BATTLE OF THE CHEFS EVENING AT THE BELLE EPOQUE (Belle Epoque )

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Message by Belle Epoque (Knutsford Cheshire ) on 29/10/2008
Celebrating the Knutsfood Food Festival, two of the North West�s most enduring chefs recreated one of their earliest TV battles. Simon Rimmer and David Mooney first met in the Granada studios, over 10 years ago They enjoyed many culinary challenges � some great, some not so! (David remembers his stir fried liquorice allsort dessert with great shame!) As Belle Epoque has hosted many stylish functions over the years, the 100 guests were obviously very well catered for, but the pressure was intense behind the kitchen door. Both chefs used the fabulous ingredients that Belle Epoque has become renowned for, but putting their respective twists to each dish. On the pass�, the light-hearted banter soon stopped as the orders started flowing. Both chefs baring their competitive streaks. Wonderful to see over 100 people devouring Andy Holt�s Black Pudding, Free Range Guineafowl and Peover Apple Tart. Guests on the night were voting without knowing which chef�s food they had ordered. For the winner? Bragging rights � until the return at Simon�s Earle Restaurant early next year. Plates cleared, votes counted and the accouncement made ��Win by a short head for Mr Rimmer. Revenge will be taken at Earle in January. For more information call Julie McDonnell on 01565 633060 or email info@thebelleepoque.com.

Hello from Teresa & Paul at the Derby Arms, Inskip (Derby Arms)

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Message by Derby Arms (Nr Kirkham, Preston, Lancashire) on 28/10/2008
Hi, were Teresa and Paul Brown. Weve recently taken over The Derby Arms in Inskip. We have one simple goal in mind when thinking of The Derby Arms and that is to make it a friendly, welcoming environment that serves excellent food and drink. Our food is sourced locally, where possible, and is always cooked fresh to order. Our meals are prepared in-house by our chef, right down to the fishcakes and chicken goujons on our childrens menu. All our guests are made welcome including our younger guests who can play on the HMS Derby boat, surrounded by a grassy area, supervised by their parents from the safety of dry land! History of The Derby Arms: There has been a pub in Inskip for at least 200 years. Originally the pub was called The Cavendish Arms. When Lord Derby bought the estate in 1845 from Lord Cavendish, the pub changed its name to The Derby Arms. The pub was also a farm of approximately 50 acres. Each year all the tenant farmers came to the pub to pay the rent to the Lord Derbys estate manager. The Derby Arms was a famous landmark in the Fylde between 1960 and 1980. It had an open top Alvis sports car situated on the roof and the sign outside the building read, "This is the worlds famous Motoring Inn". Standing next to the entrance was a wheel and tyre from an earthmover. The inside of the pub was full of motoring memorabilia; the beer pumps were miniature petrol pumps, the carpet specially woven with various types of cars and the walls were filled with registration plates from all over the world. In 2005 the pub was bought by Punch Taverns and completely renovated.
