Local Food Feast success

Chef Oliver Rowe and his voluntary kitchen brigade served up a four-course, sumptuous, seasonal supper, which showcased some of the capital’s finest growers and small batch producers.

During the evening, guests also enjoyed personal food stories from BBC Food Programme presenter Sheila Dillon, with a lucky few bagging delicious lots in a silent auction and raffle.

The event was held both as a celebration of the best of London’s local larder and as the start of a crowdfunding campaign to help secure the future of The Jellied Eel magazine, supporting small producers and growers, and the rest of LFL’s work as the voice for good food in London.
