The second Caerphilly Food Festival is pulling out all the stops to make it an event to remember, and one that will draw visitors from near and far!
The high street will be adorned with stalls offering a food market through the town and hosting a feast of entertainment for all ages.
A variety of food stalls will line the street filling he town with delicious smells and sizzling sounds of a bustling food fayre! Watch out for the mad chefs and skating tomato!
Foodies will be in their element as cookery demonstration programmes accompany the festival, offering inside information on how produce is made and how to improve your own culinary skills.
This year, when the festival comes to town on Saturday 4th May, to ensure that the event reaches its full potential, following a high footfall in 2012, which was aided by the Olympic Torch Relay, celebrity chef Jean Christophe Novelli will be onsite for the duration of the event to add some European culinary skills into the mix.
The well known chef, who has a 5 out of 5 AA Rosette and Michelin star to his name, will be on hand at the Caerphilly Food Festival to carry out cookery demonstrations throughout the day and will also give visitors an opportunity for autograph and book signings. Dubbed “the nations favourite French chef”, Caerphilly cannot wait to welcome Jean Christophe Novelli into town!
