Mallow Food Festival – Sunday 23 August
I wrote last week about the smoked trout from Old Millbank Smokehouse in Buttevant. If you’re interested in picking some up, Geraldine will have her stall at the Mallow Food Festival on Sunday 23 August with plenty of trout, salmon and some of her fantastic pates and fishcakes. Many of my favourite traders will also be there, including Arun Kapil‘s Green Saffron, wafting gorgeous smells of curry down the street, Gudrun Shinick’s Fermoy Natural Cheese, the Baking Emporium (make sure you pick up a pack of their fantastic spelt cheese crackers) and skin care products that are good enough to eat from Shirley’s Herbal Care. There will also be baking from Nibbles Food Emporium, tasty snacks from Allan’s Crepes and Tom’s Sushi alongside a selection of ethnic foods from the Caribbean (The Joy Store), Lithuania (Vias) and Thailand (Thai Lanna).
I had a great day working (and meeting people) at last year’s festival: this time round I’m going to take the opportunity to land Little Missy in her sling and introduce to the sights, smells and sounds of yet another market. Fingers crossed for another sunny festival Sunday!
The Mallow Food Festival takes place on Sunday 23 August.
And I will miss it…..I had a ball last year. Can’t wait to read your post about the success this year.Elke
What time does it start Caroline? Will try to make it down to Mallow this year!
Pity about that, Elke. We’ll have to try meeting up in Cork sometime instead.Just found out that the festival is on from 12 to 3.30pm, Maria. Might be seeing you down there – we have a pair of the Husband’s cousins around for that weekend as well so it’s all go at the cottage!
