The Chefs for Heroes gala dinner is being spearheaded by The Lanesborough's chef de cuisine, Paul Gayler, and dished up by an army of chefs from the UK's top restaurants including Andrew Bennett (Sheraton Park Lane), Gary Klaner (Landmark Hotel), Martyn Nail (Claridge's), Paul Bates (Intercontinental, Hyde Park Corner), Simon Young (The Jumeirah Carlton Tower, Knightsbridge) and Matthew Marshall (Chamberlain's Events). Having cooked for Royalty and pop icons such as Madonna, Mariah Carey and the late Michael Jackson, Paul's team will be serving up the most sumptuous menu using only the finest and freshest ingredients to London's glitterati in a bid to raise £300,000 for Help for Heroes, a charity Paul felt compelled to help after his son Lee was shot in the leg whilst serving with the Territorial Army in Afghanistan. Paul says, "The situation in Afghanistan is forever in our minds, with casualties reported almost daily in the news. Hospitals like Selly Oak and rehabilitation centres like Headley Court are having to deal with ever-increasing numbers of injured servicemen returning home in need of their care. As a father of a wounded soldier, I will be forever grateful for the brilliant care Lee received at the hands of the Headley Court team." Tickets cost from £500 and can be booked at www.chefsforheroes.org.

They say an Army marches on its stomach, so it's entirely appropriate that on the 2nd October London's top chefs will be cooking up a five course feast at London's Guildhall to raise money for troops wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq.
