Our friends at Bovey Castle, a stunning venue and valued sponsor of the West Country Women Awards, are setting the stage for a spectacular culinary showdown that promises to be a true blockbuster event!
The highly anticipated Battle of Eden returns for 2026 with a dazzling theme: ‘A Night at the Movies’, on Friday 27th & Saturday 28th February at the magnificent Dartmoor estate.
A Culinary Cinematic Experience
The Battle of Eden sees five Head Chefs from across the prestigious Eden Hotel Collection go head-to-head in a night of creative, flavour-packed, and friendly rivalry. Each chef will craft one course of a five-course gala dinner, drawing inspiration from an iconic film of their choice.
Guests become both the audience and the critics, enjoying a sparkling drinks reception, a five-course dinner with perfectly paired wines, and live entertainment. The grand finale of the evening is the moment guests cast their vote to crown the Battle of Eden Champion 2026.
“Every frame, every flavour and every moment has been carefully curated to make you feel like the star of the show,” say the organisers.
Adding a touch of cinematic mystery, the chefs’ identities will remain secret until the moment the champion is crowned!
