MORE than 5,000 visitors were attracted to this year's renowned Loch Fyne Food Fair at the weekend. The celebrated event is now in its 21st year.
Alongside Loch Fyne Oysters own seafood stands, stalls included Food From Argyll producers; Winston Churchill Venison, Barbreck Farms, Bumble Puddings. The food tent also featured other Scottish producers such as Great Glen Game, Orkney Herrings, Arbroath Smokies, Crystal Shortbread, and Ayrshire Confections. There were three bars stocked by Fyne Ales, wines from the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and the Spencerfield Spirit Company.
Table talk sessions ran throughout the two days, giving people a chance to meet those producing the products showcased at the Fair. People who attended the sessions were able to meet with the producers, try their products and talk about their experiences in the food industry. Saturday night saw the return Rusty Nail, who performed for the Loch Fyne Food Fair ceilidh.
Bruce Davidson, managing director at Loch Fyne Oysters, said: “It was amazing to see such a great turnout at the Food Fair this year, especially as we were celebrating its 21st birthday. Everyone looked to be having a great time trying the remarkable range of produce from the local area. We’re delighted to have held an event like this for all the local families and visitors from further afield to enjoy.”
Loch Fyne started out with one inspirational idea – to grow oysters in the clear, fertile waters of Loch Fyne. It has since developed into a cluster of businesses whose success is built on an honest approach to superb quality food.Loch Fyne Oysters work closely with the Marine Conservation Society and is one of its Oceans 25 Ambassadors.
