Tuck in to Brighton & Hove in 2010

The Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival is a celebration of the best food and drink to be found in the city and wider Sussex, with producers, restaurants, pubs and bars, retailers, markets and great events firmly at its heart.

The Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival is now established as the largest festival of its kind on the south coast, and is one of the most important cultural events in Brighton & Hove’s calendar.

100,000 foodies enjoyed our 2009 festival, and 2010 will be bigger and better than ever as we’re running events throughout the year, starting with an 11 day ‘Spring Harvest’ festival in March.

We’re proud to announce that The Chocolate Festival and Whisky Festival will be coming to the city for the first time this year, plus we’re working with local farmers and producers for the Big Sussex Market and the weekly Churchill Square Farmer’s Market.

Beer and cider lovers are amply catered for with the three day CAMRA Sussex Beer Festival at Hove Town Hall, whilst ‘Come Dine With Me’ TV show fans can enjoy our very own version – Open House Dining.

Restaurants, cafés, retailers, pubs and bars will be taking advantage of the festival and offering special menus and one-off foodie events – full details will be on the website and in the official festival brochure available from the end of February.

So for a truly tasty 2010, tuck in to the Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival!

Following the huge success of the Chilean Casa Lapostolle wine evening in the latter half of 2009, Head Chef Andy Mackenzie has once again teamed up with Nick Hillman of Wineservice UK to create a sumptuous evening of gourmet food and fabulous wines to match. Nick Hillman works closely with the team at drakes, supplying the hotel with stunning wines from both the Old and New World. On this occasion, we have chosen the Bourgogne region of France as the destination for our next gourmet experience.
