DINERS will have the chance to meet celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall at his Winchester eatery next week.

The TV star is hosting a lunch on Wednesday to promote his new book and River Cottage Canteen's new autumn menu.

Food lovers can hear more about the restaurant chain's food waste scheme and Hugh's own recycling recipes, published in River Cottage: Love Your Leftovers.

The chef will sign copies of the book and discuss his upcoming BBC series on waste.

Tickets cost £30 per person and include a two-course lunch, welcome drink and coffee.

Guests are asked to arrive at noon. For more information visit rivercottage.net/canteens/winchester.
