Geordie food-lovers have the chance to sample some of the region’s finest foods at a special food festival in the centre of Newcastle this weekend.
The ‘Cook, Eat and Enjoy’ food festival will be held at Old Eldon Square from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday (27 and 28 September) with shoppers able to sample food from the North East, Cumbria, Yorkshire and beyond.
Grainger Market-based ‘mmm…’ will be tempting foodies with samples of Northumberland rapeseed oil, Cumbrian chutneys and jams, as well as selling locally produced pickles, sauces, flours and other foods.
Simone Clarkin, who set up mmm… to sell handmade and interesting foods from the local area and further afield, is pleased to be supporting the event, which has been organised by Newcastle City Council.
Simone said: “Our philosophy is to sell foods from close to home with smaller producers who share our passion for good food and quality of life.
“Many of our products are handmade locally using traditional methods with the finest natural ingredients, meaning you can truly taste the difference.
“This means they not only taste fantastic, but are good value for money, good for you, the environment and the community.â€
