The best of Norfolk produce from land and sea

The EDP Bidwells Norfolk Food Festival 2010 will be taking place from September 18 to October 3 reflecting the best of Norfolk produce from the land and the sea.

Highlights of the annual festival which is becoming larger every year include: A Moveable Feast on September 28 when more than 600 diners will enjoy a three course dinner at three different restaurants across the city of Norwich; a major food debate at the John Innes Centre to tackle the key issues for farming, food production and for the retail customer; the Norfolk Food Awards which single out the success stories of the county’s food producers; the Annual Battle of the Bangers when the county’s leading butchers compete for the public voting of the best local sausage and there will also be a large food fayre to feature chef’s kitchen demonstrations and tastings.

The Norfolk Food Festival will also include over 300 events which are organised by individuals, schools, companies and other community groups.

Produced in Norfolk will be leading the way on a tastings trail called ‘Taste the View’ featuring small food and drink producers who will be putting on special tastings for the whole fortnight of the festival. Last year this ranged from venison sausages to autumn berry ice cream.

Full details of these events and new events as they are agreed will be listed on the dedicated festival website on norfolkfoodfestival.co.uk.
