The lineup for Bayleys Friday Night Feast has been revealed today and features 18 local food and drink producers, ready to tantalise taste buds.
Returning to the forum in central Blenheim on May 10, this street party promises to serve up sterling entertainment, alongside a selection of Marlborough’s best produce and gourmet products.
“This is a great opportunity for visitors and locals alike to enjoy the festival atmosphere and unbelievably good food and drink on offer. Last year more than 6,500 dishes were served up and we’re confident that people will turn out again this year to support our amazing local food scene,” says Feast Marlborough organiser Chris Shaw.
Celebrity Chef, Al Brown will partner with Regal Salmon, serving two King Salmon dishes. The menu includes scorched Regal King Salmon served with a wasabi and ginger slaw and a spicy salmon taco.
Chris Shaw says the Bayleys Friday Night Feast programme will have something for everyone, including the smallest family members. The event kicks off at 3:30pm and will run until 8:30pm.
“We’re thrilled that Al Brown is returning with the team from Regal Salmon, he perfectly complements the line-up that includes dishes highlighting local seafood, fruit, vegetables, meat, chutneys and sauces, beer and wine. Of course there’s also plenty of dessert!”
In addition, local culinary wizards Feast Merchants, Karaka Cuisine and Vines Village Cafe are joined by food producers Flaxbourne Lamb, Mills Bay Mussels, Old Road Estate and Murphy’s Black Garlic, plus more. Add in a few of Nelson’s finest food trucks, plus ice cream from Appleby Farms and treats from Sweet Creations and everyone’s tastes will be satisfied.
The family friendly event includes the Pocket Lounge, situated on Wynan Street, where those over 18 plus can purchase a selection of our finest Marlborough organic wines and Golden Mile Brewing Beer, enjoy great music and a relaxed atmosphere. This year alcohol can be enjoyed anywhere across the event, so pick up a beautiful glass of organic Pinot or a local pilsner then head out to Market Street to enjoy any one of the outstanding dishes on offer. All served up with live entertainment from Wellington’s Shaken Not Stirred funk five piece.
Mark May 10 in your diary, the Bayleys Friday Night Feast will go ahead rain or shine. In the case of bad weather the event will relocate undercover to Alfred Street Carpark.
