Portsmouth Culinary Association™

The Portsmouth Culinary Association™ (PCA) is dedicated to advancing the art, craft, and culture of gastronomy across Portsmouth and the wider South Coast. We provide a professional platform where chefs, culinary students, hospitality leaders, and food enthusiasts can connect, collaborate, and grow together.

Guided by principles of excellence, education, and sustainability, the PCA works to elevate culinary standards, promote local talent, and strengthen the relationship between kitchens, producers, and communities.

At the heart of our mission lies a belief that food has the power to unite and inspire. We proudly champion locally sourced ingredients, encourage responsible and sustainable practices, and support initiatives that reduce food waste and environmental impact.

Through shared knowledge, mentorship, and celebration of regional cuisine, we aim to ensure Portsmouth’s culinary identity continues to thrive — both on the plate and within the community.
