I’ve been working with the farming community in Sussex for most of my career, so felt more than just a hint of pride as our food and drink producers were celebrated at the Sussex Food and Drink Awards last week.
It was a real red carpet event, attended by the great and the good in their glad rags. I was there to represent Mayo Wynne Baxter Sussex Solicitors as dignified sponsor of the Sussex Drink Producer of the Year. This was deservedly won by Hepworth Brewery in Horsham. They make the delicious Hepworth Sussex, a real ale brewed only from hops and barley grown in this county.
The winners of all seven categories are real champions and have done so much to promote local produce and I applaud them for their passion, integrity and their capacity for sheer hard work.
And hats off to the chefs and staff at the East Sussex National who created a fabulous five course meal almost entirely from Sussex produce. I was amazed at the variety and quality of what we have on our doorstep – cheese, beef, seafood, fruit, vegetables, dairy produce, beer and wine. It seems we can even produce delicious red wine, something I never would have thought possible a few years ago. Now there’s no excuse for not eating local – thank goodness I live in Sussex!
