THE first ever Old Down Estate Food Festival will take place later this month.
The event will see a plethora of top chefs take to the Chefs’ Forum demonstration stage to showcase culinary techniques using local ingredients.
Among those sharing their expertise will be winner of MasterChef 2014 Ping Combes, Thornbury’s Indian chef Romy Gill from Romy’s Kitchen, festival organiser and executive head chef at Old Down Estate Chris Wicks and Pat Hart and Sherrie Eugene-Hart presenters of Made in Bristol TV’s show CaribAsian.
Mr Wicks said: “We are delighted to have so many talented chefs on board to demonstrate such a range of food styles and techniques."
“Bristol’s food scene is so vibrant and culturally diverse and I think the chefs that will be appearing really represent that variety.
“I hope that this festival will be a real celebration of everyone coming together to showcase everything that that the area has to offer.”
As well as watching demonstrations visitors will also be able to enjoy a range of street food throughout the day.
The festival will take place on Bank Holiday Monday August 31 at the Old Down Estate, with gates opening at 10am.
