Essex Festival of Food & Drink 2011

9th – 10th July 2011

Essex steps into the ring, this weekend, to showcase some of its finest producers, chefs, vineyards, farmers' markets and food vendors for the Essex Festival of Food & Drink.
The event will be held in the grounds and medieval barns of Cressing Temple Barns, near Braintree and there will be market stalls offering fantastic seasonal produce from the best locally produced meats and delicacies to wines and beers.

We are proud to announce that there will be several of our Artisan Food Trail producers taking part in the Essex Festival of Food & Drink, so do take this opportunity to visit them in person, chat to them and most importantly taste and buy their produce:

Alder Tree
The Artisan Smokehouse
Edible Ornamentals
Food Safari
Samphire

As well as food to buy, there will also be cooking demonstrations from top chefs including Jean Christophe Novelli and Essex's own, Mark Baumann of Baumann's Brasserie in Coggeshall.
