Treat Your Tastebuds At The Country's Biggest Food And Drink Show -
The BBC Good Food Show Birmingham

 

 


Visit the BBC Good Food Show Birmingham at The NEC between 26 and 30 November for a truly tasty day out! The country's biggest food and drink show will feature demonstrations from top celebrity chefs and a host of quality exhibitors in all areas of food and drink. Whether it is in the halls on more than 500 stands or at our special theatre sessions or workshops, the show will give you the opportunity to taste food and drink you have never tried before and give you the confidence to buy and serve it at home afterwards.

The Supertheatre sponsored by Sainsbury's will see top chefs including Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, James Martin, John Torode, Gary Rhodes and Ainsley Harriott demonstrating their expertise and inspiring enthusiastic audiences. In the Kitchen Clinic the focus will be on mastering those tricky culinary techniques and the Good Food Magazine British Theatre sessions will be packed with practical advice from all your favourite chefs including Lesley Waters, Rachel Allen and the Hairy Bikers, as well as the Good Food magazine team. The Drinks Tasting Theatre will give all visitors the chance to learn more about wines, beers and spirits from the experts and be guided through what to look for when stocking the wine cellar and drinks cabinet.

With so much mass produced food in the shops now, Slow Food UK will be running Taste Workshops to encourage visitors to learn more about how the best food should taste. Bookable in advance, these sessions will be run by producers who have passed Slow Food's strict "good, clean and fair" criteria and whose products are exceptional in every way.

Continuing with the theme of great tasting food, a vast array of the very best will be available in the Producers' Village. Here visitors will be able to sample and buy top quality food from small and select producers that you won't find in the supermarkets. Where better to buy that something special for your next dinner party or your Christmas entertaining?

Drinks, the Fine Wine, Beer and Spirits Show will feature all the seasonal favourites along with some great ideas for throwing a drinks party with a difference. And why not take the opportunity to get ahead with the gift shopping too. Kitchen appliances and dining accessories will join with gourmet gadgets and food and drink gifts to offer plenty of ideas even for the most difficult person on the list!

If you are looking to treat someone to a meal out at Christmas but can't decide where to go, then The Restaurant Experience may be the answer. Here you can experience the very best culinary delights available at some of Birmingham's top restaurants. Presented in special taster-sized portions, you can mix and match your gourmet treat with a starter, main course and dessert from different restaurants - or if you have a big appetite you could even try a dish from each of the 10 restaurants present! Restaurants presenting their finest for visitors to enjoy will include Le Becasse, Deolali, Must, Thai Edge, Liaison and L'ortolan.

A day at the BBC Good Food Show Birmingham is a must for all those with a passion for food and drink. Why not take along a friend - what better early Christmas present could there be? Various ticket packages are available including a special £75 VIP ticket which includes:
