London Restaurant Festival launches Golden Gastronomy competition

13th September 2010, 9:40am

As part of the London Restaurant Festival (4-18 October 2010), Green and Black's, the official chocolate provider to the Festival, will be hiding five Golden Gastronomy Tickets in restaurants across the capital.

Diners eating in one of the several hundred participating restaurants during the festival will have the chance to win free dining for two, in the capital, every month for a year.

Anyone who orders a festival menu will receive a complimentary Green & Blacks chocolate bar with their bill. Inside five there will be the Golden Gastronomy Ticket.

The London Restaurant Festival 2010 Golden Gastronomy Ticket Hunt will run across the first week of the festival (4 - 8th October).

Festival director Simon Davis said: "This is a real coup for The London Restaurant Festival and really exciting. Find one of the tickets and you will be eating out at London's best restaurants for nothing for a year. Not only does the festival now give you the opportunity to try hundreds of delicious festival menus at great prices, now it brings you one of the most exciting, and fun, restaurant competitions London has ever seen."

The five Golden Gastronomy Ticket winners will also all be entered for the grand prize which will be the 'Ultimate Foodie Weekend' starting at The Blueprint Café in London and finishing on the Isle of Skye in Scotland at the award-winning Three Chimney's Restaurant.

To celebrate the announcement, Londoners are invited to Trafalgar Square (Friday 10th September from 10am) to begin their own hunt for a Golden Gastronomy Ticket. Green & Black's has created a piece of edible artwork; a giant Golden Gastronomy ticket two metres tall by five metres wide made up of over 1,500 chocolate bars. 

One of the bars contains the first Golden Gastronomy Ticket and anyone who goes along on Friday is in with a chance of winning it.

Gemma Barton from Green & Black's added: "We're delighted to be supporting the London Restaurant Festival 2010. At Green & Black's it's always been about creating the very best taste experiences and that's exactly the same thinking behind the London Restaurant Festival. 

"We hope that Londoners and visitors to the Capital will enjoy having a small taster of our chocolate bars at the end of their Festival menus."
