Great food.
Greater impact. 

Imagine if our shared loved of food and drink could contribute to ending hunger. Picture a world where the same passion that drives us to seek out our favourite meals becomes a force for ensuring everyone has access to good, nutritious food.

 

The World Food Auction gives us that opportunity. It's a chance for the global food community – chefs, restaurants, food lovers, and everyone who believes that food is one of life's great pleasures – to come together and tackle hunger as what it really is: a question of justice and fairness.

  

Our approach is simple: we curate once-in-a-lifetime food experiences that money usually can't buy, then offer them to people who truly value exceptional food and want their passion to have purpose. Think private cooking sessions with renowned chefs, exclusive dinners at impossible-to-book restaurants, bespoke food and wine experiences, and culinary adventures that will become stories you'll tell for years.

 

Every bid, every experience, every pound raised goes towards a great food-related cause somewhere in the world. Our main charity partner is Action Against Hunger, a truly global force for good, but our auction lot donors decide where the money they raise goes. From local community kitchens to innovative food security projects, the power is in their hands.

  

For chefs and restaurants, we're looking for experiences that showcase your passion and craft. Whether it's an intimate cooking class, a chef's table evening, or something completely unique, your contribution reaches food lovers who truly understand and value what you do.

 

For food brands and anyone in the hospitality world, partner with us to connect with conscious consumers who share your values and want to be part of something meaningful.

 

And for everyone else who believes that great food should be a joy, not a luxury that only some can access – spread the word, get involved, and remember that every choice we make about food can contribute to a fairer world.

 

This isn’t charity at arm’s length. It’s a chance to use our shared love of food to support those who deserve what many take for granted: enough to eat, meals that nourish, and the dignity of food security.

  

If you believe great food should be a joy, not a privilege – get involved. Because when we give a lot (pun intended), we all gain something even more valuable.
