FULL details for Ledbury’s “midwinter food festival” this February have been announced, and it's looking like a proper sizzler, as usual.

Ledbury's big Breakfast event takes place over the weekend of Friday February 1, 2 and 3, and it will be the seventh time that the best meal of the day has been turned into mass entertainment for the Herefordshire market town.

A grand total of 19 local venues in and around Ledbury will be taking part.

A spokesman said: "Each business is asked to put on their own special breakfast items for the event, and to feature local produce.

"Specials on offer this year include breakfast pancakes or muffins, hummous on toasted sourdough with tomatoes and spinach, almond croissants, Vegan tofu scramble, Shakshouka eggs, Beef Hash cakes, a Bloody Mary breakfast, Hereford Hop rarebit, Crispy fish and duck egg, Croque Monsieur, Bara Brith (vegan) with Perl Wen, and toast with Chuckleberry Jam."

The spokesman added: "Favourites are there too including Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine, French toast with bacon and syrup and an old “traditional” - devilled kidneys. A number of venues will provide you with a full Herefordshire English breakfast.

"Our butchers – Gurneys and Wallers – will feature special breakfast items to celebrate the Ledbury Big Breakfast for you to take away and enjoy, and our delis will feature a range of local produce to taste and take home to make a special breakfast."

Griff Holliday for Ledbury Food Group said, “Whatever the weather, the Ledbury Big Breakfast is a great opportunity to get out and discover some amazing local food.”
