Andy will be demonstrating the latest Fifteen Cornwall dishes and explaining how to get the most out of the excellent produce on sale, as well as other local guest chefs – including: Matt Corner from The View, Whitsand Bay, Dale McIntosh from Bustophers, Truro and Jack Stein fromThe Seafood Restaurant, Padstow. Robert Hocking from Buttervilla will also be giving visitors a Spring planting demonstration – so you can learn how to grow some of this delicious produce in your own back garden.
Sean Willams, MD at cornishfoodmarket.co.uk, talks about his decision to work with Fifteen Cornwall: “It is a pleasure to be part of an event like this. It allows consumers both from in and outside of Cornwall to experience the very best that the county has to offer. Fifteen Cornwall shares our passions and aspirations in terms of creating a ‘virtuous circle’ of economic and social benefit to people connected with the food sector here in Cornwall. They have done a fantastic job, since they launched 6 years ago, in promoting efficient local supplier networks and creating opportunities both through direct employment in their business and, by pursuing the ‘buy fresh buy local’ ideal.
He added: “cornishfoodmarket.co.uk’s underlying philosophy is perfectly aligned with those of Fifteen Cornwall’s, given that our basic motivation in creating our business has been to re-establish the link between local food production and local food consumption here in Cornwall – making it easy for food shoppers to follow their instincts and buy fresh locally produced food.”
The Fifteen Cornwall Spring Farmers’ Market will take place in the Extreme Academy car park in front of the restaurant at Watergate Bay. Entry is free and there is ample car parking space.
