Dr George Williams will present an unforgettable evening, with the bar opening from 6.15pm.

Accompanying him are Christian Ørner of SALT Cø, who is famous for mixing refined techniques with unique flavours and beautiful desserts, and Gareth Rixon, whose passion for seasonal produce and innovative outdoor cooking makes delightful barbecue and smoked-food dishes.

“Guests will enjoy the rare opportunity to watch expert chefs at work up close while gathering inspiration for their own kitchens in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.

“Come hungry, bring friends and support a wonderful local cause.”

As well as a live cookery demonstration, attendees will enjoy supper, which is included in the £30 ticket cost.

Live music will grace the evening, further enhancing the charming atmosphere.

Food connoisseurs may even have the chance to sample some of the delectable chefs’ creations.

Each ticket includes an evening of culinary entertainment, supper, live music, and free parking.

With Dr George Williams and his company of talented chefs at the helm, this Saturday night event is set to be an unforgettable experience.
