Porridge Championships
to be held on at Giraffe restaurant on London`s Southbank on Saturday 28 November

Who will be crowned London`s porridge champion, prince or princess?
This Saturday (28th October) as part of their annual porridge extravaganza, seriously fruity cereal maker Rude Health is holding a freestyle gourmet porridge contest for adults and for children. Contestants have been whittled down over the past few weeks and on Saturday the finalists will battle for the title of London`s porridge champion whilst slaving over a bubbling saucepan of rolled oats. Weird and wonderful concoctions are anticipated.

In addition to the competition, the reigning World Porridge Champion - Anna Louise Batchelor - will be demonstrating the dish that clinched her the speciality category at the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championships - SPOTTED DICK PORRIDGE PUDDING.

The making of the sexiest, gourmet porridge will be filmed and posted online at www.rudehealth.com
