Fishermen’s Mission Celebrity Chef Charity Fundraising Dinner
The Challenge
The Fishermen’s Mission hosted a unique Celebrity Chef Charity Fundraising Dinner at Tregonce Barn, near Trevear Farm in North Cornwall, on Saturday 28th September 2024. This exclusive event featured a delectable five-course seafood-inspired menu crafted by an impressive lineup of renowned celebrity chefs, including Nathan Outlaw (Honorary Vice Patron of the Fishermen’s Mission), Jamie Porter, Matthew Periam, Henk de Villiers Ferreira, and Eddy Rains. All chefs volunteered their time and expertise to support the cause.
The evening offered exceptional food, engaging entertainment, and a unique auction featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and gifts. With the generous support of volunteers, sponsors, and local businesses and organisations such as Truro College, Cornwall College, and Padstow Brewing Company, the event successfully raised over £31,000 to support fishermen and their families across the UK.
Given the exclusive nature of the event, delivering a premium experience was essential. Every element, including the event materials, needed to reflect this standard. That’s where Kernow Coatings stepped in as a valued partner, providing high-quality print solutions.

What the Fishermen’s Mission Had to Say
Julian Waring, Regional Fundraising Manager for Cornwall & Devon at Fishermen’s Mission, shared his glowing testimonial:
“At the recent ‘Celebrity Chef’ fundraising dinner, in aid of the Fishermen’s Mission, we had the expert guidance from Kernow Coatings. They easily handled a complex multiple printing order, from an A3 seating plan to double-sided menus in A5, and lists of auction prizes on differing sizes of paper. In under a week, I collected the items, all neatly stored in a bespoke cardboard box.
Each printed sheet looked amazing — nice thick paper that stood up on the tables and the colours not only jumped out but also blended perfectly with the theme of the night and the wildflower arrangements! We’re so grateful for the efficient, quick support from the friendly team at Kernow Coatings.”
