Thame Food Festival is going to be sizzling this year!
The main arena space will be dominated by Savage BBQ and their FREE fire cage demonstrations. Born from a passion for the great outdoors, they will be sharing how to cook amazing fire-food for family and friends. This will be topped off with the latest hot star joining the headline on the Big Cookery Stage – John Whaite. He will be taking to the stage alongside several other chef and baking stars including the winner of the 2022 Great British Bake-Off – Syabria Yusoff.
This fiery combination of familiar faces will be celebrating food in its many forms over the weekend of the 30th September and 1st October. With demonstrations from several past Great British Bake-Off winners and contestants including Giuseppe Dell’Anno, David Atherton, Jurgen Krauss, Janusz Domagala, Val Stones and of course long-term frequent visitor to the festival Steven Carter-Bailey. Other festival favourites will be Dave Mooney, Alex Hollywood, Lucie Ellis and Paula McIntyre who will be joining from Northern Ireland where she is known for her BBC programme Hamely Kitchen.
