Following the success of last year’s fundraiser, SecondBite will once again take chefs out of their regular kitchen environment and see them create unique takes on streetfood dishes. With only 500 portions of each dish available on the day, diners will need to be quick to be in with a chance of securing their chosen dishes.
The event is free to enter and dish tokens (£10) can be purchased at www.secondbitefestival.com
As well as a stellar chef lineup and the drinks offering from Wylam Brewery, there will also be DJs and an online auction with amazing foodie experiences up for grabs.
All proceeds from SecondBite will be donated to Cancer Research UK to help support more than 4,000 researchers, clinicians and nurses to transform how they help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, bringing hope to millions of people now and in the future.
Sian Byerley, co-owner of Restaurant Pine, said: “We’ve got everything crossed that we’ll be able to beat last year’s fundraising total, and thanks to everyone’s generosity there are some mega auction prizes up for grabs. These include a two-night stay in the Lakes at Michelin-starred Forest Side, a Stay and Dine at Our Farm Experience with Simon Rogan’s team in Cartmel and dining experiences at Lyla in Edinburgh, Hide in London, and Alchemilla in Nottingham. Alongside that, we’ve just released the final tokens, so you’ll need to be quick off the mark if you haven’t already secured yours. This event is really important because we all know someone who has been impacted by this illness, so get bidding and get your tokens ordered if you haven’t already, and join us on July 6.”
