Nottinghamshire food and drink businesses will be showcasing their produce at the 11th annual Melton Mowbray Food Festival, held in the town’s Cattle Market from 4-5 October 2014.
The Melton Mowbray Food Festival is one of the largest regional food festivals in the country and is attracting exhibitors from all over the East Midlands. These include several businesses from Nottinghamshire including Mrs King’s Pork Pies, The Cheese Shop in Nottingham and Mr Pitchfork’s Pickles – ideal produce to create a real ‘Nottingham Ploughman’s’.
Bob Pitchfork from Mr Pitchfork’s Pickles, said: “The Melton Mowbray Food Festival is one of the most important shows that we attend and we meet new and old customers there. We showcase all of our products and the visitors are free to taste. The organisation is fantastic and we’re looking forward to meeting customers and stallholders at this year’s event.”
Over 150 exhibitors will be showcasing their produce at the Festival and this year, visitors can sample not only the local, traditional Melton Mowbray Pork Pies and Stilton Cheese, but also a range of delicious foods such as stunning new alcoholic ice creams, artisan cheeses, gold-infused bubbly, steamed puddings, chocolate kebabs, gourmet British game, locally-brewed ales and many more.
Tickets are priced at £6 on the day or £5 in advance from www.goleicestershire.com/foodfestival online or in person from Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe in Melton Mowbray. For more details on the Festival, visit www.meltonmowbrayfoodfestival.co.uk
