some of the industry’s hottest names, alongside some of the festivals more familiar faces, such as BBC’s food and drink correspondent Nigel Barden as main stage compere. In addition, Alan Paton and his team will again be providing our guests with a range of tasty treats throughout the day.
Other highlights will include workshops offering an insight into cider making and a guide to bee keeping with local chef Colin Wheeler-James, and of course the main UCFF stage returns with its unmissable line up of passionate, knowledgeable and talented chefs including Jack Stein (The Stein Group), Dr Rupy Aujia (The Doctor’s Kitchen), John Walton (Paul Ainsworth No.6), and Emily Scott (St Tudy Inn), among many others.
Guests will also be able to join expert forager Fraser Christian on one of our many “Coastal Foraging Tours” taking place throughout the day along Padstow’s rocky coastline, providing attendees with the unique opportunity to discover the diversity of wild produce available in the area - from edible seaweed and rock samphire to scurvy grass, sorrel and sea spinach.
With great food firmly at the heart of the festival, visitors can expect a treasure trove of taste at the UCFF’s Great Taste Market where they will be able to discover and sample a delicious array of food and drink from both national suppliers and local producers who will be on hand to talk about their products in person.
And of course, sharing, inspiring and networking is thirsty work, so alongside the complimentary food available all day, delegates can enjoy free Sharp’s Beer, live music and Dingley Dell’s Dirty Dozen BBQ Competition in the evening!
