Celebrity chef Rick Stein is the guest of honour at a Prince's Trust fundraising event next month.

The champagne, canapes and networking evening on Wednesday, September 23, at Bordeaux Quay, is part of a series of exclusive events being held by The Prince's Trust South West Leadership Group.

The evening is being sponsored by Bordeaux Quay and will be hosted by Mr Stein, celebrity chef and Prince's Trust supporter.

As well as a talk from Rick Stein, guests will hear from one of the young people the group has helped set up in business – Lorna Knapman, founder of the Love Food Festival.

Rick Stein has not only cooked for Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street and for the Queen and Prince Philip to celebrate the Golden Jubilee, he also has a long list of TV series under his belt.

In addition to this he owns four restaurants, a delicatessen, a patisserie, a seafood cookery school and 40 guest bedrooms in the small fishing port of Padstow on the north coast of Cornwall, which he has developed over the past 33 years.
