The line-up of chef demonstrators at this year’s Newport Food Festival has been announced today.

Last year’s event attracted 10,000 visitors.

All demonstrations at the Admiral-sponsored event are free at Newport Indoor Market on October 3.

The line-up includes Hywel Jones, executive chef for The Park Michelin-starred Lucknam Park Hotel and Spa restaurant and The Brasserie, who has been the festival’s patron.

Jones started his career with David Nichols at The Royal Garden and then moved on to work as chef de partie in two Michelin 3-star establishments; Chez Nico at 90 and Marco Pierre White. He furthered his skills as junior sous chef at Michelin starred Le Souffle. He earned his first Michelin Star at Foliage restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park where he was head chef for five years. He was also executive Chef at Pharmacy Restaurant in Notting Hill.
