team will work in pairs to create 4 dishes – a starter, main course, dessert and afternoon tea. Judges will be blind tasting the presented dishes.
Introducing the MDs and SMT/Exec members, who’ll be rustling up the dishes on the day - please click on the name of the team you wish to support to go to their JustGiving pages:
