A WORLD renowned two-Michelin-star chef and TV personality is set to headline the Eat Jersey Food Festival next year.
Michel Roux Jr, who is known for his appearances on MasterChef, will feature in the event being held from 23 to 26 March.
He will be collaborating on a six-course tasting menu with Will Holland, who is the executive chef at The Atlantic Hotel and Ocean Restaurant.
Mr Holland said: ‘I met with Michel Roux Jr at the International Cheese Show in 2021 and began conversations with him about visiting Jersey and the plans we had for Eat Jersey in 2023.
‘He was really enthusiastic about the Island and our local produce and I was over the moon when he said he wanted to be involved. The line-up this year is better than ever before and we’re really excited to bring this amazing event to Jersey.’
Announcing the return of the event, Patrick Burke, owner and managing director of The Atlantic Hotel and founder of the festival, said: ‘When we started Eat Jersey in 2015, it was with a strong desire to celebrate the exceptional produce to be found on our beautiful Island, as well as the remarkable dining experiences it offers.
‘We are thrilled that this unique event will be returning in March 2023 after a couple of missed years due to Covid and I must say that to secure Michel Roux Jr as the headline chef is incredibly exciting.’
Throughout the three days, a number of chefs from Jersey and the UK will be collaborating to put on various courses and meals dedicated to their particular styles.
