Managing Director Lance Forman says:
“This is a rare chance for Londoners to come and learn what goes into making artisan food. They will be guided through the whole process of our salmon smoking and at the same time they can meet some of the best food producers from the rest of the country. This day will give a real insight into the skill and passion of people who dedicate themselves to putting something really special on your plate.
Last year’s event was so popular we have decided to expand it to include a dedicated Food Theatre with more talks and demonstrations and a whole floor for the Market where our producers will be selling their fantastic food. This is going to be a brilliant gastronomic day out.”
