Nigel Howard, Chef Patron and Lisa Allen, Head Chef at Northcote Manor, Adam Gray from Rhodes Twenty Four, Ravi Bajaj from Dilli and Andrew Pern from The Star At Harome are just some of the chefs in this year's line up.

“I am very proud to be associated with Northern Restaurant & Bar 2009 as it highlights the best the hospitality industry has to offer. Being part of the show allows me to demonstrate some of the outstanding seasonal British produce we have on offer in this country,” said Adam Gray, Head Chef, Rhodes Twenty Four

The Culinary Theatre has a history of attracting top and Michelin star chefs including Marcus Wareing, Eyck Zimmer, Stephen Smith and Andrew Nutter.

Regent Recruitment are the official sponsors of the Culinary Theatre helping source fantastic chefs for this year’s show, such as Paul Askew of The London Carriage Works and Matt Nugent, Head of Heathcotes.

“We are delighted to be associated with this year’s Culinary Theatre programme which has become renowned for showing off the incredible talent of northern chefs. From our industry contacts and working with the likes of Gordon Ramsey, The Lowry, The Dorchester, Heathcotes and Juniper, we have been able to bring some truly great chefs to this year’s exhibition” said Veena Hira, Director, Regent Recruitment.

Top chefs from the Culinary Theatre will work hand in hand with budding students from Trafford College in the Aspire Restaurant to create and serve signature dishes.  This always goes down a treat with the visitors and 2009 will be no exception.
