THE GOLDEN SPURTLE

Sponsored by:

 

Dating back to the Neolithic age, porridge may be humble, but in the Scottish Highlands it inspires passion, rivalry, and community pride. Each year, the quiet village of Carrbridge becomes the center of the culinary world with the World Porridge Making Championships, where competitors from around the globe vie for the coveted Golden Spurtle. For beloved local Charlie Miller, facing retirement and failing health, the competition is about more than oats—it’s about legacy. Fellow villager Ian Bishop sees it as his last shot at glory, while reigning champion Lisa Williams defends her crown against daring newcomers eager to rewrite tradition. Brimming with eccentric humor and Highland charm, THE GOLDEN SPURTLE celebrates resilience, rivalry, and the simple joy of a steaming bowl.
