Hungry for inspiration? Book tickets now for an audience with local superstar chef Anna Hedworth.
If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the doors of a restaurant kitchen, Alnwick Story Fest invites you to experience the highs, lows, and magic of the culinary world with celebrated NE chef and author Anna Hedworth. Join us for an intimate exploration of her new book Service, a beautifully written deep dive into the daily rhythms of restaurant life in North East England.
More than just a cookbook, Service blends seasonal, simple recipes—like Spiced Pancakes with Poached Rhubarb or Braised Squid in Red Wine with Fennel—with an honest, heartfelt reflection on the controlled chaos, camaraderie, and passion that fuel a thriving restaurant.
