The show is set to be even more interactive this year, as leading chefs launch the new feature
In addition, top regional companies including New Forest Ice Cream, Essential Cuisine, Continental Bakeries Ltd, Purbeck Cider Brewery, Western Marquees and many more will also be attending. All live events will be running at regular intervals over the two-day show.
Managing Director of Evisstar, Richard Joslin, who organises the show said: “The Craft Guild Master Classes are the perfect way for aspiring chefs to rub shoulders with some of the region’s most celebrated chefs and be able to take away practical skills to influence their own menus.”
The Hotel and Catering Show 2015 will take place at the Bournemouth International Centre on March 17-18. Over 90% of its trade visitors come from the local region and include independent hotels, cafés, restaurants, pubs and delis.
