The team at the Devonshire Arms in Middle Handley are aiming to put a smile on costumers' faces with their own Comic Relief version of the 'Great British Menu' competition!


(l-r) Devonshire Arms' Head Chef Tom Lawson, Junior Chef Simon Maw and Sous Chef Craig Middleton are ready to battle for Red Nose Day honours

The award winning pub and restaurant's Head Chef Tom Lawson, Sous Chef Craig Middleton and Junior Chef Simon Maw will be competing against each other to create a series of dishes that will then be served at a special Red Nose Day dinner on March 15th.

Since last weekend and over the next two weekends before the BBC charity event, the chefs will create a series of starters, mains and desserts, with the best sellers going on to be served at the Red Nose Dinner.

To support the charity, 50p from the sale of every starter and dessert will go to Red Nose Day, along with £1 from every main course.

The cost of the March 15th dinner will be £35 per head, with £5 from every individual booking going direct to Red Nose Day.

The pub's suppliers have also come up with a series of special Red Nose Day prizes that will be auctioned and raffled throughout the evening.

"The whole kitchen team is extremely competitive and can't wait to get started on creating some knockout dishes," said Bar and Restaurant Manager Alistair Myers. "We know the menu we serve on March 15th will be the finest, because it will be based on the best vote of all, the number of sales we make in the run-up to the event!

"It's going to be a fabulous night, with all our produce, as ever, sourced locally, so I think we can safely say we'll be putting a smile on all out customers' faces!"
