A Preview to September
As there there are so many festivals in the early part of September I’ve decided to publish the monthly preview a day or so early. Yet again Irish festivals are included in the list.
Earlier in the week I posted a request on the social networks to chefs:
#Chefs , if you’re appearing or have plans for food festivals in Sept, tweet/msg me to be included in the listing #Festivals
Erica Graham from Restaurant Allium in Fairford messaged me via Facebook to tell me that her husband would be demoing at Jamie Oliver’s Feastival: The Chef’s table on Saturday & Sunday and the Main stage on Sunday.
As ever there is the prinatable PDF (just click the icon)
