Great British Food Festival 2017

After some bargain hunting, we went to Great British Food Festival at Harewood.  Even with discount, it was still expensive!  We kept telling ourselves that since it included entry to Harewood grounds and part of the house, it was worth it.

The deal included a recipe book, which was not very exciting.  When we for a goodie bag each, again, I was not particularly impressed.  The size of the whole fair was not much bigger than the Wetherby Food Festival, and a little smaller than Derbyshire Food Festival, this has made me appreciate Wetherby Food Festival more.

We saw Bleiker's Smokehouse again, the representative remember me from Pickering Game fair and promised a good deal.  We decided to revisit them later in the day.

At one point, there were two armed policemen patrolling the food festival, and by the end, they were playing with children on their patrol vehicle.  They much have drawn the longest straw!

We arrived quite early and had a walk around before it all got busy, we saw a few demonstrations, and had a loads of free tasting.  Then I signed up for a challenge, I had to stop eating!

After the challenge, Sarah sat down for her lunch, then we went around for more freebies.  We sat to watch the Man v Heat challenge, someone did vomit.

We explored the house and garden. 

We went back to watch the final challenge, and tried more samples.  We bought more smoked fish flakes and a pair of kippers and some Bexton Cheese.  A nice sunny and fruitful day.  We can't wait to try the kippers.
