Consumers from across the UK are set to sample the best of Welsh food and at this year’s BBC Good Food Show, which is being held from November 29 – December 3 at Birmingham NEC.

The Welsh Food Experience Pavilion, which is being managed by the Welsh Development Agency Food Directorate, will feature some of Wales’ best food and drink companies.

Top Welsh chefs will also be demonstrating throughout the five days, offering visitors a chance to find out more about Welsh food and sample some distinctly Welsh menus.

The BBC Good Food Show is one of the top UK consumer events, with over 400 exhibitors showing a massive variety of new food and drink products.

WDA agri-food director Wynfford James said it was vital for Wales to have a strong presence there. “This is all part of our efforts to put Welsh food and drink on the map – we want consumers to discover the diverse range of quality products Wales has to offer, and what better way than to see it cooked by some of our top chefs,” he said.

Leading the team of chefs will be Angela Gray, star of BBC TV Wales’ ‘Hotstuff’ and ‘More Hotstuff’. Angela, former chef to Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, will be demonstrating a range of recipes – all using Welsh produce. Examples include ‘Laverbread with mushrooms, leeks and Carmarthen Ham’; ‘Festive Welsh Pork Pie’ and ‘Welsh Saltmarsh Lamb with Pickled Samphire and Garlic Beans’.
