The challenge has been thrown to farmers, food suppliers and chefs from across the country to join forces and take part in a brand new competition.
The Festive Farm Food Challenge is one of the highlights of the new Royal Smithfield Christmas Fair which takes place at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset on December 1st and 2nd.
The Challenge is one of the major features of the Festive Farm Food Halls, supported by NatWest, focussing on meat, poultry, fish and game. And £2,000 worth of prize money is available to the main winners.
The competition calls for a farmer, butcher and chef to team up and combine their skills and talents and come-up with a mouth-watering recipe for a festive buffet lunch and a three course supper.
They must also window-dress a stand in the Festive Farm Food Halls, promoting the core ingredients used in the recipes, and providing a list of all ingredients.
All entries must be submitted by November 1st to challenge organiser Andrew Clune at the Bath & West Showground (01749 822 232). The recipes will be scrutinised by a team of top judges before the Fair. Their verdicts, combined with the judging of the entrants’ stands at the Fair, will decide the ultimate winners. And random recipes will be selected for preparation in the cookery demonstration kitchen at the Fair.
The new Royal Smithfield Christmas Fair offers visitors the opportunity to stock up on presents, sample the very best food around, enjoy the major food challenge and see the country’s premier primestock on parade - all at the same time.
Preparations are well underway for the new two day event which takes place at the Bath & West Showground at Shepton Mallet, Somerset on December 1st and 2nd and is jointly organised by the Royal Smithfield Club and the Royal Bath & West of England Society.
The amount of interest in the new event has delighted organisers, and enquiries have been received from all over the country as well as from America and Europe.
This major new agricultural exhibition, centred around the traditional Royal Smithfield Club’s livestock competitions, offers a first class opportunity to showcase the country’s top livestock, and the services and products related to the livestock and meat industry.
And as well as presenting a superb Christmas shopping opportunity with festive food and a gift fair in the Avalon Pavilion, there will be a Carol Service to get everyone well and truly into the Christmas spirit.
