British Food Fortnight starts on September 22 and is being celebrated from Jersey to the Trossachs, from Devon to the Highlands. I love it. There are food festivals everywhere, and if there's one thing I like more than traveling it's eating and drinking. OK, that's two things. Being from the north of England I'm biased in favor of its food, so I'll give a blatant plug for the Nantwich Food and Drink Festival that's held in Nantwich (surprisingly enough) in Cheshire.
The Festival includes a Fine Wine and Spirit Pavilion, a Gourmet Food Marquee where 85 specialist food producers will be inviting you to sample their produce, a Kid's Kitchen, celebrity chefs giving cookery demonstrations all over the town and the 5th annual CAMRA Beer Festival - which is enough of a reason to go by itself.
The dates are from Friday September 29th to Sunday October 1st, and you can find out all the info by logging on to http://www.nantwichfoodfestival.co.uk
