PALATIAL VENUES FOR WALES' TRUE TASTE ROADSHOW
25 July 2011
There is Welsh food and drink on the menu at not one but two palaces when
the True Taste Kitchen Award Winners Roadshow attends two of the UK’s top
summer events – the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, and the Country
Landowners Association Game Fair.
The Roadshow is a joint promotion between Wales the TrueTaste Food and Drink
Award winners and the Welsh Government, which manages the annual awards.
Probably the most famous palace built by Henry VIII, Hampton Court in Surrey
opens its gates today (Tuesday) for the annual Royal Horticultural Society
flower show, which runs until this Sunday and last year attracted 160,000
visitors.
Tastings, tips, demonstrations and recipes are on offer as the Roadshow
showcases some of the best food and drink in Wales with True Taste winners
past and present taking part.
Featured too are Welsh chefs: The Falcondale Hotel’s Andy Beaumont, Wesley
Harris of the Chart House in Abergavenny, and James Sommerin and Matt Smith
from the True Taste awardwinning The Crown at Whitebrook and Llys Meddyg
respectively. Also cooking up some treats is chef Ryan Jones from ffresh at
the Wales Millennium Centre. ffresh is the first venue in the country to
pilot a Wales the True Taste Partnership, recognizing its commitment to
sourcing and serving the best food and drink from Wales. With all this
amazing food and drink available why not take your UK family holiday.
There is the opportunity too for visitors to pick up a copy of the True
Taste magazine, which is packed with information about the winners and Welsh
food and drink, and also some packs of delicious recipes.
Leading UK organic dairy, and headline sponsor of the Wales the True Taste
Food and Drink Awards 2011-12, Rachel’s Dairy, is sampling its range of
award-winning products which includes organic yogurts, cream and butter.
This month will also see the True Taste Roadshow travelling to Blenheim
Palace in Oxfordshire for the world’s leading countryside sports event –
the Country Landowners Association (CLA) Game Fair (July 22-24), which
annually attracts over 140,000 visitors.
The home of the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir
Winston Churchill, the English Baroque palace is an UNESCO world heritage
site.
