Foodies should head to the Cornish coastal town of Padstow this December for the 12th Padstow Christmas Market & Festival. Master chefs Rick Stein (they don’t call is Pad-stein for no reason), Paul Ainsworth and Nathan Outlaw will fly the Cornish culinary flag from 2 to 5 December.


Padstow has long been regarded as the culinary capital of Cornwall, but Padstow food festival is much more than a cornucopia of festive delights. Michael Caines, Angela Hartnett, Rick Stein, Mitch Tonks, Phil Vickery, Nathan Outlaw and Paul Ainsworth are among the more than 60 chefs who will appear at the festival ensuring that this Christmas fare remains a bedrock of the UK’s gastronomic year. You can also join in the hottest topics on the culinary debate by partaking in one of the food forums with a panel of the food industry’s leading stars.
