After the Real Food Festival<\/a> in London, we thought it would be interesting to highlight an out of town festival in the seaside resort of Broadstairs.\u00a0 Broadstairs Food Festival<\/a> or Food Fayre as it is also known is an annual event and this year had over 100 stalls showcasing Kent produce. I visited on the third day of the Fayre, it was fairly busy when I arrived mid-morning, but by the afternoon it was packed with visitors sampling the free wares.<\/p>\n

There was lots of English Wine, Flavoured Cider, Cheese and Chutney on display, along with the obligatory burger stands, which in this instance at least included local butchers selling venison burgers and wild boar and venison sausages.<\/p>\n

Kent restaurants like the The Ambrette<\/a> (Rye and Margate) and The Siam Kitchen<\/a> (Broadstairs) were also represented and I couldn’t miss O’re the Moon<\/a> the award winning Kent fudge company’s display of\u00a0 Scottish Tablet (not sure where that fits in as traditional Kent produce, but as a Scot I am not complaining).<\/p>\n
