2019 Central Counties Regional Meet

The Regional Meet 2019 was held at Southam Rugby Club and hosted by Coventry DA.

Although a very wet week leading to the site opening the ground stood firm. The weekend bought a lot more rain but it didn’t damper the campers that attended.

After the success and fun of 2018’s Cook-Off at NFOL, the Club is launching Club Campsite Cook of the Year 2019 – in association with CADAC, the Club’s Eat Local sponsor – and want you to take part.

All regions and sections have been invited to hold heats in order to find their best campsite cooks to enter into the Club-wide competition.

To find our most enthusiastic, talented and keen campsite cooks, Central Counties will be holding our own heat at Central Counties Regional Meet Hosted by Coventry DA at Southam Rugby Club Southam CV47 2DG 13th – 16th June 2019. The winner of our regional event will win a Cadac Grillo Chef.

In August 2019, all region/section winners’ recipes will be judged by theEat Local team at HQ, and eight winners invited to take part in the exciting cook-off final at the Cadac stand, NFOL on Saturday 21September 2019. The overall winner will be presented with a Club Cook of the Year Trophy and a City Chef 50. The winning recipe will also be published in the Eat Local pages of the magazine. There are fantastic runner-up prizes too.

So, how do you get involved?

The essence of the competition is to demonstrate skill and creativity in producing a simple campsite meal beyond burgers and sausages.

We are asking entrants to send us their recipe for one main course meal. This meal must be a camping-friendly recipe, one that is possible to prepare and cook at your pitch on a bbq grill or gas stove. (No ovens, microwaves or electric appliances allowed)

The actual cooking time (not including prep) must be 30 minutes or under.

The recipes will be judged on suitability for campsite cooking, creativity,

and in particular the judges will be looking for a meal that embraces the spirit of our Eat Local campaign, whether it’s using a fresh local, seasonal ingredient, incorporates a regional cheese, beer or fruit or perhaps just taking inspiration from a regional dish or flavour.

From easy but tasty one pan suppers, exciting salads, vegetarian feast a fabulous fish dish, great grilled meats to pasta with a twist… anything goes, we are looking to be inspired!

Entrants are asked to submit details of their proposed meal via e-mail 21st May 2019
