Love Food...Love Croydon

Croydon Food Festival has now come to a close and there have been hundreds of exhibitors who have supported the 2008 event.

Thousands of visitors came to taste the world in Croydon this October and footfall figures for the Town Centre have increased compared to the previous year. The successful programme was coordinated by Croydon Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with key sponsors and partners to offer a diverse range of free events and activities.

 

This year, we are pleased that celebrity chefs Simon Boyle and Malcolm John contributed to the programme. Live cooking demonstrations from local restaurateurs wowed the crowds and the specialist food markets and Surrey Street Museum were also well received by the public.

 

Over forty restaurants took part in the month long festival offering special offers to Discount Card holders. The discount card offers were a hit with the public as the card could be used to purchase food or dine out at a reduced cost and there was a variety of special offers on food and drink.

 

The festival proved that if you love Food, then you will Love Croydon; next year's festival promises to be even better, so watch this space for more details.
