Gloucestershire goes to Westminster

Conceived of by Neil Carmichael, Gloucestershire goes to Westminster is an extension of Neil's Food Festival which he promoted at Frampton Fete last year. The idea is to take small Gloucestershire producers and businesses to the House of Commons to promote our excellent local produce and encourage local business to use these products for corporate entertaining and in house food outlets. Debbie spent today at Cirencester Farmers Market talking to local producers and telling them about the event. Angel Bakery (pictured) and Paddock House were just two of the local producers eager to take part.

Debbie said "Local provenance is even more important now in the face of the horsemeat scandal and it is really  crucial that we support local producers who provide locally sourced food, personally cooked in a sustainable way"
