A FORMER Masterchef contestant will be bringing his pop-up restaurant to Maldon this week.

Charlie Stocker, who was a quarter finalist on the BBC One cooking show when he was only 20-years-old, will be bringing a Mexican night to The Limes Guesthouse in Market Hill on Saturday.

Mr Stocker, now 26, will bring his own unique style and flavours to the table in one of many planned pop-up events for the town.

The menu for this event includes Paloma cocktails, British trout, tacos, chocolate and chilli brownie plus more.

Mr Stocker said: “I’ve always liked Maldon for its community and the many independent businesses it has, I’m looking forward to sharing my recipes with people.”

Pop up events are also taking place in July and August. See https://bit.ly/2xpO9oW.
