Designed by chefs, for chefs, each year the festival moves around the UK, taking the event directly to chefs in different locations. It is an excellent opportunity for foodservice professionals to gather and listen to thoughts and experiences from great chefs, industry experts, producers, suppliers, growers and thought leaders.
Lee Maycock, Universal Cookery and Food Festival director said: “Attending this year, you will be able to see the home of Britain’s first bottled cold pressed rapeseed oil (Mellow Yellow), spend some time foraging wild food, shoot some clay pigeons, wander through our artisan farmers market and watch some amazing demonstrations on both our stages. It is exciting to see the event evolve every year. We are looking forward to another amazing Universal Cookery and Food Festival.”
Confirmed speakers include: Tommy Heaney, Chef and owner of Heaney’s Cardiff, Anjula Devi, consultant chef at Manchester United football club, Galton Blackiston, Chef proprietor of Morston Hall in Norfolk, Paul Foster, head chef at Salt in Warwickshire, Philip Martin, CEO and Founder of Blanco Niño and Kuba Winkowski, head chef at The Feathered Nest Country Inn in Oxfordshire and winner of the Craft Guild of Chefs National Chef of the Year 2019 title.
