A recipe for good food and fun is being cooked up at Harewood over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

The Great British Food Festival will take place at the stately home’s estate, with more than 80 local producers, hot food, real ale and wine bars.

The event will also feature chef demonstrations from This Morning’s Marcus Bean and former Yorkshire Chef of the Year Stephanie Moon, as well as a cake competition and the popular Men V’s Food challenge.

Event organiser, Daniel Maycock said: “It’s a great mix of demos, from bakers to gourmet food – Marcus is great with the crowd but I’m also looking forward to seeing the best of the local talent. Come along, I’m sure they’ll impress you.

“With Great Britain’s amazing mix of cultures and cuisines we thought it would be a shame to overlook some more exotic elements – so you can try ostrich burgers, jerk chicken and ‘Crazy Wendy’s’ Thai food as well as pulled pork, prime steak, and the best local burgers and sausages, for those with more traditional tastes.”

The event will also include craft and gift stalls, along live music and activities and rides for children.

The Great British Food Festival takes place from 10.30am to 5.30pm from May 24 to May 26. Visit greatbritishfoodfestival.com/harewood-house.asp for further information.
