Celebrating the extraordinary Food and Drink from our region.
Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd July at Cressing Temple Barns, Near Braintree, Essex
Welcome to the second year of the Essex Festival of Food and Drink where we will be celebrating the quality, variety and abundance of food and drink local to our region.
Buoyed by the positive reactions, success and thousands of visitors in 2011, this year's festival is an even more ambitious affair with a weekend full of fabulous food and drink related events, top chef demonstrations, the Love Food Hate Waste roadshow, wine tastings and butchery demonstrations.
Add to this, the very best of local producers along with a touch of some British and overseas delicacies and there will be a wonderful selection to tempt your taste buds.
The popular 500 seater Food Court will be back again with over 20 different food and drink vendors serving freshly cooked food such as Indian street food, local seafood, and hog roast, all washed down with your favourite tipple. There will also be live music to create a lively festival atmosphere
We have three fabulous celebrity chefs demonstrating their culinary expertise in the cookery theatre over the weekend alongside our very own top Essex chefs.
There will be many highlights to the festival and we will continually update the web site with new additions over the coming months so keep checking for the latest news.
