Huge congratulations to all of our incredible finalists in our Food and Culture Awards 2025, who joined us at the Rose Theatre on 23 June to celebrate!

Our ambassadors and supporters include top chefs Adam Byatt, Emily Roux, Nick Beardshaw and Alex Webb, who all presented awards to our fabulous winners.

Many thanks to our presenters Leyla Kazim and Robin Hutchinson MBE, our hosts Rose Theatre, and sponsors Kingston First, Positively Putney, Lucie White & Company, Enjoy Sutton, Love Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village Business Association, Bluprint, The Royal Parks, and Gentleman & A Van.

Guests were treated to food and drink tastings from Hampton Court Spirits, Bone Idyll, OctaGreen, Harvey’s Bakehouse, Fantail Rum, Nikki’s Kitchen and Salwa London. They also found out more about Vessa, a new AI-powered restaurant booking engine.

And our raffle was held in aid of fantastic local charity Creative Youth, which now needs our support more than ever after a devastating flood days before the start of its flagship festival FUSE International at its FUSEBOX hub.
