Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge is set to bring his signature smoky flavors to Bath as part of this year’s Bath Restaurant Week, sharing expert tips on outdoor cooking in a special live appearance.
The Michelin-starred chef will take center stage at St Swithin’s Church in Walcot on Thursday, May 8 at 7pm, where he will showcase recipes from his latest release, “The BBQ Book.” The event, hosted by Bath Festivals, promises to be a highlight for food enthusiasts keen to master the grill this summer.
Tickets for the evening cost £30 and include a copy of the book, which features 80 recipes designed for fire and coals, from harissa mayonnaise-laced prawns to sticky glazed chipolatas. Standard tickets without the book are also available for £14.

In the book, Tom offers insight into cooking techniques that deliver flavor and texture without fuss, including how to grill fish without it breaking up and how to bring smoky depth to vegetables such as aubergines and potatoes.
The event is part of the inaugural Bath Restaurant Week, which runs from May 3 to 11. Backed by Bath BID, the initiative sees eateries across the city offering discounts and special menus to encourage diners to explore the local food scene.
