COOKERY DEMONSTRATIONS
The Big Cheese is pleased to announce the re introduction of a high quality cookery demonstration programme.
Looking for recipes to tantalise your taste buds? Need a helping hand in finding something different to cook at the weekend? Then look no further, with a jam packed programme of cookery demonstrations at the event you will be rushing back to your kitchen to cook up a storm this summer.
Not only that, the former Coronation Street star, Sean Wilson, will be in attendance preparing recipes using his top class Saddleworth Cheese.
This year we really are stepping it up a gear with the food hall and cookery demonsations taking up half of the event site. This is what the public want so that’s what they are getting.
Get your autograph books at the ready as “Martin Platt” aka Sean Wilson is coming to Caerphilly Town.
In addition to Sean's recipes we also have some great personalities in attendance, with Carlo from local Caerphilly based company APresto. Carlo is a great demonstrator and certainly will not be outshone by our celebrity chefs.
