With all proceeds from the restaurant going towards their worldwide programmes; the charity is recognised as a leader in the fight against child malnutrition around the world and is one of the UK’s food and drink industry’s charity of choice.
This years top chefs, Nieves Barragán Mohacho (Barrafina), Raymond Blanc, Jason Atherton (Pollen Street Social), Gizzi Erskine (chef and food writer) andShaun Searley (The Quality Chop House), each designed a 5 star burger exclusively for Taste of London visitors:

This year was the second highest amount that has ever been made on the restaurant. Around £20,000 was generated from burger sales, with 100% of this going towards important work around the world!

To put this into context, £20,000 is enough to provide the nutrition treatment to save the lives of 476 severely malnourished children, or can provide emergency kits for 1,530 people which include a blanket, soap, bucket and tarpaulin in times of crisis.
