We love Devizes, we love food, and we love drink too! What’s not to like when the Devizes Food & Drink Festival launch, (or could we say lunch?!) their program of events for this year?!
The Festival runs from 21st-29th September, in which during that time you could be tasting tucker from Italy to Ukraine, the latter from Soup-Chick, take your dog for a meal, or your teddy bear, lunch in a old mill, explore the realm of gastronomy with Professor Charles Spence, taste the delights our local chocolatier Holly, try hot dishes in the safety of the fire station (!!), sample what the folk who built Stonehenge had for dinner, and the usual unusual meals in various locations and lots more besides!
On the eve of the festival, Saturday 21st September, the free Street Food & Artisan Market, in the Market Place from 10am – 4pm, with music by Strungout Ukuleles. And the festival finishes (or should I say fishes?…no, I’ve clearly taken the joke too far now, and must punish myself with an ice cream) with the World Food event at the Corn Exchange on Sunday 29th from 12:30pm. This is the other freebie event where you can enjoy tasters of the flavours of the world for less than £1 per portion . The festival promises foods from Austria to Zimbabwe, exploring real home cooking from local residents who have far flung roots.
I’ve personally never attended this grand finale World Food gig, yet, and get told off by foodie Dora every year for it! I will try extra this time, Dora, honest!
Get the details of all the events and how to book them, Here.
Plus, of course, I will add them all to our event calendar next update, I just need a fish finger sandwich first, all food chat has given me an appetite.
