The Restaurant Show with Fenmarc, London Earl Court

Fenmarc joined Select Lincolnshire on their stand at the Restaurant Show from the 12th to the 14th October at London’s Earl Court to help promote produce from Lincolnshire.

The Select Lincolnshire brand in its 5th year has become an established aid for food and drink companies from the Humber to the Wash, helping businesses to identify new routes to market. Fenmarc have been a member of the group since March 2009 and joined the event with other Lincolnshire Produce companies, all striving to push Lincolnshire forward as one of the UK’s top counties for food production.

Select Lincolnshire’s project manager Jill McCarthy told FPJ: “We noticed a gap in fresh produce promotion last year, so this year we are rectifying it. We are also holding a Meet the Chef event in two weeks time in Lincolnshire with chefs from London. This will also focus just on fruit and vegetables and will be similar to the Meet the Buyer events, where each chef will have a 30-minute appointment with a producer.”

Select Lincolnshire ambassador chef Rachel Green was also on the stand cooking up a storm for visitors to sample. “Fruit and vegetables make up a good deal of our meals in restaurants and can make or break a good dinner,” she said. “I have been shocked by the blinding lack of knowledge I have experienced at the show. There is too much focus on the basic fruit and vegetables. We should be looking beyond the basic varieties.”
