Escape To Freight Island will be hosting its annual food festival Kantina next month, featuring a host of world class chefs and drinks-makers turning up to show off their skills. Among them will be Tom Brown, from the celebrated fish restaurant Cornerstone in London, Hawksmoor and Pitt Cue chef Richard Turner, and Manchester’s own Pippa Middlehurst, aka Pippy Eats.
The event happens over the weekend of June 10 to 12, and will also boast live music, DJs and other attractions. Many of the operators already installed in the sprawling beer garden and foodhall will also be collaborating with other top chefs and restaurants.
Cornerstone’s Tom Brown will be teaming up with Brad Carter’s One Star Doner Bar, Pippa Middlehurst will be cooking with Northenden heroes Mi & Pho, and taco makers Madre will be hooking up with AngloThai to create some new custom menu items.
