Publican turned celebrity chef, Tom Kerridge, is to headline this year’s Liverpool Food and Drink Festival, which is set to take place in Sefton Park from 19th-21st September. The star of the BBC programme, ‘Tom Kerridge’s Proper Pub Food’, and the only chef to have received two Michelin stars for pub grub, will be giving demos on how to cook some of his favourite dishes.
Tom Kerridge, TV chef and owner of the Hand and Flowers gastro pub in Marlow, said: “I really like the sound of Liverpool Food and Drink Festival with the city’s pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes and producers taking over Sefton Park for the weekend.
“The north west is gaining quite a reputation for its booming food and drink scene and I’m keen to see what the city has to offer.”
Denise Harris, director of SK Events, the company behind Liverpool Food and Drink Festival, is looking forward to welcoming Tom Kerridge to Liverpool Food and Drink Festival.
She said: “It’s a huge honour for us to have Tom Kerridge at Liverpool Food and Drink Festival this year. His food is all about simple ingredients that are cooked to perfection.”
