Celebrity chef Bryn Williams to cook at the inaugural GWCT Welsh Game Fair
Being a passionate advocate for sustainable, field-to-fork fare, he’s the perfect chef partner for the first GWCT Welsh Game Fair to held at Vaynol Estate, near Bangor from September 9-11. He will be running a VIP Enclosure Restaurant, aptly named The White Park Restaurant after the famous Vaynol Cattle and taking part in live cooking demonstrations over the weekend.
Famous Welsh brand Clogau Gold will sponsor the VIP enclosure and White Park Restaurant, which will see Bryn creating a bespoke breakfast and lunch menu for VIP ticket holders and tranquil areas for people to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the show.
The GWCT Welsh Game Fair is set to be an exciting celebration of the Welsh countryside, featuring fishing, clay shooting, gundogs, game cookery, falconry, horses and hounds, as well as rural crafts, food and drink.
He said: “Coming from farming stock, I grew up with shooting and I use a lot of the delicious and sustainable game that my dad and his friends shoot in North Wales. It gets shipped to London and I cook it in my restaurant. When we have a shipment arriving, we phone a few of our customers and the tables sell out even before I have prepared the game. I am always looking for new suppliers.
“I love cooking the different types of game during the winter; it’s beautiful. In this day and age, when people are talking about carbon footprints, sustainability and land use, I think game ticks every single box. It’s a sustainable, local source of food from great land where farmers do an amazing job. What more could you want? Quality game goes hand in hand with great land, hedgerows, woodland and rivers.”
