We have an open, transparent, and welcoming recruitment process. We actively encourage and welcome applications to join the Reunion des Gastronomes from all sectors of society.

All membership applications need to be supported by a Proposer and a Seconder who both need to be current members.

A list of current members is available at https://gastronomes.org/members-area. If you do not know a member of the Society, you may contact the General Secretary for further information.

Prospective members are normally required to attend an event to be met informally by the President and other members of the Committee prior to submitting an application.

“Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is.”  Irish Proverb

What our members say about the Reunion des Gastronomes

I love the opportunity to meet new people and current business colleagues and friends.  My wife also enjoy the locations and opportunity to meet people.  There is nothing I dislike

The people, the community and networking

Meeting industry colleagues, learning from their experiences

Networking and visiting places you would not ordinarily get to see

The opportunity to share thoughts and good fellowship with members from across all sectors of the hospitality industry.

I have met so many great contacts and have received so much positive advice and help that I do not get from other memberships

Connection with key figures in the Food Hospitality industry
