The delights of the Continent are coming to Caterham for the Food Festival this Sunday, 12th June from 9am-5pm.

Croydon Road in Caterham Valley will be transformed into a bustling market place. Professional continental market traders from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Holland, Poland wearing traditional costumes will be selling high quality products including Britanny biscuits,olives, Swedish cider, Italian nougat, pungent cheeses, saucissons, Tartiflette from the Alps, charcuterie, fresh breads, croissants and much, much more! Or, for those of you with a sweet tooth, there will also be freshly cooked crepes. All of which can be washed down with wonderful Muscadet wines from a family vineyard in Frontignan.

As well as the fine edible goods, there will also be a wide range of products on sale including handbags and leather items, Marseille soaps, lavender, children toys and pashminas. There really will be something for everyone!

Most of the products on sale will come from 'the terroir' (the land) of the stall holder, where they are produced by small organisations such as family businesses, farms or small factories using traditional methods, maintaining a high standard of quality.

All of the traders will also wear their traditional local costume from 100 years ago, as well as decorating their stall to represent the area of the country they have come from providing a true flavour of the continent!

Local restaurants will also be serving food outside, from breakfast to afternoon teas.
