“A culinary Bill Bailey, with chopping boards instead of keyboards. It is a multi-sensory delight to spend an hour with him” SCOTSMAN

Over the past half-decade George has toured three shows (‘Anarchist Cook’, ‘DIY Chef’ and ‘Movable Feast’), he’s cooked over a thousand dishes, all of them in front of a live audience and none of them with a kitchen. Revisiting those unlikely environments armed with the chef’s skills he’s honed, expect to learn how to make food on a train with a laptop, in a shed with power tools and in a hotel room with the appliances they unwittingly provide you with.

“You’ll never look at a Corby trouser press in the same way again. Brilliant” JAY RAYNER

George has appeared and cooked on ‘Bake Off: An Extra Slice’ (Channel 4), ‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’ (Channel 4) and ‘This Morning’ (ITV). He’s made food live on the radio too on ‘Loose Ends’ (BBC R4) a show which he now regularly co-hosts, you can hear him every Monday on Craig Charles’ (BBC 6 Music) Show, and he’s even presented an episode of ‘The Food Programme’ (BBC R4).

Doors and refreshments from 7pm, event starts 7.30pm.

Tickets include refreshments courtesy of Valentino's Ristorante.
