Taking place in Dunorlan Park the festival runs over the weekend and features dishes from some of Mr Kerridge's foodie friends. Live music and cooking demonstrations complete the bill.

Speaking to KentOnline earlier today, Mr Kerridge said he and his team were having an amazing weekend, adding: "People have made us feel so welcome and and all of the guys local to here have helped us settle in."

Mr Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before deciding to set out on his own, and take over a run-down pub in the quiet town of Marlow. He opened The Hand and Flowers with his wife Beth in 2005, and it went on to become the first pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars.

In 2014 he opened his second pub and has a pop-up restaurant in Harrods.

He also hosts his own BBC series.
