Who’s cooking?

Amuse Bouche

First up we have chef veteran and in-house talent Nick Hodges, the Executive Chef at The Alverton, The Greenbank and The Falmouth. With a home advantage, Nick will be shining the spotlight on our great little city with an amuse bouche to warm up everyone’s taste buds, setting the high standard for the evening.

First Course

Providing the starter for the evening is Guy Owen, Executive Chef at St Enodoc Hotel in Rock. Representing the north Cornish coastline, Guy is no stranger to working in Michelin-starred restaurants and winning awards. His signature style blends French and Asian influences and features the finest Cornish ingredients.

Second Course

Flying the flag for south Cornwall is Tim Kendall. Crowned South West Chef of the Year in 2018, Tim has worked alongside some impressive names in the industry, including Paul Ainsworth, Michel Roux and Chris Eden throughout his career, before pursuing his dream of owning his own restaurant. He and his wife opened The Barley Sheaf in Gorran back in 2020.

Third Course

The all-important main course of the evening is in the safe hands of a chef well-known for repping west Cornwall. Head Chef and owner of Kota and Kota Kai in Porthleven, Jude Kereama will be treating us to his signature Asian twist on delectable Cornish seafood.

Fourth Course

Rounding things off with something sweet and representing the east Cornish coast is Looe-born-and-bred chef Ben Palmer. Star of the BBC’s Great British Menu – having won through to the final banquet in 2024 – Ben heads up his own restaurant, The Sardine Factory, in his hometown. With plenty of awards in culinary performance under his belt, we can’t wait to see what Ben chooses to serve as the grand finale of the evening.
