Gelf Anderson Gelf Alderson was instilled with a passion for food from a very early age as his mum was a fantastic cook. One of his earliest memories is ruining some of her more delicate doughs and pastries! Now he is at River Cottage HQ running the busy kitchens and cookery schools down on the farm and loving every minute.


Susy Atkins Susy began her career as a wine writer in the early 1990’s at Wine magazine. She became co-editor of the Which? Wine Guide in 1997 and has since worked on seven editions of the guide. Susy now writes a weekly column for the Sunday Telegraph, Stella magazine and is drinks editor of Delicious magazine.


Serin Aubrey Serin started his time in Dartmouth opening the Anzac Street Bistro a much loved and successful bistro in the centre of Dartmouth but after 11 successful years Serin decided to have a change and set about a new business with old friend Simon Entwistle and Dartmouth Fine Foods was born.


Adam Banks Adam took up the post of Head Chef at Fifteen Cornwall in April 2017. He worked with them previously as a Senior Sous chef for five years before leaving to follow his love of food in Australia.


On Sunday morning the kitchen will be hosting Kitchen Confidential - a Q&A session chaired by Dan Saladino with a talented panel of top chefs including Mitch Tonks, Angela Hartnett, Matt Tebbutt, Mark Hix and Romy Gill. This is a ticketed event: www.dartmouthfoodfestival.com/events
