The team at Chester Racecourse and Chef Harry Guy, who is set to open the doors to his much-anticipated Chester restaurant, X by Harry Guy, in Spring 2023, announce the release of the next pop-up date at PARADE on 2nd December 2022.

Earlier this month, the coveted Roux scholarship award-winning chef, Harry Guy, hosted the first in a series of pop-up events at luxury trackside venue, PARADE, set within Chester Racecourse. The exclusive event allowed eager guests to be the first to sample Harry’s captivating dining experience ahead of the launch of his namesake restaurant in 2023.

As he gets set to open the doors to his own restaurant, X by Harry Guy, he was invited by the Chester Racecourse team to host a series of pops ups over the coming months, with the first reported to be so impressive that many diners were immediately snapping up a place at the next tasting menu event.

Guests will be taken on a gastronomic journey as they sample an array of dishes. The six-course dinner includes the likes of Jerusalem artichoke, Burford Brown yolk and lardo, Monkfish served with yeast, leek and turnip and Salt aged duck with beetroot and damson duck confit and creamed potato.
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 change the face of dining in the Northwest.

Over the past 12 months, Harry has been touring the Northwest and beyond in search of the best local and seasonal ingredients, born out of a passionate selection of growers that are at the top of their game.

Rupert Worden, Head of Catering for Chester Racecourse, comments: “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 to entice the senses, perfectly paired with an exceptional drinks flight as Chef Harry Guy takes diners on a gastronomic journey course by course.”

The second pop-up event will take place on 2nd December 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.
