Toby Wand, managing director at Fresh Montgomery commented: “We’re delighted to have Antony at the show. He was one of our very first celebrity chefs and not many people have done more to make cooking accessible to the masses than him. With a long and decorated history in the industry, he truly is a fascinating character. The knowledge and experience that he can impart will be invaluable to show visitors, as he has seen and done it all. Save the date in your diary – this is one not to miss!”
The show is taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 21st-23rd January.
