Update your dairy with the dates for the fourth Ledbury Big Breakfast.
This year Ledbury will be celebrating breakfast on Friday 29th January and Saturday 30th January.
This event celebrates that most important of meals – breakfast, and what we at the Food Group consider important – good locally produced food and drink.
Food shops, butchers, cafes and hotels in and around Ledbury will be providing a wide range of local breakfasts, including specials for the day.
Last year 20 local businesses took part presenting all kinds of breakfast treats – this year we hope there will be even more variety for you to eat in or take home.
Those taking part in 2016 will include:
| The Talbot | Handley Organics |
| Delilah’s | Four Oaks Delicatessen |
| Nice Things | Gurneys |
| Market House Cafe | Llandinabo Farm Shop |
| Chez Pascal | Wallers |
| Muse Cafe | The Nest |
| Cameron & Swan | Trumpet Corner |
| Caffe 21 |
More information will be available on our website here in early January – when we will post up all the specials on offer, and details of opening times etc.
Stuck for a Christmas Present?
Lots of local food and drink producers offer “activities” of all kinds in addition to making super products.
You can adopt a vine or share an apple crop, go on a bread making course, learn about cheese making, tour a cider mill or a farm, take an Indian cookery course, find out more about orchards, tour a vineyard and so on.
We have a number of ideas in our Producers Index on our website which could provide you with the answer.
And if nothing satisfies, why not come into Ledbury and put together a gift of local food – there are even shops selling boxes for you to present it all in.
Best wishes for Christmas from Ledbury Food Group
