THE ANTI-BANQUET IS THE BRAINCHILD OF JOSH EGGLETON, SHONA GRAHAM AND THEIR community organisation TEAM CANTEEN, WITH THE AIM TO CREATE A rolling, SUSTAINABLE REVENUE SOURCE FOR BRISTOL’S CHARITIES AND ORGANISATIONS WHO WORK SO HARD TO SUPPORT VULNERABLE GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS IN OUR CITY.

The event is staged as a partnership between Team Canteen, The Pony Chew Valley, Ashton Gate Stadium, Team Love and Plaster. It is made possible by generous donations from sponsors including Bristol Beer Factory and Arthur David. Sponsoring companies will each be given a table to donate to team from a charity or to use for their own team members who wouldn’t usually get to attend celebration events.

We’re giving our guests a good time, delicious food and raising money at the same time…The difference with The Antibanquet is that CEOs and leadership from the sponsoring businesses will be given the chance to NOT ATTEND the banquet! They can work alongside the team, cooking in the kitchen alongside some of the UK’s most esteemed chefs, or working front of house - serving the guests throughout the night.

Although this is not compulsory, our past working CEOs have loved the chance to have a new experience, have fun networking (and enjoyed the secret bar and nibbles!).
