F E S T I VA L R E TURNS THIS SEPTEMBER WITH A STELLAR LINE UP
LUDLOW FOOD
Ludlow Food Festival returns with a bang this September with a superb line-up of special guests alongside a huge range of top quality food and drink producers from across the Welsh Marches. Set in the beautiful ruins of Ludlow’s medieval Castle, Ludlow Food Festival attracts over 15,000 visitors across the three days and is the oldest annual food festival in the UK.
This year’s line-up includes: Wahaca founder Thomasina Miers; gardener Alys Fowler; Bristol based-chefs and writers Claire Thomson (5 O’Clock Apron) and Romy Gill MBE (Romy’s Kitchen); Rome based award-winning food writer and author Rachel Roddy and Observer Food Magazine editor Allan Jenkins.
Other confirmed names include: BBC Saturday Kitchen regular Brad Carter of Birmingham’s Michelin starred Carters of Moseley; award-winning cookery writer Charlotte Pike; James Whetlor of Cabrito Goat; DJ BBQ and Masterchef Professionals Finalist Louise Ellis from Nottingham’s Michelin starred Restaurant Sat Bains.
With more than 40 hours of demonstrations over the weekend across three main stages, interactive talks and tastings with different chefs and producers on each day, there’s plenty happening all weekend. A huge range of produce will be available to sample and buy throughout the weekend too, everything from fresh vegetables to chocolate, from locally produced meats and cheese to unusual wines and beers, honeys and herbs and much more. In fact the food shopping is the biggest draw for many visitors.
The Friday night will also see a brand new Fire & Feast event celebrating outdoor cooking in the Castle, whilst Saturday
night sees Rachel Roddy and Claire Thomson taking over the newly opened Dinham Weir House with an exclusive one-night only menu.
Rachel Roddy said: “After years of hearing the most wonderful things about the food and drink festival, I am thrilled to have been invited to Ludlow, at the thought of meeting everyone and tasting everything and to be bringing a taste of both Rome and Sicily to Ludlow Castle.”
Hannah Mackley, Events Manager for Ludlow Food Festival, said: “Ludlow and the wider Marches area is a genuine centre of culinary excellence, not just with top quality restaurants but also fantastic independent food shops, butchers, bakers, farm shops and more – we take good food seriously here! I’m delighted that we’ve got such a fantastic line-up for this year’s festival, whatever your interest in food is, we’ve got something perfect for you, whether it’s tastings, talks and demos or taking part in our Sausage or Ale Trails. We can’t wait to welcome you in September for a fun-filled foodie weekend!”
