Marco Pierre White and Raymond Blanc Headline UK Food Festival | Eater London

"Staged in August on the Cotswolds farm of Blur bassist-turned-cheesemaker Alex James, this weekend event pairs musicians with high-profile chefs and is supported by street-food vendors, a producers' market and a "collaboration kitchen." The lineup mixes culinary heavyweights such as Marco Pierre White, Raymond Blanc and Pierre Koffmann with contemporary figures including Andi Oliver, Gizzi Erskine, 2017 MasterChef winner Saliha Mahmood Ahmed, Merlin Labron-Johnson and Ashley Palmer-Watts, producing a somewhat nostalgic emphasis on established names even as the event validates the idea of chefs as artists. Its music pedigree (hosted by a Blur member and featuring Peter Hook) reinforces a rock-meets-food vibe aimed at maturing festival-goers and families." - Andrew Leitch
