The 2023 MasterChef champion Chariya Khattiyot will join Alton comedy duo Luke Bateman and Elliott Williams for a night of fun conversation next month.

As well as the story of Chariya’s MasterChef journey, there will also be anecdotes, cooking tips, hypotheticals, food games and an audience question and answer session.

The event will take place at Birdies Coffee House and Bar in Folly Hill, Farnham, on August 21 at 7.30pm. For tickets, priced £15, visit birdiesfarnham.co.uk

From Alton coffee roaster to MasterChef winner, Chariya has had a meteoric rise to fame in the last year.

Her lovable, cheeky and genuine personality won the hearts of a nation and the stomachs of judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

Chariya recently opened a restaurant in Alton called Khao Soi, is working on her first cookbook, and has several television projects in development.

Luke and Elliott said: "Chariya has been a beloved friend of ours for a number of years now. To see her achieve such stunning success in recent years, from winning MasterChef UK to opening her own restaurant, has made us such proud pals.

“We have such a riotous laugh whenever we unite for a chat, as evidenced by her guest appearance on our Spotify podcast You Have Been Watching last year, that we thought we must do it again sometime.

“So here we are - join the three of us this August for a night under the stars, listening to a star, and having a big old cackle.”
