We are cooking up something special for Henley Festival 2026 with our comic culinary characters.

Russell & Watts present ‘A Tall Order’

Expect juggling and manipulation skills with various utensils alongside some gently simmered silliness and cheeky chef shenanigans

Mark Russell and Jem Maynard Watts (aka Thomas Trilby) are ’seasoned’ international performers who between them have taken their skills to the Bahrain F1, TV in Lebanon, a theme park in China as well as The London Olympics, Harrods, Blenheim Palace and for companies including Microsoft, KPMG, Amazon and Rolls Royce. 

Look out for these tall fellows who definitely aren’t ’short order’ chefs but will bring their tall stories and perfectly baked humour to the festival.
