Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Taste of East Anglia Food & Drink Festival
The Taste of East Anglia showcases over 70 producers from across the region as well as a number of local chefs and a large kitchen theatre. Held in the grounds of Kentwell Hall, set against the backdrop of the stunning Tudor mansion, away from busy roads where children can run around safely and parents can chill on the picnic rug – it really is the perfect location for all the wonderful tastes and smells at this one-day festival.
The festival has always attracted the entire family and there is something for everyone again in 2024 with a wonderful selection of Street Food, a huge range of artisan food, drink and craft stalls, a fabulous Kitchen Theatre stage with cooking demos and lots of free tasters, a kids tent with free activities going on throughout the day plus the very best music!
The Chef Line Up this year is amazing! Making his debut on the stage the Executive Chef now leading the kitchen at The Bildeston Crown, Freddie Fallon, will be blending Asian influences into local produce from the Nedging Hall Estate.
Making a very welcome return and labelled by The Good Food Guide as the `chef to watch’ (which you will quite literally be able to do at the festival!) is James Carn – owner and chef of Lark restaurant.
Another award winner is Suffolk favourite Alan Paton who won the Sausage Roll Off this year. He will be showing off his Award-winning Black Pudding Battenberg sausage roll and Will & Simon Wooster will be giving top tips on baking the best breads at home. Plus the festival theatre will also be showcasing the skills of Lee Cooper, head chef at Squires at the Bedford Lodge Hotel, Sam Sturman, head chef at The Bull at Troston and Greg Strolenberg of Lavenham Butchers who will be showing off his butchery skills.
