Taste Cumbria Food Festival

by Andrew on August 15, 2012 in Tasting Events/Shows with No comments

taste cumbria food festivalTaste Cumbria Food Festival, to be held in Cockermouth 29 - 30 September 2012, will serve up food and drink from over a hundred of Cumbria’s best producers, hoteliers and restaurateurs. Joining Simon Rogan of L’Enclume in Cartmel to add extra flavour to Cumbria’s perfect produce will be the county’s finest culinary talent, a host of local producers and a peppering of celebrity chefs, offering master classes and teaching skills, from fly-fishing to foraging.

Rogan is bringing his stunning culinary style to the festival by way of a unique ‘Pop-up Restaurant’, a temporary L’Enclume restaurant which will be set at the heart of the festival. Rogan, who is currently appearing on BBC screens representing the Northwest on the Great British Menu, will be serving festival visitors his signature dishes cooked on the programme. Visitors’ taste buds will continue to tingle with a plethora of producers and local businesses offering their specialities from chilli to chutney and sausages to spices. Many of Cumbria’s restaurants, pubs and cafes are also taking part to make the festival a multi-venue dining event; fancy a vintage champagne afternoon tea on the lawns of the beautiful Trout Hotel, or an evening treat enjoying an evening of jazz with Jay Rayner and his passion for jazz piano.

Ensuring the festival is a smörgåsbord of fun for the whole family, children can also get a flavour of Cumbria by taking part in a range of activities such as the ‘Vegetable Orchestra Masterclass’, and interactive cooking and baking.

The event hopes to see over 20,000 visitors flock to the region over the two days of the festival, which is supported by Jennings, who will be hosting a Cumbrian Beer Festival on site.

At the launch Simon commented:

“Cumbria is not just a stunning landscape: it also produces some of the finest food and drink in the UK. We have a vast array of talented and creative producers and, with the high demand for seasonality and local food, Taste Cumbria’s offering could not be fresher.”

glynde food and english wine festivalNow in its 6th year, the Glynde Food and English Wine Festival offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the country’s biggest gathering of English vineyards, alongside the very best local and regional food producers in the beautiful setting of Glynde Place.

Viscount Hampden, Festival Founder, comments:

‘English wines are now proving themselves on an international level and Glynde is becoming the largest and most significant gathering of some of the best vineyards in the country. Coupled with the best artisan producers, it’s a marvellous showcase’.

Visitors can explore English wine through tastings at the vineyards’ stands and Tutored Tastings with wine broadcaster Ewan Lacey and Stephen Skelton MW. There will be free talks on viticulture and wine production for those wishing to learn more.

Ewan Lacey comments:

‘I’m so excited to be involved in the English Wine festival, the strides that have been made here in England have rightly made it one of the most exciting wine growing regions in the world. I’m looking forward to tasting the best and having a chance to share in the rewards of the hard work that our wine makers are reaping’

Free to all visitors, one of the major highlights of the festival is the Chef Demo Stage. This year’s line up includes John Torode, Dhruv Baker, Peter Bayless, Tim Anderson (MasterChef winner 2011) plus actress and cook, Lisa Faulkner.

For children, the Kitchen Academy will run all weekend encouraging the next generation of chefs to cook great dishes they can then make at home – from Vegi Sushi to Mexican Quesadillas.

NEW for 2012 is the Summer Feast, an exclusive party hosted by John Torode and Dhruv Baker. Held in the main festival marquee on the Saturday night of the festival, this will be a unique opportunity to try some stunning food and enjoy the striking surroundings of Glynde Place into the evening.

‘With a plethora of cooking demonstrations, wine tasting, cookery classes, artisan food producers, English wines, beers, ciders and a street food market – there won’t be a minute in the day not to be enjoying fantastic food and drink!’ Says Viscount Hampden.

Falmouth’s Christmas Festival 2011

by Andrew on November 14, 2011 in Tasting Events/Shows with No comments

falmouth christmas festival 2011Falmouth’s first Christmas Festival is a celebration of all things local. Set to run on the last weekend before Christmas, this event encourages visitors to stock up on beautiful, locally-produced gifts and food - everything you need for your Christmas festivities.

Overlooking the boats in the harbour beyond, the idyllic setting of Discovery Quay is perfectly suited for the quaint Christmas Festival. A brightly lit Christmas tree will stand above the Cornish Food & Drink Market where you can stock up on delicious Cornish treats. Expect tastings and tipples, traditional mulled wassail and seasonal food demonstrations by local chefs, including TV chef and restaurateur Rick Stein who has a fish & chip shop, seafood bar and delicatessen on the quay.

Market stalls will line the square, where you can pick up some hand-made stocking fillers including locally-made jewellery, art, candles and gifts. A central stage will also host daily carol singers and bands playing seasonal tunes.

There are several restaurants fringing the square, making good refuges if the cold gets too much. Santa’s grotto and an array of Christmas activities at the National Maritime Museum are also a big attraction for the kids.
