A British Love Affair…
The Great British Food Festival, dedicated to celebrating the wealth and diversity of British food, will host a collection of small, independent UK producers and regional food groups. It also boasts Rick Stein’s Food Heroes and producers from Henrietta Green’s Food Lovers’ Fair.

The Great British Food Theatre, sponsored by Britannia, lies at the heart of the Great British Food Festival. Chefs and food writers including Rick Stein, Brian Turner and Henrietta Green will demonstrate recipes from all corners of the UK, using the very best local produce.

NEW this year – Jimmy Doherty of Jimmy’s Farm fame will appear with contributors and presenters from BBC Radio 4’s Food Programme and Farming Today to host discussions and competitions in the Great British Food Theatre. Winners of the 2004 BBC Radio Food & Farming Awards will also be on hand to help the Food Programme’s presenter Sheila Dillon showcase award winning produce.

Live Theatre…
Brand NEW for 2004 is ‘Entertain’ a 1,100 seat theatre hosting demonstrations by top restaurant chefs including Gino D’Acampo, Ken Hom, Curtis Stone and John Torode. Their challenge? To produce a three-course meal paired with the best selection of Australian wines that visitors can recreate at home in just 40 minutes.
