TEWKESBURY FOOD FESTIVAL.

My wife Tracey,my son Leo who is 21 months old,a friend Becky who I met via the BBC Food Website and her chap Mike went to the Festival on Sunday 3rd May and the weather was kind considering it was a Bank Holiday weekend.

On offer was a Craft Fair Marquee with everything you'd expect from handmade chopping boards to handblown glassware.

However the were lots of different stalls and a main Food Hall Marquee.There was some beautiful fine produce on offer from Parma Hams to Handmade Scotch Eggs,Chilli Oils that could blow your head off to beautiful creamy fudge.

I only purchased some Pancetta,a Simon Rimmer Vegetarian Cookbook and some Warwickshire honey.

The festival was extremely well supported (certainly on the Sunday) and I think alot of the credit has to go to the organisers with the parking arrangements and the fact that they'd managed to get a big name in food like James Martin to come and do some demo's.

We saw him judging a Dinner Ladies Cook off which was hilarious and a huge credit must go to the 2 ladies taking part.They were funny whether they meant to be or not.
