Joe Warwick, co-founder of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants will be on hand to champion the latest chef and pub talent across the city.

Critic Grace Dent will be joining the lineup on the Friday, talking all things food and drink. And that’s not all – more pubs and chefs will be announced in the new year.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Pub in the Park without a jam-packed itinerary across the weekend. Kicking off with a bang on Friday, join the All Star Gala Charity Evening hosted by David and Georgia Tennant, once again supporting the charity Multibank UK. Incredible gourmet food and drink experiences will be available across all three days including Fire Pit Masterclasses, exclusive Q&A’s from the chefs, demonstrations in The Kitchen Studio and live recordings of Simon Rimmer’s Pod in the Park.
