TERRY LAYBOURNE LEADS GUEST CHEF LINE-UP
Tue 11 Aug 2026
"It's a wonderful way to celebrate great food, great hospitality and great sport."
Picking four stand-out fixtures throughout the season, our elevated match-day showcases the best local flavours in sophisticated surroundings.
Starting with the Gallagher PREM visit of Sale Sharks on Friday October 23, Terry (pictured) will be bringing the inspiration and execution which has won him awards and admirers in equal measure.
The founder of famed restaurant, 21, among others, Laybourne was the first Newcastle chef to be awarded a Michelin star, earning the accolade within three years of opening.
His menu for English rugby's northern derby will see the best North-East produce on show, and is accompanied by a welcome cocktail and sommelier to suggest wine pairings.
Terry said: "I'm delighted to be involved with Newcastle Red Bulls at the start of what promises to be an exciting journey, both on and off the pitch.
"Having the opportunity to bring together some of the UK's leading chefs, many of whom I've had the pleasure of calling friends over the years, to showcase their signature dishes ahead of a fantastic game of rugby is a perfect partnership.
"It's a wonderful way to celebrate great food, great hospitality and great sport."
Jane Shepstone, head of commercial venue at Newcastle Red Bulls, added: "Terry is one of the region's most celebrated culinary figures, so it feels fitting that he will launch our guest chef series.
"We're passionate about showcasing the quality of the North East's food and drink offer, working with local suppliers to bring the very best regional produce to our guests. Combined with the excitement of elite rugby, it's an experience that celebrates everything that's great about our region and creates a truly memorable match day."
