“Pylewell Park Food Festival held just outside Lymington in the grounds of one of the most incredible English country estates” Adam Byatt (Trinity Restaurant London BBC1 Saturday Kitchen)
Firm favourites from last year’s festival Mrs Tees Wild Mushrooms, Idelica, and The Garlic Farm will be returning along with a host of other handpicked local traders from Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire and a selection of Britain’s finest local and regional FoodLovers Approved producers hand-picked by Henrietta Green of FoodLoversBritain.com. They will make up our 120 strong ‘food and drink market’ situated on the lawns between the majestic house and the Solent shore.
