Tong Garden Centre food festival

Food Hall manager, Andrew Tyers said: “We’re excited and proud to host our third celebration of food and drink. We welcome some of our fantastic local and regional suppliers to the Food Hall.
?
“Over the weekend, visitors will be able to meet the makers and try many food and drink products before they buy. They will discover something they have never tried before.”
?
On both days, members of the in house butchery and bakery teams will be on hand to share their expertise, hints and tips. They will also showcase some of their hand made produce for visitors to try.
