R200 Yearly Events Schedule
Throughout the year, the R200 hosts three must-attend events, including a lunch & mini conference hosted in a UK city, a two-day European city study tour with networking opportunities, and the prestigious R200 Dinner & Awards. More information on these events can be found below:
Lunch
Designed to create meaningful connections among MDs, operations directors, and senior managers, this event begins with a small conference featuring discussions from some of the industry’s leading operators and is followed by an extended networking lunch at the venue. Our 2026 Lunch will take place at Kricket in Shoreditch.
EU Study Tour
A key feature of the R200 programme, the study tour brings together multi-site operators and industry professionals for a two-day visit to a European city to explore concepts, ingredients, and high-profile restaurants. Past destinations have included Paris, Seville, Naples, Amsterdam, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Malaga, Rome, and most recently, Marseille.
Dinner & Awards
The R200 Dinner & Awards recognise and celebrate achievements within the multi-site and group operator sector. In 2025, the event was hosted at Circolo Popolare in Manchester, where attendees enjoyed an evening of exceptional food and drink.
