York Minster joins in the Food and Drink Festival

Published: on 12th September 2003 by Eleanor Course in Press Releases

York Minster is delighted to be joining in this year's York Festival of Food and Drink. As part of the event 'The Clients' Puddings', the Acting Dean of York Minster, Canon Glyn Webster, will be donning an apron to create three fantastic puddings in forty minutes!

In 'The Clients' Puddings', Milburns Restaurants, who provide catering at museums across York, are inviting four of their clients to create three puddings on stage. Representatives from York Minster, the National Railway Museum, the Bar Convent and the Castle Museum will be joined by their respective head chef from Milburns to act as coach. The contestants will have only forty minutes to create three puddings and the audience will choose the winner!

Canon Webster will be assisted by Trevor Phillips, head chef at York Minster's restaurant in St William's College. This event will be taking place on Wednesday 17th September at 14:00 in the Festival Food Theatre in St Sampson's Square, and entry is free of charge.

York Minster is also hosting the Festival's Gourmet Dinner, with a champagne reception in the Chapter House of York Minster, followed by a sumptuous five-course dinner with wine at St William's College.
