Chilli Cook-Off

Come along to The Hopbine's first ever chilli cook-off, happening on Sunday 26 May from 6pm onwards. There are two ways to participate:

1. Compete

If you think you can cook a mean chilli con-carne, here’s your chance to prove it.

Enter your prize-winning original chilli recipe for our judges to sample. Here are the rules:

• Contestants must arrive promptly at 5.45pm, with a minimum of 2 litres of cooked chilli.

• It must be delivered in a hot and sealed container.

• The chilli con-carne must be beef.

The winning recipes will be determined by the chilli with the most votes from our judges. The judges will award a prize for the tastiest chilli. There will also be a people's choice prize, so grab all of your friends and tell them to meet you at The Hopbine to taste and vote for your award winning recipe!

Contestants must pre-register in order to enter the contest.

2. Consume

Enjoy a delicious meal of chilli con-carne! Once the judges have assessed all the chillis, everyone who attends can enjoy a bowl of chilli. We will supply nachos, rice, toppings bar and condiments. It is £6 per person to enjoy delicious chillis made by our contestants and all proceeds will go to Prostate Cancer UK.

Attendees are also encouraged to take part in the People's Choice award. You will be given a sample of each chilli and then asked to vote for the best.

So come out, and enjoy a fun evening!
