Food Fair is a feast!

Squirrel is on the menu at the National Botanic Garden of Wales at the end of the month (January 28-29).

The Food Fair is the final event in the Garden’s ‘FREE January’ programme and is set to be a real sizzler.

Making their first appearance at the Garden are the food firm ‘Taste of the Valleys’, who are not just offering squirrel but also pigeon, partridge, pheasant, wild duck, venison, and rabbit along with speciality sausages and cured gammons and bacon.

Ruth Askwith, of Taste of the Valleys, said: “We have just moved into the Carmarthen area and we are very keen to take part in local food events. Squirrel is one of our best sellers at the moment.”

For the more conservative palate, there will also be locally brewed beer and cider; Welsh-produced wine; longhorn beef, mutton and lamb; pork; Welsh Black beef; vegetarian treats; fabulous Carmarthenshire cheese; Welsh brew tea, chutneys, pickles, preserves; bread, cakes, sweets, honey,  biscuits, brownies and chocolates.

In short, it’s an absolute feast!

The Garden is open from 10am until 4.30pm, admission to the Garden and the Food Fair is free.
