The Hungerford 2015 Food Festival was a huge success again this year. The weather was glorious and the town was packed with people. There were over 40 stalls of local produce, street food and buskers, live cooking demonstrations, children’s foodie fun and face painting, and the great Hungerford Cook-Off not to mention, Barney’s Pumpkin Challenge.
We had Dominic and Haley Crocker and chef, Jamie Price of Hog and Crackle, plugged into our electricity supply roasting their hog. (It makes me hungry just thing about it!).
There was Ian from Olives & Things with the most fabulous stall you have ever seen.
Venus and Chris Cardwell of ISIDRO’S selling Filipino, Vietnamese and Thai food.
There were farmers selling their fruit and vegetables, meat of every kind. Bakers, cheese makers. Too many to mention.
Dani Winslet, the Events Manager at the Town Hall and Corn Exchange did an amazing job. She was very busy organising everyone but took time out to have her picture taken with Arcade co-owner, Adrian Gilmour. Well done Dani.
That is it for another year, but the next big event in the town is the Hungerford Literary Festival from 16th – 19th October. For any queries, including sponsorship opportunities, please contact Emma at The Hungerford Bookshop on 01488 683480 or email sales@hungerfordbooks.co.uk
