On Friday, 9th March 2012, I had the pleasure of attending a gorgeous banquet organised by Helen of A Kentish Kitchen which celebrated Kentish food.
I agree with Helen's sentiments that our local food isn't celebrated enough. It's hard to find local produce in local supermarkets. Which sounds a bit off. We've got a wealth of good food on our doorsteps, our shorelines as well as beautiful countryside at our fingertips. It was great to meet like minded people.
The banquet was held at The Goods Shed in Canterbury and you can find out more about the venue here.

Lovely post, Hannah - and glad you enjoyed it all. Well done on your raffle win, too!
