SOME of Devon's best-known chefs are serving up The Very Best of Devon on a Plate at the county show today, tomorrow and Saturday.

Peter Gorton from The Horn of Plenty, Tavistock and the Carved Angel in Dartmouth and Taunton, and Paul De-Costa-Grieves of The Galley Restaurant, Topsham are joining Sainsbury's chefs to put on demonstrations using local ingredients.

Devon County Show secretary Ollie Allen said: 'We are focusing on the high quality and standard of British food, particularly from Devon.

'Visitors will be able to taste some of the best food produced in the South West and pick up top cooking tips from some great chefs.'

There will be plenty of tasty nibbles to sample thanks to a packed programme of cookery demonstrations taking place in two venues this year — Keep Devon Farming and the Food and Drink Exhibition.
