Stratford Food Festival 2010

After much deliberating between Cheese, and food in general, I have decided to visit the Stratford Food Festival this weekend (24th - 26th September), and save Cardiff's Cheese Festival for another year.  I've never actually been to a food festival before, so I really haven't got much of an idea of what to expect!
Having taken a quick peek at the organiser's website http://www.stratfordfoodfestival.co.uk/, it appears that there should be quite a bit to whet the appetite.  I look forward to visiting the French Market on Bridge Street - especially as I've already been introduced to a variety of luscious French cheeses such as Pie D'Angloys, Port Salut and Tomme de Savoie by a colleague of mine (who my twitter followers will know as 'French') and my cousin.
Having delved a little further, there are one or two particular stalls that I shall make a point of visiting as well:
The Garlic Farm - http://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/ - for the garlic obviously!
Nut Knowle Farm - http://www.nutknowlefarm.com/ - to educate myself on goat's cheese
And for those who know me well, I shall be making pit-stops at any stall that involves coffee.
For those that are interested, I'm trying to organise a Tweetup at the entrance to the main Food Festival site at 11.30pm on the Saturday - if you are interested, please either leave a comment on this post, or contact me via twitter - www.twitter.com/Midget500
