The Main Stage is the heart of the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Food Festival—where celebrated chefs, food personalities, and culinary innovators take to the spotlight. Across two days, the stage will host a packed schedule of live cooking demonstrations, in-depth discussions, and insights from some of the biggest names in food.
For 2025, we’re thrilled to welcome Yotam Ottolenghi, making his festival debut with his signature approach to bold, flavour-driven dishes, and Andi Oliver, returning for her fourth appearance, bringing her infectious energy and deep love for Caribbean cuisine. They’ll be joined by Asma Khan, the trailblazing restaurateur behind Darjeeling Express, known for her expertise in Indian home cooking and powerful storytelling through food.
Expect to see these acclaimed chefs—and more to be announced—demonstrating their craft, sharing the inspiration behind their dishes, and offering an up-close look at the techniques that define their cooking. Whether you’re looking to refine your skills, discover new ingredients, or simply experience the joy of live culinary performance, the Main Stage is where it all comes together.
Join us at London’s Business Design Centre on 19–20 July 2025. Tickets are on sale now via See Tickets.
