Talkin’ ‘Bout A (Welsh Food) Revolution
Insurrection is not the first thing that comes to mind when you visit Abergavenny. The pretty market town slumbers easily in the protective shadow of the Blorenge (the answer to a rhyming nightmare surely) and Sugar Loaf mountains that tower over it and in the warm green cushion of the five hills known, wonderfully, as the “Llanwenarth Breast”.
Sniff the air and you get a whiff of tranquillity, serenity even - nothing to suggest that if you come here on a weekend when Summer is slowly turning into Autumn you will witness the place fizzing and sizzling as the home of Britain’s best food festival and that you’ll find, if you didn’t know already, that there is a food revolution going on in Wales and Abergavenny Food Festival is its flag bearer.
