I was on a mission this morning. Last year I got a pot of Christmas Chutney from one of the stalls at the food fair as a present, and they liked it so much they asked if they could have some again this year. That was quite easy - the stall for River View Gardens was even in the same place in the tent.
I went round twice, the first time seranaded by a male voice choir, and the second time by a brass band. There were local breweries and wine and Penderyn whisky, all sorts of chutneys and relishes, gorgeous looking meat and cheeses from local producers, and speciality breads.
Tomorrow, it's the turn of the crafts.
Meanwhile, Chef on the Run has been winning awards again!
They've been shortlisted in the quality food awards in association with Woman's Weekly and Asda, in the local food class.
And they were one of 12 finalists in the Waitrose & Country Living magazine Made In Britain awards, with their Old Fashioned Ginger Marmalade.
They won £500, a bottle of champagne, and a contract to supply local Waitrose stores!
(I think they must mean 'local' rather loosely - I don't actually know where the nearest Waitrose is!).
The Old Fashioned Ginger Marmalade must be good stuff, because it also won a Gold 1* from the great taste awards; the Rhubarb and Orange Chutney won Gold 2*.
