Tom Kerridge's Pub in the Park Festival Returns for 2018, Bigger and Better Than Ever

Michelin-starred chef and TV personality Tom Kerridge's food festival, Pub in the Park, is back for 2018, bigger and better than ever. Pub in the Park will come to Marlow, Bath, Tunbridge Wells and Knutsford for four weekends over the summer, and with 53,000 tickets sold already it's going to be an incredible new nationwide festival for the UK.

Pub in the Park celebrates the very best food the country has to offer, combined with great live music, chef demonstrations, top quality shopping and other festival fun. On top of nationally-famous chef and music acts, each event will celebrate the local community in the form of brilliant local artisans, pubs, local foodie heroes and musicians.

The festival boasts an amazing line-up of the UK's best culinary and music talent - including Jamie Cullum, Melanie C, Razorlight, Billy Ocean, Tom Odell, Will Young and Sophie Ellis-Bextor taking to the stage, and superstar chefs Josh Eggleton, Angela Hartnett, Paul Ainsworth and Tom himself cooking up a storm. Tom and his fellow chef mates will also be bringing a selection of top pubs and restaurants to serve up some of the best pub grub the UK has to offer for just £5 a dish, so everyone can try a few.

Texas, Scouting for Girls, Squeeze and KT Tunstall will also be playing at the festivals, and other exciting chef demos include GBBO winner Candice Brown and supermodel-turned-landlady Jodie Kidd. Food will also be served up from pop up pubs, including Tom's two pubs, The Hand & Flowers and The Coach, as well as The Sportsman – which was recently named the UK's best pub in the Top 50 Gastropubs Awards. There will be plenty of unmissable dishes on the menu including Pan-fried Foie Gras Toad In The Hole from The Star Inn, Salt Beef, Potato and Fried Onion Croquette from The Hardwick and The Kingham Plough's Courgette Flower Tempura stuffed with Windrush Goats Cheese, Pea and Mint Tartar.

Tom Kerridge said “I am delighted to be able to share the magic of Pub in the Park with the beautiful people of Bath, Tunbridge Wells and Knutsford. Expect great food, brilliant music and an ace day out.”
