Kingham Plough Annual Market May 6th

A few months ago, I met Miles and Emily at The Kingham Plough for the first time, as I enjoyed a truly delicious supper with the ever-entertaining Mark Glynne-Jones of "Jump to" design agency. We got talking and I soon found out that they hold an annual market for artisan food producers in Spring. So, several months later, I received this note to invite us to join them this year...

"The Kingham Plough’s annual market, featuring some of the finest Cotswolds producers and artisans, promises to attract even more stallholders and visitors this year."

To be held on Sunday 6th May from 10.30am-2pm, in the garden of the Kingham Plough and with a West Country launch by Tom Parker-Bowles and Matthew Fort's new "Mr Trotter's Great British Pork Crackling", this year's event will be more prestigious than ever. Oh, and for the first time, we will be there with our fruit vinegars and NEW CHUTNEYS.

Now in its 5^th year, the market remains a festival of top quality food and drink. Many of The Kingham Plough’s local suppliers of meats, cheeses, breads, ales, ciders and liqueurs will be hosting stalls. In addition, for the first time, there will be local artisans selling their products including Serendipity Baking, Wil’s Smokehouse, Boulangerie Valentin, Wanborough Herb Nursery and hand-designed crockery from Bell Pottery.

"We are thrilled that this year's market will be bigger and better than before", said Emily Lampson, Executive Chef and Proprietor of The Kingham Plough. "We look forward to welcoming Tom Parker-Bowles and Matthew Fort as well as all our previous and new stall holders. There really will be something for everybody".

Some of the producers will be bringing animals to entertain children while parents can relax in a beautiful beer garden being created by the instant gardener, Gilly, who will be displaying his range of furniture and plants for outdoor entertaining.

There will also be the opportunity to sample some of The Kingham Plough’s delicious food including their famous burgers straight from the barbecue and a range of homemade ice creams. There will also be local beers, lagers and ciders on offer.

Once again, there will be a raffle at the event to raise money for the local primary school and nursery with generous and tempting prizes to be won.
