Narberth Food Festival lived up to its reputation as the friendliest food festival in Wales when it welcomed happy crowds to the town at the weekend. With more stallholders than ever, a great line-up of celebrity chefs, children's activities, live entertainment and food, glorious food galore, the event defied the uncertain weather forecast to serve up another great event. "It's been a fantastic weekend and, as you would expect, Narberth was absolutely buzzing," said festival chairman Huw Jones. "Although our attendance was slightly down on last year, that didn't affect the traditional atmosphere one bit, and our stallholders have all been delighted." Amongst the happy traders were Ritec Valley Organics of Penally, which provides produce boxes to 100 customers every week. "We're really pleased with the weekend," said Ritec Valley's Nick Joseph. "We've signed up several new customers and there has been a lot of interest in what we do." A long-time supporter of the festival is award-winning Narberth butcher Andrew Rees, who always creates a special sausage to mark the event. This year, he chose the unusual taste combination of black pudding and apricot, and was pleasantly surprised at the response from the public. "We've made around 5,000 sausages for the festival, and they have pretty much all gone," he said. A quartet of top chefs packed out the festival's Food Theatre with their demonstrations. They were festival patron Angela Gray, Will Holland from Coast, Saundersfoot; Ludovic Dieumegard from The Harbourmaster, Aberaeron and Indian food specialist Anjula Devi. Angela, who also hosted a spice rub masterclass, said : "This is such a welcoming and lovely festival. I always look forward to coming to Narberth - it's so enjoyable and has a unique atmosphere." The festival's theme of Well Being was explored by schoolchildren at Education Day, and also inspired the Narberth traders' shop window competition, won by The Golden Sheaf.
