Last weekend (Friday 31st January to Sunday 2nd February) breakfasters were out and about to enjoy what was on offer at this year’s Ledbury Big Breakfast.
Becoming a “traditional Ledbury event”, we celebrated in winter weather far better than Ledbury has recently experienced.
17 Venues in Ledbury and district took part this time and most venues reported good business – a blessing for the many small businesses joining the event at a difficult time of year.
Dishes on offer for a sit-down breakfast stretched from the full English Breakfast through eggs in many ways, smashed avocado, banana pancakes, purple toast, kippers, Shakshuka and so much more. What did you enjoy?
Both butchers in town – Gurneys and Wallers – created special breakfast products, and on the Friday, the Country Market served cooked breakfasts at the Burgage Hall. Local Produce to buy for a breakfast at home also featured at a well-supported Hellens Produce Market on the Saturday, and from our delis in town – Ceci Paolo and Handley Organics.
Ledbury Community Hub added to the celebrations for the first time with a Boozy Brunch and Bingo on Sunday at the Hub.
The High Sheriff of Herefordshire Patricia Churchward joined the Town Mayor of Ledbury Councillor Stephen Chowns, County Councillor Liz Harvey, local resident Nat Hone, The Town Clerk and members of Ledbury Food Group for breakfast to launch the event. The High Sheriff and the Mayor then visited a number of businesses taking part. They also visited the Ledbury Food Bank to learn how this initiative supports those in need in and around Ledbury.
Our thanks to all the businesses who made this year’s Ledbury Big Breakfast another great success – showing off the quality and variety of Ledbury and district’s local food offering. Thanks too to all who supported the businesses taking part by coming out and finding your breakfast.
Lastly, our apologies to those who were not able to get their first choice on Saturday – sadly there is a limit to capacity in town for this popular event.
