Lampeter Food Feast

This weekend was the Lampeter Food Festival fundraising event at Victoria Hall, with around 70 people for a three course meal with band and bar. Indeed it was a feast.  Although the Victoria Hall is quite large and sparse the atmosphere once tables in and dressed and bar on stage was great.  The music  - Pigs Foot band, not too loud or quiet.  Tables nicely decorated with locally supplied red and white tablecloths. The night couldn't go wrong.

Wassabi nuts kept the crowd happy whilst they tried some local beers and organic wines from the bar until first course went out.

To start there was...

• Haddock Chowder -  http://www.smoked-foods.co.uk f not too creamy and a hint of delicate olive oil, fresh warming dill .  It tasted perfect.  
• Leek and Hafod Cheese Tartlet - needs no introduction 
• Pressed ham hock terrine  - topped with a very welsh rarebit.
