Rick Stein's chef visiting Island for charity challenge

Friday, 8 August 2014 00:00

Rick Stein's head chef will visit the Island this weekend - but instead of cooking he'll be running a marathon.

On Sunday Stephane Delourme, along with his running partner Peter McGahan, will clock up another 26 miles as part of the Celtic 7 Marathon Challenge.

The visit will mark the half-way point to their endeavour to run in seven Celtic countries which is attempting to raise £40,000 for charities in Cornwall.

Stephane who works at the celebrity chef's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow is no stranger to the Island - he sources his queen scallops from the Isle of Man.

He says he's looking forward to visiting in person:
