DRIVE IN AND CHILL OUT AT THE ROYAL CORNWALL SHOWGROUND THIS AUGUST

After a hugely successful drive-in summer tour with Chef Tom Kerridge, the brains behind Pub in The Park, the UK’s biggest food and drink tour, have teamed up with Paul Ainsworth to bring Cornwall the ultimate drive-in movie experience.

And as you would expect from Team Ainsworth, the Drive & Dine comes with a delicious twist!

Pull-up, pop the handbrake on and enjoy the show from the safety and comfort of your own car. All whilst tucking into tasty dishes inspired by the best of the American retro drive-in scene – the Drive-In Dog, Ainsworth Fried Chicken and more!

Talking of the new venture Paul said: “I am buzzing to be bringing an event like this to Cornwall. It’s been a lot of fun creating this menu, taking some of these classic ‘at the movie’ dishes, adding bags of flavour, a little magic and lots of love. That’s the key to what we do.

“It has been a challenging start to the year and I know that Drive & Dine will bring some fun to those living or holidaying in Cornwall. Everyone loves a movie so come along and enjoy one of your favourites in an amazing (and safe) setting with some great food. We can’t wait to see you!”

Tickets go on sale from Wednesday 29th July. To access our exclusive pre-sale on Tuesday 28th July and for further information, sign-up below…

PRE-ORDER YOUR FOOD DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR CAR

Team Ainsworth’s flavour-packed and playful menu offers a nod to the typical American retro drive-in scene. Enjoy, for example a souped up version of your cinema staple, Nachos, served here with an Oozy Cheddar Fondue made from local favourite Davidstow cheese, and a Jalapēno Salsa. For something more substantial, try a Drive-In Dog – not just your regular hot dog, served in style with a Clotted Cream Bun, Fairground Onions, Pickles and Mustard Mayo.

An extensive drinks menu includes a selection of beers, lager and cider; white, rosé, red and sparkling wine; gin and tonics and passion fruit martinis.

And there are special picnic boxes for kids, as well as popcorn, milkshake and Kelly’s ice cream.

All food and drinks are available to pre-order when booking your Drive & Dine tickets, meaning you simply have to pull up, sit back and tuck in!
