Great Food was at the BBC Summer Good Food Show at Birmingham’s NEC yesterday (June 13-17).
The price to have a stand at this show is £257 per square metre, so it’s a serious investment. However, the show is extremely well attended and pulled in 112,000 visitors in 2011.
We tracked down some’ exhibitors…
Nicola and Michael Reece from Midshires Rose Veal, which is sold through Stoneleigh Park Farm Shop, Stoneleigh, Coventry. The veal comes from bull calves from Daventry, Northamptonshire
