Celebrity chef Aiden Byrne will delight diners while raising money for the Prince’s Foundation at a very special event in Deeside later this month.
The chef – the youngest recipient of a Michelin star who also appeared on TV show The Great British Menu – will serve up a six-course tasting menu at The Rothesay Rooms in Ballater.
Prince Charles opened the restaurant in 2016, and it is a collaboration of his Dumfries House Trust and local groups.
Mr Byrne has already raised around £300,000 for the duke’s other charity, The Prince’s Trust.
Now the Liverpool-born chef and his sous-chef John Bentley will team up with the Rothesay Rooms’ executive chef Ross Cochrane for the fundraiser.
My Byrne said: “With the six courses, I want to take the diners on a bit of a journey through dishes that I’ve developed over a number of years.
“My team has skills and experience desired by people with disposable income and charitable objectives.
“It’s nice to be in a position to offer our services in that way.”
Prince Charles, through his foundation, helped Ballater regain its footing following Storm Frank.
