Charity kitchen challenge promises to be ?hellova' night

Two of the region’s familiar faces are dusting off their chef’s hats and preparing to compete in ‘Hellova Kitchen’ in support of a local charity.

Andrew Dixon, chief executive of NewcastleGateshead Initiative, and former Tyne Tees reporter, Andrew Friend, are going head-to-head as they battle it out to be voted king of the kitchen at an event to raise funds for The Children’s Foundation.

Students from host venue TyneMet College are lending a helping hand to the chefs, working with them to create mouth-watering menus as they attempt to win diners’ votes and earn the ’Hellova Kitchen“ title.

Trustees of the Children’s Foundation will also be taking part at the event on Wednesday 10 June, adopting the role as front of house staff, waiting on tables in a bid to win the most tips for the charity. The evening will be compèred by Real Radio presenter Lisa Shaw, who will be interviewing the two Andrews as they cook, adding some extra pressure.

Caroline O’Doherty, operations director at The Children’ Foundation, said: “This is set to be a fantastic event and we’re encouraging people who want to come along to book their places as soon as possible. We wish our two chefs the best of luck and hope they enjoy their challenge.”
