Event information

The UK 'Chilli Stand Off' for The Oakheart Trophy

The UK's first 'Chilli Stand Off' is on Saturday 22 October at The Tramshed in Shoreditch. We've invited eight great chefs and restaurants to challenge for The Oakheart Trophy and be declared the 'UK's Chilli Champion'.

The competitors include Chilango, Leon, The Fat Duck, Lucky Chip, Gizzi Erskine, All Star Lanes, Dock Kitchen and Carl Clarke of Disco Bistro. All of the Chillies will be tasted blind and everyone attending gets to vote for their favourite.

Bartenders from Milk & Honey and Danger of Death will provide the drinks from their festival bar. There will be free rum and lots of it including the brand new spicy Bacardi Oakheart and a giant barrel of Oakheart Grog.

The bar will be open from noon until 10pm and the Chilli tasting will take place between 1-4pm with the winner announced by 6pm. After party nearby.

In the evening we've got fantastic street food from some of London's hottest operators including pillow-soft, pork-filled steamed buns from Lisa at Yum Bun, the 'best ribs in London' and hot sauce from Mark The Rib Man, spicy fish tacos from Simon at Luardos and spectacular meatballs and linguine from Jez at The Bowler.

The ticket price includes three free drinks and we'll be running a pay bar after that with the usual reduced Tweat Up prices. Follow us on Twitter @Tweat_Up.
