VEG OUT! TOP CHEF CALLS ON YORKSHIRE ALLOTMENTEERS TO GIVEOVER THEIR GREENS FOR HARVEST FESTIVAL ALLOTMENT PARTY



Chef Tim Bilton of The Spiced Pear Hepworth has teamed up with the National Allotment Society, and is asking Yorkshire’s veg growers to donate their homegrown roots and shoots this month – so he can cook up a community feast for Harvest Festival on September 8th.

The Spiced Pear has teamed up with National Allotment Society to host the party in their 4 acre kitchen garden and restaurant, which will centre on a fabulous feast cooked up by Tim for all the contributing gardeners and locals.

The Yorkshire chef will create a feast made from fruit and veg grown on all 100 Kirklees sites – that’s over 1000 allotment plots in total!

Tim’s grow-your-own ethos was inspired by his training under Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons and since opening The Spiced Pear a year ago, his smallholding and garden has been his top priority.

“Local produce and growing-your-own has always been a personal passion of mine and I have loved working on my plot at The Spiced Pear,’ says Tim. ‘I want to celebrate and promote the joys of growing your own and spread the allotment agenda! So, whether you want to show off your ravishing radishes, beautiful broad beans or stunning celeriac – we’d be delighted if you got involved and came to our party.’

Di Appleyard from NAS, said “We are very excited to have teamed up with Tim to emphasise the satisfaction of growing and eating your own tasty produce and promote the National Allotments Society; raising awareness of the social, cultural and health benefits that allotments provide helps the Society to get our message over to policy makers and government at all levels and protect sites for future generations to enjoy.”

If you’d like to donate your veg, get in touch with Tim at 01484 683 775 or drop it off at The Spiced Pear, Hepworth.
