The Royal Norfolk Show - a foody extravaganza

Drove Orchards Apple Juices

Tasting

Snuggled between Breckland's Posh Pop - think: startling combinations such as Ginger and Chilli, or Sloe Lemonade, and the Old Fashioned Pudding Company, (Spotted Dick, Steak and Kidney Pudding) Drove Orchards was overjoyed to find ourselves in such highbrow epicurean company.

"Spotted Dick"

The Food Hall at the Royal Norfolk Show is also host to the following favourite local foodies... as well as many many more.  

Brays Cottage Perfect Pork Pies, and quite the most beautifully attired stand in the Food Hall.

Crush, nutty Norfolk Rapeseed Oil, Pesto and perhaps Hummus too...

Tim Kinnaird of Macarons and More beside a tower of his diaphanous Macarons... such tastebud explosions appear in lovely Breton-style Salted Butter Caramel and exotic Passion fruit and Chocolate

Cooling off with Breckland's ice-cold Ginger Beer with a Chilli kick... a fab bottle of pop!

...and other treats
