The BBC’s annual Good Food Show returns to London this weekend, running all-day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Olympia.

The foodie fest is serving up a feast of big-name chefs, demos and food stalls from top producers.

This year’s lineup includes: Great British Bake Off’s Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, Saturday Kitchen’s James Martin, chefs Tom Kerridge and Michel Roux Jr, and wine expert Oz Clarke among many others.

Top traders from the worlds of cheese, chutney, charcuterie, coffee, cookware, craft beer and cocktails will be in attendance and inviting visitors to try their wares, as will those offering foodstuffs and kitchen gadgets that don’t begin with the letter c.

There’ll be book signings with authors including Mary Berry; wintery kitchen demos from names such as Café Spice Namaste’s Cyrus Todiwala and Salt Yard’s Ben Tish; and interviews with a broad range of big-name foodies.

If you fancy filling up on more than just tasters, there will be three pop-up restaurants on site (including one from Thai restaurant Blue Elephant) plus a street food area, while a ‘craft beer corner’ will cater for the thirsty.

On-the-door tickets cost £28.50 on Friday and Sunday, and £29.50 on Saturday, with concessions available. Kids cost £16.50 on Saturday and just £3 on Sunday, while under 5s are free.

The show runs at Olympia from 9.30am each day until 6pm on Friday and Sunday and 7pm on Saturday.
