Obsession Festival 25

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of culinary excellence 2001 - 2025.

Obsession is Northcote’s annual homage to the finest food and wine, established in 2001 as one of Europe's premier gastronomic events with guest chefs travelling in from all over the world.

It is truly unique, a gastronomic pilgrimage, led by Lisa Goodwin-Allen, this culinary showcase brings together luminaries from around the world to create unforgettable dining experiences.

Each chef takes over the Northcote kitchen for the night and challenges themselves to produce a unique Obsession menu for the evening's guests in a food festival that is a showcase for great chefs, a celebration of great food and wine, and a meeting of friends.

Fondly known as the Glastonbury of Gastronomy, you may expect an event of this profile to be in London or a major city, so Northcote are proud to host such an event in Lancashire.  Over 17 days, the restaurant will serve close to a monumental 10,000 perfectly presented and crafted plates of food, created by incredible and innovative chefs and legends of the industry, a showcase of the latest cuisine trends.  Only with the full commitment of everyone at Northcote can such a feat be repeated night after night, but this is what Obsession is, an annual fine dining festival, that has become everyone’s obsession.
