Once again, Michelin-starred celebrity chef Tom Kerridge will be bringing together his band of incredible chef pals including Atul Kochhar, James Martin, The Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown, Stephen Terry and more for a weekend of great grub and fun in the cathedral city.

Festival-goers can feast on exclusive dishes for £6 a plate including BBQ Glazed Brisket from Kerridge’s two-Michelin starred The Hand & Flowers.

Tapas sized signature dishes also include Spiced Aubergine and Chimichurri Bruschetta from Lussmanns, Wild Boar Sausage Roll from Candice Brown’s The Green Man, and a 12-hour Oak Smoked British Lamb served on a warm, fluffy Naco from Afghan BBQ legends Cue Point.

There will also be more vegetarian options than ever before.

Kerridge said: “I’m so excited to be bringing another incredible menu to Pub in the Park this year.

"We all deserve a good party and I can’t wait for everyone to dig into some great food whilst watching some quality live gigs.

"I know I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the other chef’s food as well!”

It wouldn’t be Pub in the Park without some top-notch live music, so expect performances from the likes of Brand New Heavies, a Faithless DJ set, All Saints, Basement Jaxx DJ set, Lightning Seeds, Gabrielle, and more over the weekend.

Great food needs great drinks, so Greenall’s Gin will be serving up some summery cocktails to get you in the party mood.

Their Greenall’s Basil Smash – refreshing and punchy – is perfect paired with The Hand & Flowers BBQ brisket.

For a sweet hit to complement The Hardwick’s Crispy Salt Beef Hash there’s a Greenall’s Blueberry & Honey Punch.
