Celebrity Cook-Off with Matt & Julie

Information

We're closing the festival in style with a head-to-head cook-off between two of British TV's most-loved chefs. Matt Tebbutt and Julie Lin step into the Kitchen Marquee for a fast-paced Sunday afternoon battle, each given the same challenge, the same clock, and the same brief: create the most delicious dish possible. The catch? You decide who wins.

Expect quick thinking, quicker chopping, and friendly competition that brings out the best in two chefs who clearly love what they do.

Audience votes at the end will crown the Stranraer Oyster Festival Cook-Off Champion. What’s at stake? Bragging rights and the warm satisfaction of having beaten a fellow pro on a Stranraer Sunday afternoon.

This is a brand-new event for Stranraer Oyster Festival and we reckon it's a fitting finale to three days of food, drink and good company on the shores of Loch Ryan, and the perfect way to send everyone home with full hearts and possibly a few new dish ideas.

On arrival, attendees will be welcomed with a Five Kingdoms beer, or a non-alcoholic alternative.
