EXCITED: Jamie Oliver

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has said he is ‘really excited’ to team up with Brighton’s festive ice rink this winter.

The restaurateur will be creating the menu at Brighton Royal Pavilion Ice Rink which will be opening in November.

Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts will operate the ‘pop-up’ restaurant and bar at the iconic venue over Christmas and New Year.

He said: “I’m really excited to be teaming up with Brighton Royal Pavilion Ice Rink to add some festive flavour.

“Fabulous Feasts will be serving up a whole range of gorgeous festive drinks and dishes made from great-quality British produce.

“With the incredible Royal Pavilion as the venue, it’s going to be a beautiful place to celebrate Christmas and get together with friends and family.

“Make sure you come and see us and get involved in all the festivities.”

The Fabulous Feasts catering concept is a partnership between the TV chef and fresh food expert Nigel Harris which delivers menus at events and outdoor locations.

The ice rink will be open to the public from November 10 to January 20. The 800 square metre rink has space for 250 skaters per session.

Groups of ten or more will get a 15% discount on ice skating tickets if they book before September 20.

They can also book festive hampers to have a sit down feast. The hampers are only available to groups of ten or more and need to be booked in advance.

Shella Parkin, managing director of Laine Ltd, which manages the ice rink, said: “We are thrilled to have Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts team on board and aim to offer the best skating and food experience yet at the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink.”
