FIERY TV chef Marco Pierre White is set to dine with Chester residents and inspire grass-roots talent with an official visit to the city this month.

Marco will be formally visiting his Chester restaurant at the DoubleTree by Hilton on Thursday, September 22 to meet and dine with guests and also make time for local catering students.

Members of the public are invited to either a three-course lunch or dinner service with the famous chef himself at the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill, Chester.

Diners on the day will experience menus specially created for the event and be able to indulge in Marco’s affordable glamour concept.

Ten catering students from West Cheshire College have also been invited to the DoubleTree for an interactive questions and answers session with Marco.

The students will be able to meet and greet Marco personally and gain an exclusive insight into the catering and restaurant industry from the Godfather of modern cooking himself.

Students will then be presented with signed copies of Marco’s latest cook book ‘Marco Made Easy’ and get to sample the menu during a sitting in the restaurant’s private dining room.

Clare Bebb, sales and marketing manger at DoubleTree by Hilton Chester said: “We are all looking forward to welcoming Marco back to Chester. There is always such a buzz in the restaurant during his visits.

“The event allows Marco to personally meet the residents of Chester and also catch up with the kitchen and front of house team that have made the restaurant a success.

“The added activity with West Cheshire College is a great way to inspire students in the area. Marco has always had a passion for inspiring young chefs and strongly believes in supporting and investing time in local talent.”

Marco is also set to visit the new West Cheshire College Creative and Service Industry campus in Ellesmere Port on Friday, September 23 where he will officially open the college restaurant, The Dining Room.
