Canapé Competition

Winchester’s chefs are battling it out, and you get to pick the winner.

During A Taste of Winchester, some of our best restaurants and cafés are taking on a delicious challenge: to create the ultimate locally grown tomato Canapé.

We’re inviting chefs across the city to design a signature canapé built around the incredible flavour of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Tomatoes, one of the UK’s most celebrated ingredients, Great Taste award-winning and grown in the sunniest microclimate in the country.

Each participating restaurant will offer its creation on the menu during A Taste of Winchester, 22 June-5 July, priced at £5–£7, a perfect excuse to nibble your way around the city. And then the best bit: the public vote. You decide which canapé deserves the crown.

The winning chef will be revealed at the conclusion of our foodie fortnight.

Are you a chef or restaurateur? 
We’d love you to enter. Participating venues receive free promotion across the A Taste of Winchester website and social media, an exclusive discount to order Isle of Wight Tomatoes directly, and an invitation to showcase your creation at our launch event on 16 June at Bar Lento. Contact miranda@mirandarocketlaunch-co-uk to take part.
