Festival Beer Guide 10
We love Beer!
It’s fair to say that the Ludlow Spring Festival has really grown
into an event in its own right over the last few years and in 2012
there’s an even greater mix of things to see and do. Don’t worry
you’ll still find more than 140 carefully selected real ales, local
ciders, perry and wines at the event and we haven’t cut back on
the live music or gorgeous classic cars either. What you will find
however, are more artisan producers with their mouth watering
food and an ever-expanding range of talks and demos. There
will be plenty to sample and savour, so come along and drink in
the lively atmosphere at Ludlow Castle.

About our Trails
This year we have three
trails... come on Saturday for
the Pâté Trail and Sunday for
the Pudding Trail, with foraging
walks throughout the weekend.
Your mission is to score
each sample. The best ranked
pudding or pâté will win the
prestigious ‘People’s Choice
2012’ Award.
It costs £3 to take part and
you’ll need to pick up a
judging form early, as there are
only 200 places for each day.
14
Saturday’s Pâté Trail is a
savoury treat. You will try an
exciting array of flavours and
textures at some of Ludlow’s
finest cafes, pubs, restaurants
and hotels.
On a relaxing Sunday, what
could be better than a stroll
across town, taking in the extra
50 craft and food exhibitors in
the marketplace. There will also
be additional classic and
vintage vehicles to enjoy. But
make sure you leave some time
to enjoy the sumptuous
desserts of the Pudding Trail.
We would recommend arriving
early, as there is such a lot to do.
If you like the idea of
delicious, quality, fresh food
that’s also free then the
foraging talks will be right up
your street. Expert Liz Knight
from Forage Fine Foods will be
guiding you around town
looking for edible treats to
perk up your everyday
dishes – just meet at the
cannon outside the castle at
2pm to take part.

A Big
Thank You!
Happy
Birthday!
Graeme Kidd was a
connoisseur of fine food and
ale, and co-founder of the
Ludlow Food Festival. We are
honoured to say his memory
and contribution to the festival
lives on today through the
Graeme Kidd Bursary. Aimed
at young people aged 16-25
who want to forge a career in
food and drink, the bursary
awards a grant of up to £1,000.
Applications have been
coming in since February and
the Bursary will be awarded
for the second time this year.
Without a lot of people this
Festival simply couldn’t take
place, so we need to say
“thank you” to the following:
• To SIBA, our local brewers
and the huge team of Food
Festival volunteers. Their
time and effort help make
this a special event – cheers!
• To the people of Ludlow, the
local businesses, guest
speakers and of course to
the food & drink producers.
• And last but not least YOU
without whom none of this
would mean anything!
• To anyone we’ve forgotten
your help is appreciated!
Ludlow Food Festival comes of
age this year – we’re 18! So
don’t forget to put 7th-9th
September in your diary.
More than 160 local
producers will be exhibiting,
alongside free demos and
talks from the finest chefs, food
writers and artisans. The everpopular Ale & Sausage Trails
run throughout the weekend,
while food connoisseurs won’t
want to miss the tutored Taste
Workshops. We’ve also got a
foodie Book Festival running
alongside the main event this
year so there’s plenty for the
whole family to enjoy.
Fun Pasta Classes for Young Cooks
Kids love pasta, so if you want to get them
cooking, the Spring Festival’s pasta making
classes with Eckington Manor Cookery
School are the perfect opportunity to set
them on their culinary way. Ideal for
children 8 and upwards, the workshops last
approximately half an hour and run
throughout Saturday and Sunday. They will
be taking place in the round tower within
the Inner Bailey starting at half past the
hour, every hour.
At the end of the class your little ones
will have made their own ravioli and
tagliatelle to take away and cook at home.
Places are limited and children will need
to be accompanied by an adult throughout
the workshop. Book online in advance at
www.eckingtonmanorcookeryschool.co.uk
or make you way to the round tower on
the day.

Wild Food
A Passion
for Foraging
With a natural curiosity and a love of
seasonal, fresh food, Liz Knight has turned a
hobby into a successful business
Liz Knight out foraging. Pictures courtesy of Oliver Edwards
Liz Knight’s enthusiasm for
foraging is infectious. Having
spent half an hour talking to
her I seriously wanted to
abandon my computer (and
dare I say this feature) to get
myself out in the countryside
and pick from nature’s larder.
For Liz foraging has always
been part of her life. She was
one of those children that
16
never went home immediately,
preferring instead to explore
the local park or the
hedgerows with all its exciting
new discoveries. It’s a feeling
that’s never gone away, even
when she found herself in a
corporate sales job she
hankered after weekends in
the country.
Then, as for most of us, life
took an unexpected turn;
having moved to the country
she was made redundant, but
as she explains, what was
undoubtedly the poorest time
in her life financially, actually
turned out to be the richest
emotionally and her love of
foraging was reignited.
She says: “It was spring and I
didn’t drive. Living in an
Ludlow Spring Festival: 11th, 12th, 13th May 2012
Wild Food
isolated rural area I decided to
go for a walk and found myself
picking elderflowers.
Suddenly I realised I was
happy, far more so than I had
been in my old corporate job.”
As a lover of history, Liz was
also fascinated by the way we
used to grow and eat. A part
time job working with an older
generation also confirmed to
her our lost connection with
the food that grows around us
everyday.
She says: “Most people
won’t realise that a lot of things
we consider as weeds and
flowers were actually
cultivated as food crops many
years ago. You only have to
look to the Middle East to
realise how important the
flavour of rose is, yet most of
us wouldn’t consider our rose
bushes a food source.”
Having bowled her friends
over with her unusual
ingredients and recipes such
as elderflower tarts, she
decided there had to be a
market for wild food and
Forage Fine Foods was born.
Now going eighteen months
she has gathered a loyal
following of fans, supplies local
farm shops and has appeared
in national publications such as
Countryfile magazine. The
business has also come to the
attention of a few high-end
retailers in the capital that she
can’t talk too much about at the
moment.
Her core range comprises
four key products inspired by
www.ludlowspringfestival.co.uk
the English landscape and her
travels: a rose petal preserve,
wild herb rub, pontack – a
wild sauce that can be used
like Worcestershire sauce and
an exotic Wild Rose el
Hanout – which can be used
over meat and vegetables to
add amazing flavour.
In addition, she works with
the seasons, foraging for
ingredients to make wonderful
of-the-moment products.
However, as she explains, she
doesn’t want us all to get too
hung up on only eating things
in season as she explains: “You
can eat what you like as long
as you know how to preserve it
and use it later. Unfortunately
it’s another art we’ve lost in the
UK and something I’m
encouraging everyone to
remaster.”
While Forage Fine Foods
may still be a relatively young
company, Liz has ambitious
plans in terms of products and
also a firm idea of how she
wants the business to put back
into the community.
We wish her well and look
forward to her talk at the
Spring Festival (Sunday on the
Olive Stage at 12noon). We will
also have a foraging walk
around Ludlow to see what we
can find in hedgerows and
gardens so meet us at the
cannon in front of the castle at
2pm. For Liz’s spring time
Salsa Verde recipe, which you
can make either with wild or
store bought ingredients, visit
www.foodfestival.co.uk
“Most people
won’t realise
that a lot of
things we
consider as
weeds and
flowers were
actually
cultivated as
food crops
many years
ago”

in the countryside.

About the Festival
Who are we?
The Ludlow Food Festival turns eighteen this
year so here’s a quick run down of who we are
and why we keep doing what we do!
Our main festival in September 2011
The Ludlow Food Festival was
founded to promote the small
producers and independent
businesses of Ludlow and the
Marches and it’s the same
principle we work to today.
We hand pick all exhibitors
against strict geographical
and quality criteria and we
don’t pay any of the amazing
experts, chefs or producers
who do such fantastic talks and
demonstrations each year.
In fact as a not-for-profit
organisation we run a tight
ship across the board. The
18
directors give their time free
and even 18 years on we only
employ one full time and one
part time person. The helpful
people who steward our
events are our loyal and
dedicated band of 120+
volunteers – without them the
festival simply could not
happen. Maybe you’d like to
become a part of our merry
band of helpers?
We’re always looking for
ways to give back to producers
and the community; a few
years ago a bursary was set up
to help young people kickstart
their food and drink careers
and last year an exhibitor
bursary was introduced so new
or smaller producers could be
part of the festival.
We also raise money for
local and international
charities including Self Help
Africa and last year the
Mayor’s charity, The Ludlow
Foyer.
We really appreciate your
support in visiting our events,
it’s because of you that we
continue to do what we do.
Ludlow Spring Festival: 11th, 12th, 13th May 2012
Festival Announcements
Are you the Best
in the Marches?
Do your friends go crazy over your cakes?
Are your pork pies a real prize? If you have
a talent for making or baking you should
enter our illustrious competitions
The Competitions have always
been a really popular part of the
festival with talented and
passionate members of the
public, as well as professionals,
submitting their finest creations
for scrutiny. In 2011 the way the
Competitions were judged was
changed to make them an event
in their own right.
The Competitions now take
place in late August with a panel
of judges sampling all manner of
delectable dishes. Categories
include bread, cakes, pork pies,
sandwiches, jam, non-alcoholic
fruit cordial and the top award
‘Best New Product’.
Although we had a record
number of entries last year, we
didn’t have any home bakers
enter the bread category, which
was such a shame. So if you
bake your own bread then get
practicing now ready for the big
day!
If you would like to submit an
entry check the Food Festival’s
website for details or contact the
organisers.
More recycling at this year’s festival
The festival tries year after year
to be as green as possible; right
from the outset 18 years ago we
had the food miles issue sorted
and now we have recycling and
minimal packaging in hand too.
This year all food packaging
and plastic beer glasses are
compostable, although you can
buy a keepsake souvenir glass
tankard for just £2.00. There will
be plenty of recycling points
around the event supplied by
our partner Cwm Harry based
in Newtown. So help us make
the festival as green as possible
by putting your waste in the
appropriate bins.

Beer Festival
What’s Brewing?
Brought to you in association with SIBA, the
Small Independent Brewers’ Association, the
Ludlow Spring Festival has an astonishing
array of finely crafted beers for you to sample.
It’s also where the SIBA Wales
& West region determines
which beers go through to the
SIBA National Beer
Competition 2012.
Brewers at the festival will
vie for gold awards in fifteen
categories. But be warned,
winners can sell out very
quickly over the weekend so
More Beer here!
make sure you arrive early to
taste your favourites, or why
not join us for our Friday night
‘Meet the Brewer’ preview
from 5pm.
With more than 140 beers
on offer, your hardest decision
will probably be which to try
first, and then what to try next!
Will you be drawn to an
enticing name or the beer’s
characteristics?
To make sure you know your
Porters from your Stouts here’s
a handy guide to the different

Cook Book Competition
Hobson’s cooking
The Hobsons Funkie Food & Ale Challenge is
open and we'd love to include your recipe
ideas in our new cookbook!
A classic dish with a twist or
something entirely new, it
could be Dad’s triumph in the
kitchen, crafted by an award
winning chef, or Nan’s secret
recipe... or something
completely different.
Basic rules:
• It must incorporate a
HOBSONS ALE as a key
ingredient.
• It has to be FUNKIE but not
fussy; easy enough for
anyone to try at home.
• Recipe ideas can be sent by
post or via our website.
• Closing date - 1st July 2012.
• A panel of expert judges
will select the best 20
recipes for inclusion in the
book and this will be
launched at the 2012 Ludlow
Food Festival.
The overall winner - “Hobsons
Funkie Food & Ale Master Chef
2012” will win a first edition
cook book, VIP Festival tickets,
some Hobsons ales and their
dish will also be prepared live
during a food demonstration at
the Festival. So “get into that
kitchen and rattle those pans!”
We’re cooking up something new . . .

Leominster to arrive in Ludlow
between 11am and 11.30am,
and a further selection of
classic vehicles and
motorcycles will be displayed
in a variety of venues around
the town.
Winning certificates will be
awarded on Sunday afternoon.

Ludlow Spring Festival: 11th, 12th, 13th May 2012
Brewery Tours
Brewery Tours
Take a trip down town to Ludlow Brewing
Company’s amazing new home and enjoy a
tour round the brewery
The Food Festival has never
been confined to the castle
walls and we are always
delighted when we can
highlight other activities
around town. During the
Spring Festival, Ludlow
Brewery will be running
brewery tours throughout
Friday, Saturday and Sunday at
11am and 3pm.
It’s just a short walk down
Corve Street into Station Drive,
or if you’re coming by train,
then there’s really no excuse
for not visiting, as the brewery
is located in a specially
converted railway shed, just
over 50 metres north of Ludlow
railway station.
Capable of producing over
½ million pints per year, the
brewery produces award
winning artisan ales including
Ludlow Best and Ludlow Gold.
The brewery also won a trio of
awards at last year’s Food
Festival – Gold and Silver
People’s Choice for Black
Knight and Boiling Well, along
with the Professional’s Choice
Gold Award for Stairway to
Paradise.
