Argyll hospitality at its best

Experience Argyll hospitality at its best and celebrate with the locals and visitors to this area at the Loch Fyne Food and Drink Fair, held on 10-11 May 2008. A feast of West Coast food, wine, whisky and ales, gastronomes will find a wide selection of delicious local cheeses, smoked meats and chutneys to sample and buy.

A craft tent will house over 20 local producers, while children’s’ entertainment and live music throughout both days brings to life this fun and informal event that takes place on the spectacular shores of Loch Fyne.

On Saturday 10 May, the festive spirit will continue in to the night with a special Anniversary Ceilidh to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Loch Fyne Oysters (tickets £18 per head, bookable in advance) - Lochfyne.com.

For 30 years, Loch Fyne has been dedicated to enterprise with respect for animals, people and ecology. In a world increasingly dominated by global brands and multinationals, Loch Fyne Oysters remains committed to maintaining a market for the national independent producer, using sustainable methods to produce high quality foods.

At their base in Argyll, Scotland, Loch Fyne Oysters rear their own oysters and mussels and run a traditional smokehouse, smoking and curing fish using methods handed down over the years. Other fish and shellfish are sourced from local day-boats and from independent fish farms working to Organic or Freedom Food standards

Location: Next door to the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, Clachan, Cairndow, head of Loch Fyne on the A83.
