We are excited to reveal that as part of the Donaghadee Summer Festival and the Celebration of Ulster Scots Heritage, the first ever Ulster Fry World Championships will be held on Saturday 19th August at the festival!

Entries will be accepted from all nine counties in Ulster, as well as an additional entry from Belfast, and are welcome from chefs in cafes, restaurants, hotels, and B&Bs across the province. Entries will be judged by our expert panel, and finalists invited to cook their Ulster Fry live in front of an audience.. The winner will receive their trophy to proudly display in their establishment, and boast to those far and wide that you are the Ulster Fry World Champion!

To make things fair, we have decided that only five ingredients will be included in the fry (no fancy avocados or French toast here!). Your entry must only consist of sausage, bacon, egg, soda bread, and potato bread. If successful, during the final in Donaghadee your fry will be judged on three elements: taste, appearance, and use of local produce. This also provides the perfect opportunity to help support and promote your favourite local producers!

For an entry form, please contact Alana at alana@nigoodfood.com. Entries close Friday 28th July.

Good luck!
