Last night, I had the incredible opportunity to visit @thepass_southlodge at @south_lodge , representing the wonderful @hexclad , a proud sponsor of the one-off @prept.foundation showcase event. This special evening brought together two Michelin-starred chefs- @chefadamsmith of Woven at the @dorchestercollection and @benwnerdchef of The Pass- who collaborated on an extraordinary eight-course menu. I was fortunate enough to experience it, and it was nothing short of magical!
This event marked the final night of Prept’s week-long series, where top chefs from across the country came together to create unforgettable dining experiences. Last night was no exception. I had the privilege of watching these talented chefs at work in the kitchen and indulging in the remarkable menu they had curated. It was an evening I won’t soon forget.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Prept Foundation, they’re an incredible charity dedicated to helping young people enter the hospitality industry—from growing food in the fields to working alongside Michelin-starred chefs. All proceeds from the showcase events go directly to this meaningful cause. Right now, Prept is also hosting an auction where you can bid on incredible prizes, including a luxury night away with dinner at Adam Smith’s renowned restaurant, Woven. After experiencing his Michelin-starred cuisine last night, I can confidently say this is an opportunity not to be missed! The auction closes Wednesday night, so be sure to check out Prept’s page for details.
A truly spectacular evening at one of Sussex’s most iconic restaurants—all in support of a worthy cause. If you’re looking to experience Michelin-starred dining near Brighton, The Pass is an absolute must! And thank you so much to @hexclad for allowing me to represent them at this wonderful event, I got to see the chefs at work with these high end pans and it was nothing short of amazing!
I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
