A VENUE set within Chester Racecourse is helping to change the food scene in the North West by partnering with chefs from all over the UK for exclusive ‘pop-up’ events. 

As acclaimed chef, Harry Guy, gets set to undertake his second ‘pop-up’ event in October at Chester Racecourse, the luxurious trackside venue, PARADE, is fast becoming a go-to destination for some of the UK’s finest food talent.

PARADE has welcomed a host of notable chefs including Michelin star winning Aiden Byrne.

Born out of a desire to create a luxurious dining experience for race goers, PARADE takes guests on an experience like no other.

Testing the waters over the last few years, the team at Chester Racecourse has acknowledged a notable demand for a venue that can offer ‘foodies’ access to a broad range of culinary experiences - and likewise - chef’s a platform to showcase their skills through a series of ‘pop-up’ events throughout the year.

The latest name to grace the venue is award-winning chef, Harry Guy, who is set to open the doors to his much-anticipated Chester restaurant, X by Harry Guy, as part of the Wildes Chester boutique hotel, in 2023.

Harry has worked in some of the most celebrated kitchens in the world; L’Enclume, Roganic, Aulis, Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill, Le Carré Gourmand and Mallory Court Hotel, to name a few. Now coming to Chester, his first solo project ‘X by Harry Guy’ is destined to shake up the Northwest dining scene.

Rupert Worden, head of catering for Chester Racecourse, said: “We’ve welcomed some of the UK’s best chefs to PARADE and Harry is no exception. The response to the first evening was incredible and as such, we have already sold a great number of places for the October evening.

“Guests can expect a dining experience like no other, starting with Champagne and snacks followed by a series of dishes perfectly paired with an exceptional wine flight as Chef Harry Guy takes diners on an evening to remember.”

The second pop-up event will take place on October 21, 2022, at 6:30pm. Tickets are available from £195pp which includes a totally unique six course tasting menu and snacks, complete with champagne on arrival.

There will also be a third event taking place on December 2, 2022.
