Eating and Drinking
We have a huge choice of meals and snacks on offer at the show, aiming for high quality and wide variety in our range of foods and drinks, with as much as possible produced locally.
If you are hungry enough, sample the hog roast or barbeque. To eat on the go, there are traditional breakfasts, bacon butties, black puddings, chips, hot roast meat sandwiches, hot dogs and beef burgers, and even ostrich burgers, or you can do it yourself later with Jamie Oliver's At Home.
Try a curry with rice, or go for locally produced cheeses, pies or sausages; there is a large range of home made preserves to enhance them.
For those with a sweet tooth, there are pancakes and doughnuts, candy floss and fudge, ice cream, home made cakes and a luxurious chocolate fountain .
To finish off, try a cup of freshly ground coffee or a refreshing cup of tea. Traditional sarsaparilla and dandelion and burdock are available, as well as fresh fruit juices and soft drinks, or a cold glass of wine or lager for the adults.
