THOUSANDS of “foodies” descended on a seaside town yesterday for its fourth annual food festival.
Organisers described the Saltburn Food Festival’s turnout as its busiest ever day, as the town’s Milton Street was turned into an enormous gourmet market.
More than 80 independent local food producers from across the region took part in the event.
Special guest chefs including Mark Greenaway from BBC2’s Great British Menu and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch cooked up treats at the Festival’s live Cookery Theatre.
The day also included a festival fringe around the town, a family kitchen for children, outdoor dining and picnic areas.
Festival Director Lorna Jackson said: “It’s been our busiest festival yet.
“I’m very proud to both live and work in Saltburn. It’s an amazing place, and I hope everyone who came today had a great time and will enjoy coming back to visit right throughout the year.”
Saltburn’s next monthly Farmers Market is held on Saturday, September 10.
