This year will also see a selection of our major food suppliers: O’Kane Poultry, Kettyle Irish Foods, Get Fresh, Ulster Pork and Bacon Forum and Cookstown.
The Entertainment
There’s a great menu for the entertainment too – everything from Flash Harry, to Mary Coughlan, to Les McKeown’s Bay City Rollers. Something for everyone there!
A word to the wise
Entry to the event doesn’t mean that you get to taste the food! You’ll need to buy Taste Fest food tokens which are priced at 50p each – in blocks of 20 for £10, and “top-ups” of 10 tokens for £5 after that. These tokens can and will disappear at an alarming rate – so bring some spare cash to buy those precious top-ups.
Kelly and I will venture down again this year, although we are going to get there earlier in the day than we did last year.
