A Cornish food and music festival has announced its line-up of chefs, curated by Cornwall’s own Jack Stein, alongside a number of musical headliners.

Rock Oyster Festival, 29 to 31 July 2022, has teamed up with chef Jack Stein to bring some of the best chefs in the country to Dinham House, near Rock, for a weekend of cookery demonstrations, food and feasting.

Jack will host TV personalities such as Gizzi Erskine, Rosemary Shrager, Rick Stein, and Romy Gill, with music from Laura Mvula, Happy Mondays, Passenger, Grandmaster Flash, Gentleman’s Dub Club, Jade Bird, The Skints, a DJ set from Huey Morgan and Rae Morris.

Jack Stein, chef director of the Stein Restaurant Group since 2017, said: "I am delighted to be hosting this year's festival.

"It has given me this unique opportunity to gather friends who I’ve met over the years to connect and celebrate delicious food in my home county.

"The location is fantastic, overlooking the Camel Estuary and Padstow, and I’m looking forward to introducing everyone to where I grew up, how it inspired my career, while sharing hints and tips on how to best prepare the delicious local produce that Cornwall provides."

Gizzi Erskine, TV presenter, podcaster and award winning food writer, will kick things off on Friday with a demo on the main demo stage.

Adam Handling, head chef and owner of Ugly Butterfly, will join Gizzi that day, along with Great British Bake-off star Lottie Bedlow.

Saturday’s line-up includes haute-cuisine teacher and presenter Rosemary Shrager; Ready Steady Cook’s Romy Gill, MBE; and Richard Bertinet, baker and bread enthusiast.

Festival Director Roxy Bater said: "We knew that Jack would do an excellent job at maintaining a Cornish feel to the festival whilst inviting down world-renowned restaurateurs and chefs.

"Cornwall is the home of so many incredible chefs, producers and creatives.
