"Unknown circumstances" as chef fails to arrive on Island
Foraging Vintners say an event which was due to take place tonight (Wed 13th) and over the next two evenings has had to be cancelled due to what they say are "unforeseen and unknown circumstances"
Chef Ben Spalding and his team were due to arrive on the Island this week to begin preparations and training for the ‘Ben Spalding Puzzle Project’ events that were being hosted at Foraging Vintners.
However, the chef hasn't appeared on the Island and organisers here have been unable to make contact with him.
Foraging Vintners say their main priority is to ensure guests who have purchased tickets to the events can get a refund - but as they were being hosted by ‘PuzzleProjects’ all ticket sales have been processed directly through them.
Refund enquiries should be directed to ben@benspalding.co.uk
The company says authorities have been informed of the situation - anyone with concerns can contact info@foragingvintners.com
