Where is Future Food Stars filmed? Filming locations of Gordon Ramsay's BBC show
We reveal the series 2 locations
Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars has returned, and viewers want to know where the series is filmed.
Series two of Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars kicked off on BBC One on Thursday 30 March. The programme sees the Michelin-starred chef search for the country's most exciting and innovative new food and drink business, with 12 contestants battling it out to impress Gordon and win an investment from him. While they take on the challenges, the entrepreneurs film in some stunning locations across the UK.
Much like TV viewers want to know the filming locations of other popular TV shows such as ITV's John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, or new BBC drama Beyond Paradise, the same question is now being asked of Future Food Stars. Here's what we know about where the series was filmed...
Where is Future Food Stars filmed?
Future Food Stars was filmed in a number of locations in the UK, including Scotland, Wales, Manchester, Gateshead, Henley, and Oxford. The BBC said: "Over 8 weeks, the Future Food Stars will travel all over the country from the Cotswolds to Wales to Gateshead and all the way to Glenapp Castle in Scotland."
Meanwhile, host Gordon Ramsay said: "Viewers can expect more beautiful locations from across the UK, really interesting special guests who appear on the show to test my contenders, as well as more really tough challenges where the contenders have to push extremely hard to impress me with their skills and ideas."
He added: "The aim really is to showcase and shine a light on some of the amazing places, people and their businesses making the UK food and drink industry so exciting right now."
The show opens in Newquay, Cornwall, but will travel around the UK, visiting the Lake District, Devon and Somerset's Cheddar Gorge and London.
