Chatsworth Country Fair 2012
Friday 31 August, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 September
The Aga Rangemaster Cookery Theatre
In the Fine Food Village, led by Martin Griffiths, the Demo Tent "Anchorman"
Each day, from about 11 am to 5 pm
Supported by Aga Rangemaster
Our hugely popular and entertaining Cookery Theatre will have running programmes from 11 am until 5 pm every day. Our chefs have the use of a professionally equipped stage and set with the support of Rangemaster, with sound sytems and repeater screens
Chefs being what they are, and service what it is, it is not possible to have the schedule until the last moment: the running order will be available at the tent on the day. But there will be plenty of time for questions and hopefully some interesting contributions from some of the exhibitors in the Food Village. We are grateful to our demonstrators, and hope that they don’t burn anything....
We shall be posting more details regularly in the run up to the Fair.
Our thanks too go to Martin Griffiths, who once again will mastermind, compère, and generally steer proceedings along some sort of orderly lines.
Martin Griffiths was born in Liverpool and moved to Colwyn Bay in his teens, where he was a schoolboy champion of Wales racing sailing dinghies. He also raced “Hot Rod” Bangers and Classic Cars. Trained at Llandrillo, he was acclaimed “Best Student of the Year”, and has worked at the Atlantic Towers Hotel in Liverpool, the Noake Hotel in St Albans, the Compleat Angler in Marlow, the Izaak Walton Hotel, Dovedale, and the Monk Fryston Hotel – amongst others. He lives in Ashbourne, enjoys all styles of international cuisine, and his own preference is for simple foods cooked well, where the flavours speak for themselves.
If Martin demonstrates he will be deciding what to do on the hoof, as he will be using ingredients from the Fine Food Village and Chatsworth Shops at the Fair!
