Chris H Well it was a marstons where I had a not to bad roast and my wife a stake and ale pie with mash, normally I eat from the Land Rover burger bar that’s outside the door when it’s at the burnham show and that’s good as well (country bumpkins catering) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think the popularity of the show in the morning would have pleased the show organisers, the food from the Land Rover is of good quality and not muckdonnalds,I will double check at the next Burnham. Show ( by double check you can take that as two visits to the Land Rover with a thatched roof ! by the way the wife had a steak and ale pie not a stake !

Yes sorry about that. We were surprised by how busy it was! We did want to use the school's catering but they didn't want to know. For next year we are looking at a tea and coffee van as well to keep the queues down at the food van. And maybe exhibitor sandwiches...but who wants that when you can have a Bumpkins burger. The products are farm shop quality. Thanks for helping with Bunkers Lane . I didn't manage to see all the exhibits that well, just too busy so nice to see some photos and of course Callum's video.

Mark - the comment was meant to be constructive - the food from the van was top notch and worth queuing for with vefry friendly servers - we had a number of us so I did the waiting thing but lone exhibitors may have struggled a bit.....and it wasn't raining..just saying. See you next year! Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you next year! Chris Chris I take all comments as constructive. We have thought about a Gazebo....but it could blow away! We are also looking at an alternative venue in Weston. It may not be any good. And thanks for your support for next year. I enjoy organising the shows and it is a pleasure to feature top notch models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
