This year’s Milford on Sea Food Week features
the appearance of top chefs from across the New Forest. The BIG Cook Off will bring some counties
best culinary talents together, as the chefs’ battle in a fun competition to
see who can cook and present the best courses.
Chefs will be appearing from Chewton Glen, Lime
Wood, The Jetty and recently opened The Pig in Brockenhurst. Each has a reputation for fine food and a
passionate about using the finest local ingredients.
Milford on Sea will be represented by top
village chefs from La Perle, The Marine, Westover Hall and Verveine Fishmarket
Restaurant (‘Hampshire Restaurant of the Year’ and ‘Hampshire Chef of the
Year’)
The two BIG Cook Off shows will be compered by
renowned New Forest chef, Alex Aitken.
Each show will feature two chefs from ‘The Big Boys’ and ‘The Village
Boys’, and each of the four chefs will cook an individual course in the
professional demonstration kitchen. As
the cooking takes place, Alex will casually chat with the chefs and explains
the process and dishes, whilst Alan Holmes, Chef Sommelier from Chewton Glen,
will also be on hand to explain the best wines to go with each course.
A lucky member of audience will be selected to
eat each course, alongside wines selected by Alan, before a fun vote by the
audience decides the winning team.
The BIG Cook Off has two separate shows, one on
the afternoon of Wednesday 11th April, with another show featuring different
chefs on Thursday afternoon on the 12th April. Tickets are
now on sale for each of The BIG Cook Off shows in Gwen’s in Milford on Sea,
