awareness and raise money. Our first event is a Pop Up Restaurant.
Between the 9-11 June 2015, the
CASE Centre of Excellence will open
its doors to the general public for the
first time. A pop up restaurant will be
created for 3 nights for a completely
new dining experience.
Using Local produce that has been
meticulously selected Nigel Brown,
owner of the Nigel Brown Cookery
Academy in Barton upon Humber will
produce 3 adventurous menus with
the help of the experienced catering
team of trainees at CASE to create
an intimate dining experience for 40
guests, accompanied by live background music.
Nigel has regularly appeared on BBC
Radio Humberside’s morning show
giving hints, tips and recipe advice.
In 2010 Nigel appeared live in Hull
with James Martin at the Hull Truck
Theatre together they performed
three outstanding shows during the
course of the day to an audience of
over 1000 people. Nigel went on to
appear together with fellow chef and
friend Jean Christophe Novelli, at
the Hull Truck Theatre in 2011 for a
further three fantastic shows.
Nigel
Said
“I’m
