The Taste of East Anglia Food & Drink Festival is a fantastic one day family event celebrating and championing the very best food & drink that we are so lucky to have in this region and we are extremely proud that our festival plays an important role in promoting East Anglia as a great food and drink destination.

Held on Tourney Field, in the grounds of Kentwell Hall in Long Melford, this delicious Food Festival is home to eighty top quality, local, food & drink  stalls selling a huge range of artisan products from freshly baked sourdoughs to locally made sausages, old fashioned Suffolk cider to Mersea Island Oysters and sticky chocolate brownies to sparkling wine.

Our selection of hot Street Food is always mouthwatering and in 2025 the choice will include the very best buttermilk chicken burgers, wood fired pizza, chimichurri steak baguettes, NYC style hot stuffed bagels, loaded fries, homemade pasta & arancini, creamy mac n cheese and delicious Indian street food. 

Of course we'll have a selection of bars too selling craft ales, Suffolk lager, lots of fizz and summer cocktails plus we have a brand new wine area showcasing the very best East Anglian wine producers with free talks throughout the day from eight different vineyards giving you the chance to taste lots and learn lots! 

Free cooking demos will run all day in our fantastic Kitchen Theatre shining a spotlight on some of Suffolk's very best chefs who will all be creating delicious dishes, sharing their top tips and even letting you taste their wonderful creations. All demos are free to attend, and visitors can come and go as they please. 

And, brand new for 2025 we'll have an amazing BBQ Demo area where social media influencer, Jack's Meatshack, will be grilling all day. He'll be cooking on a selection of the very best equipment and sharing his space with other BBQ experts who will be grilling a whole range of delicious meat cuts and offering out free samples for all to enjoy!

For those who want a break from food to enjoy a spot of Retail Therapy, we'll have a wonderful selection of non food stalls which are all run by small, local makers and artists selling a range of products including beautiful handmade candles, chunky pottery and kitchenware, wooden chopping boards and a range of handmade Aga tops, oven gloves and tea towels plus we'll have an incredible fresh herb stall and beautiful, locally grown plants and cut flowers.
