Head down to The Marquee at Calverley Grounds for our Chef's Table Panel led by Gaby Huddart, Editorial Director of Good Housekeeping.

Owner Chef of The Counter, opening this Spring, Robin Read.
A supporter of the artisan farmers, growers and producers, and a strong advocate of naturally sourced produce, Robin has hunted down the best you can find from farm to sea.  He takes great pride in having met all his suppliers and been to the farm, river, warehouse, barn, wherever across the country to make sure he has the best knowledge of his produce in his kitchen.

Head chef at The Beacon, Scott Goss.
Scott is famous for his seasonal cooking bringing a comforting, familiar and nostalgic-induced feel to his seasonal menus.

Head chef at Thackerays, Patrick Hill.
Fittingly from the home of William Makepeace Thackeray, Pat brings the best of British and European fine dining together with classic culinary tips for the keen cook to practice at home.

This fantastically fun event seeks to share the joy of cooking with guests, encouraging them to explore the many delicious, local and environmentally conscious restaurants and produce in Tunbridge wells, and reminding us all that when we eat well, we live well.

This session is perfect for the food enthusiast, a passionate chef, or the cook at home simply looking for home tips and inspiration.
