LOVE THE FLAVOUR
FOOD & DRINK FESTIVAL
OVER 40 local food & drink producers will be showcasing their goods at a Free Food & Drink Festival being held at the Two Bridges Hotel on October 29th from 10.30 to 3.30pm. It is a free event and all welcome
The producers will be available to talk about their products while you savour, taste or buy. There will be a wide variety of produce available to taste and buy including goats cheeses, tangy chutneys, preserves and delicious jams.
The Two Bridges Hotel is an ideal location to enjoy local food and drink which Jane Waters, Sales Manager at the hotel recognises is vitally important to both visitors and locals alike. " We serve as much local food as possible as we know that's one of the main reasons people come to Devon. We always try to source locally wherever possible to reduce our food miles and to support local businesses".
Twinks Read of Willow Tree Farm, Jams & Chutneys said: " These Food & Drink events are a great opportunity for local producers like myself to get our products tasted by so many new customers. Last year the event was great. Lots of local people and holiday-makers visited and took the opportunity to try new tastes and all the products were local which gave an added experience to their holiday. We are expecting great things again this year.
Robin Deitch, Food & Drink Devon Network Co-ordinator said: "The recent Food and Drink Festival at Hatherleigh was a great success with more visitors than ever and all the producers benefited from many new sales leads. These events are a great opportunity to network with like minded businesses and show how important local food is to the region."
The event is organised by Food & Drink Devon who offer business support and training opportunities to small scale local food and drink producers
throughout Devon. The Food & Drink Devon Network Development Project is funded by Greater Dartmoor LEAF, incorporating funding from the EU, Defra, SWRDA and LEADER and West Devon
Borough Council, South Hams District Council, Teignbridge District Council and Food & Drink Devon.
