Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge's festival is set to return to Verulamium Park from Friday, September 11 to Sunday, September 13.

Organisers of the three-day food and live music extravaganza have announced the first pubs and restaurants that will be joining the team of superstar chefs on the 2020 tour.

Among those signed up to serve hungry festival-goers in St Albans is Candice Brown's The Green Man in Eversholt.

Pub in the Park is the biggest food and music festival tour in the UK, and more than 120,000 people attended across the country last year.

Tom Kerridge and his chef pals will be bringing tasty dishes and great live music to eight locations this summer, from May through to September.

At each venue there will be Michelin-starred and award-winning pubs and restaurants serving tasting dishes showing off their signature style.

Every event will celebrate the very best food the country has to offer, combined with fantastic live music, chef demonstrations, top quality shopping and other festival fun.
