The Chester Food and Drink festival has been running for nearly twenty years, at Chester Racecourse.The pandemic has meant that the 20th event has now been rescheduled four times. They need the support of the Chester community to make sure the event continues for years to come.
Festival Organiser, Briony Wilson said “Chester is a city of food lovers and I think it’s fair to say we are all very proud of it. We know it’s been a rough time for everyone, but this is something positive and fun you can do for yourselves and our community. Please support us by coming along, so we can continue this foodie tradition for future generations”.
Taste Cheshire’s Chester Food and Drink Festival has been an integral part of the city’s calendar and for the first time, the festival this year will take place over August Bank Holiday weekend, 28th - 30th August 2021, taking over the central section of Chester Racecourse.
This year’s event has been specially designed to be nearly entirely outdoors, and with the help of a one way system, and 100+ fantastic exhibitors, they are working to make it as a safe as possible for everyone.
Highlights of this year include, THE CELEBRITY CHEFS, John Torode, Chris Bavin and Paul Rankin will be on the festival chef demonstration stage.
We are also thrilled to welcome some distinguished LOCAL CHEFS. Stuart Collins, Docket no.33 who recently appeared on the Great British Menu will be sharing the stage with local Chef ambassador Brian Mellor.
Curtis Tonge, Head Chef at The Forge, will also be on stage to talk sustainable British food. Darren and Liam from The Faulkner in Hoole, will be showing off their culinary skills and we will be treated to a very special vegan cooking session by plant based Chef Rupert Worden.
Special mention too, for the Bar Lounge Cocktail team, who’ll be flexing their cocktail skills on the demo stage.
Don’t forget you can also try your hand at cooking, with both adult and children’s cooking classes available for free at the event.
So come along, bring your appetite and your colleagues, friends or family for a truly remarkable day out in Chester.
