Prizes include a masterclass with the chef at the acclaimed Stagg Inn at Titley and a hamper bursting with local delicacies. The Stagg has always used the f local produce of this region including trout, soft fruits, vegetables, beef and of course game. It can tailor the day in the kitchen to suit the winner, but is bound to involve learning a few tricks of the trade.
