A TOP celebrity chef has revealed plans to open his own stall at York Christmas Market - giving people the chance to try his food at a much cheaper price than normal.

Great British Menu star Tommy Banks is set to bring a stall to York Christmas Market from this Thursday (November 14) - offering luxury pies to Christmas market visitors.

He achieved his first Michelin star at the age of 24 and owns three restaurants in North Yorkshire - The Black Swan at Oldstead, Roots in Marygate in York, and The Abbey Inn, Byland – and is a key part of the city’s culinary scene.
