Calling All Budelicious Chefs!
The Chefs’ Forum demo stage is set to star at Budelicious Food Festival (Cornwall) on the 22nd and 23rd September 2018.
There will be a special, not-to-be-missed Chefs’ Forum on Monday 24th September called ‘Budelicious Chefs’ which will feature butchery with Gavin from Two Brothers Foods, stock and seasoning masterclass by Major International, chocolate masterclass by Bake Off: The Professionals winner Mark Tilling and fabulous chef cookery demos!
The Budelicious ‘culinary weekender’ will see the Grand Launch of Budelicious, an exciting new food and drink festival for Bude. Chefs joining Peter Gorton on the demo stage over the weekend will include Dez Turland (Brend Hotels) Nick Hodges (The Greenbank), Dave Seargent (Sargies), Dave Sibley (Life’s a Beach), The Olive Tree (Tom Kearse).
This inaugural Cornish food festival will showcase the very best and varied restaurants that Bude has to offer along with wonderful, local, artisan food and drink producers.
The ground-breaking event will involve the whole community with schools, colleges and shops being encouraged to take part as well as a good food trail around local restaurants. It will culminate in a fantastic weekend of food and drink at the Falcon Hotel on 22/23 September, and a trade-only Chefs’ Forum on 24 September.
Budelicious will include ‘street-food’ vendors outside the Falcon Hotel and an Artisans’ Hall, where local area producers will showcase their wares. There will also be a Marquee where our fantastic local chefs will demonstrate their skills.
The event is being led by celebrity chef Peter Gorton (Master Chef of GB) and Chefs’ Forum Committee Member
Peter commented:
“I have been keen to build an event in Bude for some time now, as the town has a lot to offer by the way of some great food and drink artisan producers and eating places. Our aim is to grow the Budelicious event over the coming years to become an established annual food festival in Cornwall.”
Budelicious is being sponsored by the Falcon Hotel, Chadds Foodsmiths and St Austell Brewery through their Proper Job Cornish IPA.
Trade Marketing Manager at St Austell Brewery, Marc Bishop commented:
“We are delighted to support Budelicious, the town of Bude is a very important trading area for us so it’s great to be involved with the new event at its inception.”
Coordination will be provided by the Falcon Hotel. Owner of the Falcon Hotel, Rupert Brendon, added:
“We are proud that we are able to provide the considerable human resources required to plan and execute this complex event for Bude”.
Nick Chadd said:
“We are proud to supply the catering trade around the Bude area and throughout Cornwall for the last 70 years. This event will feature the diverse food offering we have here in the local community and give an additional reason for people to visit Bude – where Cornwall begins!”.
Budelicious is supported by the Bude Area Tourist Board, whose Chair, Linda Winstanley, added: “Like the Bude for Food Festival, we expect Budelicious will help to reinforce Bude’s reputation as a high quality‘foodie destination, and we look forward to welcoming lots of visitors to the town to enjoy all that Bude has to offer.’.
