Renowned MasterChef judge and Telegraph food critic William Sitwell will officially kick off Bampton’s festive season by turning on the town’s Christmas lights as part of its Countdown to Christmas celebrations. The event, on Friday, December 6th at 7 PM, will lead into the highly anticipated Bampton Festive Restaurant Festival, a sell-out evening of food and drink across the town.
Sitwell’s Christmas lights switch-on will mark the start of an unforgettable evening in this historic Devon town, where visitors and locals alike can enjoy a festive “food safari” across Bampton’s finest pubs, cafés, and restaurants.
Councillor Lucy Bull of Bampton Town Council says:
“We are delighted to be involved in Bampton’s first Rest Fest by William Sitwell. It’s a great way of celebrating the wealth of culinary talent that we enjoy in the town. Food lovers from far and wide have a real treat to look forward to, and we know they will all enjoy this food safari. Bampton is rightly proud of the fantastic hospitality on offer, and it’s wonderful that we can showcase it in this way.”
William Sitwell added:
'Bampton is a beautiful town with food and drink to satisfy the hungry gourmand. Hospitality is a cornerstone of culture and we must fight to preserve it. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the culinary delights of Bampton than a food safari and the Bampton Festive Rest Fest will prove to be one fabulously, delicious fight!’
The evening begins and ends at Corks and Cru, Bampton’s award-winning wine shop, and its neighbouring venue Ginger Peanut, which offers stylish accommodation in the heart of town. Guests will enjoy a specially crafted dish at each of six venues: Bridgehouse, Six on Castle, Spelt, The Old Bakery, The Swan and Corks and Cru.
The Bampton Festive Restaurant Festival, hosted and curated by Sitwell, celebrates the town’s outstanding food, drink, and community spirit. While tickets for the festival have already sold out, everyone is welcome to join the Christmas lights switch-on and soak up the festive cheer in Bampton’s historic streets.
