The Springboard Charity Dinner 24th January 2020 Hosted at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
Next year the Springboard charity will be helping a village in need in Rota, Nicaragua, South America where we will help build a school as well as cook for the local children. Ever since I completed the BaxterStorey Chefs Academy I really wanted to help others as I’ve been helped and supported so much over the last few years. It is important to give back because it teaches us to find compassion within ourselves and stay attached to the values that we live by.
Thank you for your support. Ryan Smith, Senior Commis Chef

I have created tonight’s menu to be completely plant-based in order to minimise food waste and highlight sustainability and its impact on the environment. Our food philosophy starts with respecting the ingredients and understanding where they come from.
The menu is also about eating seasonally, therefore the ingredients have been locally sourced, making use of some the excellent produce in and around Oxfordshire, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
