The line-up for the Great Bath Feast’s festival weekend has just been announced! Taking place on 24th to 26th September in the city centre, the festival line-up features many of Bath’s renowned and much-loved culinary stars, including:

Ping Coombes, MasterChef winner in 2014, owner of Ping’s Makan Supper Club and Ping’s Masak Cookery School; Chris Cleghorn from The Olive Tree; Richard Buckley from OAK; Gavin Edney from The Elder; Noya Pawlyn from Noya’s Kitchen; Charlie Hopkins and Dylan Ambasna-Jones from Walcot House; Garry Rosser and Dan Rosser from Scallop Shell; Dan Moon, formerly from The Gainsborough; Marty Grant and Richard Knighting from Corkage; Pravin Nayar from Castle Farm in Midford; James Golding from The Pig Near Bath. Plus, Nathan Outlaw from Fish Kitchen, Restaurant at The Capitol and Siren at The Goring; and TV personality and Celebrity MasterChef winner in 2018, Ulrika Jonsson. 

The line-up has been curated by the festival’s headline sponsor, Richard Bertinet, owner of The Bertinet Kitchen cookery school and founder of the Bertinet Bakery. More names will be announced in due course.

Starting at Milsom Street and leading to New Bond Street in Bath, the streets will be lined with an array of market stalls that offer the best local and international food and drink. The chef demo area is not to be missed, with a jam-packed programme of events - positioned at the bottom of Milsom Street. Both roads will be closed to traffic. For three full days, food and drink enthusiasts can enjoy a buzzing market atmosphere, tantalising food and drinks options, the chance to learn more about food and drinks, and take part in the general merriment. This is a free, open event for all to enjoy!

As part of Bath’s collective plans to reignite its local hospitality scene, the festival organisers would like to encourage food and drink retailers and producers to get involved in a number of ways: by booking a stall at the festival weekend, taking part in the Bath Bites Trail and/or hosting a fringe event in October. 

The Bath Bites trail is a joint initiative with Bath BID to showcase signature dishes from the city’s restaurants, cafés and pubs. The map will be distributed at the festival weekend, sent to Bath BID’s levy payers and will be accessible from the Great Bath Feast and Bath BID websites. 

The Great Bath Feast’s October fringe events will shine a light on what Bath’s local businesses do best, in their own establishments. Whether it's a special supper club, a foodie book launch, masterclass, tasting or food photography event, the festival organisers are on hand to support the curation of these events and spread the word.

Find out more about these initiatives via the Great Bath Feast’s Get Involved page and sign up to their newsletter for competitions and future announcements: www.greatbathfeast.co.uk.

Originally co-created by Visit Bath and the Bath BID in 2012, the Great Bath Feast is now organised by ILOW (ilowhq.com) – Cornwall’s leading food and drink events company. Visit Bath (visitbath.co.uk) and Bath BID (bathbid.co.uk) continue to support the Great Bath Feast as strategic partners.
