MASTERCHEF UK POP-UP RESTAURANT: Experience a Taste of Yorkshire at The Hepworth Wakefield

A Wakefield MasterChef finalist is serving up a “Taste of Yorkshire” at an exclusive pop-up restaurant event. 
​
Executive Chef at The Hepworth Wakefield and MasterChef finalist Chris Hale has designed a one-off seasonal tasting menu, with carefully paired wines for each of the five courses which he will showcase at The Hepworth Wakefield. 
Mr Hale, who lives in Wakefield City Centre, took over The Hepworth Café which is based inside The Hepworth gallery, 18 months ago after appearing on the popular BBC cooking contest and setting up his own successful event catering company Pop Up North. 
He said: “After appearing on MasterChef I trained with chefs around the globe before setting up my own event catering and private dining company. 
“Then the opportunity at The Hepworth came along and it was too good to miss. The Hepworth is iconic internationally and has put Wakefield on the map. So I want to put Wakefield and Yorkshire suppliers on the map too. 
“We have some of the best produce globally and we need to shout about it and try to shop local where possible. 
“I am proud to be using the best seasonal produce Yorkshire has to offer for this unique fine dining experience.
“I can’t wait to showcase my food art inside such an atmospheric and relaxed setting.” 
The event is part of the Wakefield’s Rhubarb Festival of food and drink. 
Taste of Yorkshire, The Pop-Up Restaurant takes place on Saturday 23rd February at 7pm at The Hepworth Wakefield.
