Nantwich Food Festival organisers have lined up more top chefs to appear at this year’s event in September.

Lesley Waters, Simon Rimmer, Jack Stein and Nigel Brown are set to perform during the three-day event September 1-3.

Festival chef organiser Karen Young said: “The town centre will be buzzing this year with all the great chef demonstrations.

“These will all take place in our state of the art Food Theatre, housed in a large marquee sponsored by Reaseheath College, and located in the Love Lane Festival zone.

“Nantwich Food Festival is unique in providing such high quality chef demonstrations completely free to visitors, so I am thrilled to announce the wonderful line-up of Celebrity Chefs who will be demonstrating this year in the Reaseheath Food Theatre.”

Simon Rimmer is the chef and co-presenter of Sunday Brunch, the Sunday morning show waking up the nation with a mix of chat, current affairs, guests and food.
