LOCAL chefs will be cooking up a treat or two at this month’s Rugby Autumn Food and Drink Festival.
The free event will feature a pop-up kitchen in Regent Place Gardens, hosting a variety of demonstrations on how to make the perfect Scotch eggs, sweet focaccia, cupcakes, pizza dough, cocktails – and one or two surprises.
The chefs will offer handy tips, chat with budding cooks, and offer samples of their creations.
Rugby First Business Director Linda Lowne said: “The pop-up kitchen is always one of the highlights of the event, and this year there will be some great local talent on show conjuring up all sorts of delicious recipes and dishing out some tasty tips, so make sure you pay it a visit.”
Also on the menu will be live music, family entertainment, and over 50 stalls selling food and drink from local businesses, farms and producers.
Linda added: “I am delighted to say this year our stall bookings are full and I am looking forward to a fantastic event.
“As always, we want people to come and enjoy the event but at the same time visit and support their local town centre businesses.
“Finally, we would like to extend a massive thank you to Rugby Borough Council, Rugby Baptist Church and St Andrew’s Church for their continued support of the festival”.
The Rugby Autumn Food and Drink Festival takes place on Saturday September 20 between 11am and 5pm in Regent Street, Regent Place and St Andrew’s Church Gardens.
