In October 2009,   Suck it and Sea was proud to welcome award winning chef and TV star,  Heston Blumenthal,  to Brighton.

Heston was filming Series 2 of his amazing Channel 4 programme,  Heston's Feasts.   In each episode,  Heston takes a period of history or a theme and creates an extraordinary feast, exploring the bounds of creativity and imagination.   Some of the ingredients used are frankly mind-boggling!   Click here for more

Suck it and Sea appears in the first episode of the new series,  due to be aired on 6 April at 9pm on Channel 4.    In this episode,  Heston will explore the psychedelic Sixties and create a Willy Wonka inspired feast which includes edible wallpaper and a chocolate waterfall. 

We spent an entertaining afternoon with Heston and his production team,  filming the  introduction and the links between the various courses.    They said that they were looking for a sweetshop which conjured up the feeling of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory - and they found it in Suck it and Sea.
