Scotland’s biggest food and drink show comes home
Scotland’s biggest and best FREE consumer food and drink event, ‘Enjoy the Taste of Scotland’, returns to Glasgow’s George Square on 28th and 29th May, following last years road show tour. Hosted and organised by Tesco, Enjoy the Taste of Scotland, is an annual celebration of locally sourced food and drink which brings together over 100 suppliers to show case and raise awareness of the breadth and diversity of local produce available in Scotland. This year’s event, sponsored by Quality Meat Scotland and Robert Wiseman Dairies, expects to attract in excess of 20,000 visitors to its George Square venue. Angus Bell, Senior Local Buying Manger for Tesco in Scotland said: “Enjoy the Taste of Scotland celebrates the very best of Scottish fare from our many local food and drink producers. Visitors will be able to find out more about the diverse range of products from Scotland, and have a great day out at the same time. We work with over 150 Scottish producers and are committed to getting even closer to local suppliers across Scotland - this event is testament to that.” Visitors to the event will be able to take a culinary tour through a series of regional marquees, browsing delicious food stalls representing the best of Scottish produce, meeting enthusiastic producers, company owners and sampling local food and drink from all over Scotland. In the Tesco Cookery Theatre Glasgow’s Restaurant Association will host cookery demos from numerous Scottish chefs and well-known food and drink personalities. The Robert Wiseman Dairies Family entertainment zone will appeal to a younger audience and includes everything from face painting, balloon modelling and fully-interactive farmyard themed-games.
