Get ready to tantalise your taste buds, Northamptonshire! The county is buzzing with excitement as the Northamptonshire Food and Drink Week kicks off, promising a delightful nine-day celebration of local culinary talent. This vibrant festival is a testament to the region’s rich food and drink culture, featuring an array of events that highlight the creativity and expertise of local producers.
One of the festival’s standout events is the two-day extravaganza at Delapre Abbey in Northampton, where 80 local producers will showcase their finest offerings. Amanda Nichols from Delapre Abbey enthuses about the event, noting the incredible talent and diversity of producers in the county. It’s a fantastic opportunity for Northamptonshire to shine and for residents to discover the best of what the region has to offer.
Food lovers will also want to visit Chester House near Wellingborough, where a “ploughman’s platter” featuring local suppliers will be served. Known for its dog-friendly atmosphere, Chester House even offers a special menu for canine companions, with sausages being a firm favourite.
The festival also marks the launch of the Curious Kitchen at Kettering Park Hotel. This new dining experience, described by general manager Andrew Hollett as modern and relaxed, aims to appeal to a broad range of diners, especially the younger crowd.
Beer enthusiasts have something to look forward to as well, with Phipps Brewery in Northampton launching a new ale called From The Ashes. This porter commemorates the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of Northampton and promises a dark, smoky flavour.
As the festival unfolds, it’s clear that Northamptonshire’s food and drink scene is thriving. At James Anthony Estate Agents, we love seeing our community come together to celebrate local talent and innovation. Whether you’re a foodie, a beer lover, or simply curious, this festival is not to be missed!
