There aren't many guarantees in life, but if there's one thing that's certain it's that the line-up at Hawksmoor's annual Action Against Hunger's dinner will be top-notch. And the 2016 group of chefs taking part for the 2016 charity dinner certainly doesn't disappoint.

And when all the showtime shenanigans are over and everyone has has their pic snapped on the red carpet, the great and good of the showbiz world will head on over to Grosvenor House for the official awards dinner and after party.
