A Macclesfield chef who appeared on national TV in Gordon Ramsay's recent BBC cooking competition will soon be coming to Leek with a new pop-up.

Jamie Savage (36), who runs Savages Mussels in the Macclesfield Picturedrome, was a contestant on the recent BBC One show Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars.

The ex-Navy chef founded his seafood business in 2018, and was one of the first vendors to open in The Picturedrome in 2019.

Before this, he was also a regular at Macclesfield's Treacle Market, and had a two-year residency at Altrincham Market.

Now Jamie is coming to the Den Engel bar on Stanley Street in Leek for a pop-up on two upcoming weekend dates.

He said: "It's been a while but in just over a week I'm doing a pop-up at the Den Engel Belgian Bar in Leek!

"What more do you want on a Saturday night than mussels and Belgian beer?

"We will be there on 20th & 27th August from 5pm. Can't wait to see you Leek!"

Jamie serves creative dishes with mussels and fish, including popcorn mussels and a mussel burger.

Similar to BBC One's The Apprentice but with food, Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars had contestants vying to win a £150,000 investment from Gordon.

The series was first broadcast in March but can still be watched on demand on BBC iPlayer.
