The Lightning Seeds will perform at this year’s Liverpool Food and Drink Festival.
Alongside celebrity chef Gizzi Erskine, the city’s iconic band are set to delight guests at an Asian-style banquet to mark the festival’s tenth anniversary year.
Just 200 guests will be able to sample the ‘Beauty and the Feast’ event on Friday, September 15 at a boho themed pop-up marquee in Sefton Park.
Gizzi’s Asian inspired banquet features four starters including roasted duck and watermelon salad, and ‘bang bang’ chicken with vegetable noodles.
A main course of either lamb spit roast in bao buns or crispy confit aubergine with miso and satay in bao buns will be followed by baked Vietnamese coffee, caramel and popcorn cheesecake.
Gizzi said: “I really fell in love with the city last time I came to Liverpool Food and Drink Festival and I am so excited about coming back to cook up a feast for this special anniversary party.
“The menu has been inspired by Asian style feasting. It really is going to be sensational, a celebration like no other.”
Isabella Kantor, Festival Manager at Liverpool Food and Drink Festival, added: “We are super excited to have both Gizzi and Lightning Seeds as special guests at our 10th anniversary party.
“Gizzi’s reputation for throwing spectacular banquet parties combined with an intimate performance by Lightning Seeds, who have played an important role in the city’s music scene, will make the evening pretty special.
“We are in for a magical treat that will fuse mouth watering food with great music. ”
