As I write this ahead of Eastlife’s next edition, it’s hard to know
what to write about. I’m in the middle of lockdown and there
is only change to come of which we are all uncertain. It’s a
different world and food is in a different place – mainly on my
doorstep as a delivery at the moment.
I’ve been super impressed by how during this pandemic food
businesses have managed to carry on regardless, offering
treats, fine dining hampers, afternoon tea, booze boxes and
more. I’m super proud of Norfolk producers and caterers in
keeping us all fed while staying afloat.
So impressed in fact, that my fellow Norfolk food bloggers and
I will be organising some sort of ‘Norfolk Street Food Awards’ to
celebrate all the amazing food vendors that have knocked and
delivered food all over Norfolk during lockdown.
I’ve been part of The Clear Company for a few years now.
They’ve managed to organise a travelling street food fayre
offering tasty trailer food in certain towns and villages across
Norfolk. We’ve had the appearance of crumpet producers,
Kombucha bottles, bao bun kits and cocktail shaking kits –
inventiveness with food has certainly kept me going.
So, here’s to celebrating and visiting all the amazing restaurants,
cafes and pubs that so need our custom and make Christmas
the tastiest and booziest ever – we can always diet in January!
We have so much fine produce on our doorsteps and so
many amazing suppliers delivering the goods. Plus, you can’t
avoid Norwich Market. You’ll find half of the 200 stalls as food
suppliers offering everything from empanadas to Binham Blue.
And if all fails, there is a stall selling rather large knickers!
Cheers to that climb to the food fest that is Christmas. Don’t
forget to book your Christmas parties early and support local
as much as you can. Visit the Eastlife website for party venue
recommendations.
