Stein said: “Touring the country with a show sounds really grown up, like being in a band on tour - ‘Oh it’s Liverpool, it must be Saturday’, sort of thing.

"I’ve discovered of late that I love talking about my life to a live audience.

"I’ve got lots of stories which people seem to really enjoy: like why my nightclub got closed down in the 70's, what was Keith Floyd really like, what the Dalai Lama knew about cooking and why a pint at 5.29pm is so important."

The self-taught chef boasts 25 cookery books, 30 TV programmes, including 12 cookery series, alongside 10 restaurants and multiple hotels.

The event will provide a deeper insight into Stein's journey to becoming a stalwart of the UK cooking scene and how he established his restaurant enterprise with no previous experience.
