British Food Fortnight runs from Saturday 21 September to Sunday 6 October, timing which is deliberately chosen to coincide with Harvest Festival.
What do apples, venison, blackberries, oysters, crab, parsnips and runner beans have in common? Yes, they’re all in season during British Food Fortnight.

This celebration was conceived because although there are numerous food initiatives, projects and events across Britain, there was no overall flagship event bringing the whole of British food together. So the fortnight promotes all that is good about our home-grown food: more types of cheese than France, 350 types of potato providing a range of tastes and textures, and seasonal vegetables that provide just what we need at that time of year.
As always there is a lot more information and a list of events over on the British Food Fortnight website at www.lovebritishfood.co.uk.
