Complete Media Group launched the Real Food Festival on 24th - 27th April 2008. Here is a selection of reactions to the successful event.

“The Real Food Festival was every bit as diverse and exciting as I had hoped. At long last, we have a national stage for the small producer, more concerned with flavour and sustainability than bagging a quick buck. It showed that British artisan producers –as well as those from around Europe – are thriving and there is a proper market for real, slow food. This is good news not just for these farmers and producers but for our taste buds and bellies too.”
