Velvet Antlers heads to the BBC Good Food Show (and Spain)

Dave and I hit the A82 heading south on Saturday afternoon; Dave on his way to the sun and some bolt-clipping in Siurana and me on my way to the SECC for the BBC Good Food Shows’ first visit to Scotland - and it was inspiring to see how jam-packed it was. It was standing room only, way, way at the back at The Winter Kitchen and you had to have your elbows sharpened if you wanted near any of the stands that were giving away samples – all good, clean fun.

What was great about this show was that as well as all the usual suspects, there was an interesting and uplifting array of smaller, Scottish producers outshining the big boys. Coco Chocolate's small but perfectly formed stand showcased the launch of their new range ‘Tattoo Love’ with beautiful ‘end of the pier’ drawings on each individual (dare I say it?) sexy, little organic chocolate. Can you call chocolate sexy? And by the time I got round to Fablet’s stand, the canny Glaswegians had all but finished off everything he had, the crumbs that I hoovered up though did make me sorry I hadn’t got there sooner.

The good thing about Velvet Antlers though, is that soon, we’ll be launching our product shots and then there will always be Good Food on show, whenever you want it.
