Philippa moved from Dorset to London at 18 and worked at the Michelin starred The River Café and Moro restaurants before setting up and running her award-winning café, Mudchute Kitchen, on London’s largest city farm. For the last 12 years she has worked internationally as a private chef cooking across the world for a wide variety of high-profile clients and events. Finding and championing incredible local food is as the heart of all her cooking so she is thrilled to be returning to this year’s festival to whip up a feast with our fabulous local produce.

In addition to her TV work, Philippa has a monthly cookery column in The Field Magazine and writes for BBCFood, The Deepest Book series and House & Garden. She is also a judge for the Great Taste awards.
