Brimming larder on menu at this year’s Royal Highland Show

This year’s Royal Highland Show will welcome an impressive line-up of chefs and host an exceptional range of food and drink from the very best producers in Scotland and beyond.

That is the promise from organisers of the event, which takes place from Thursday June 23 to Sunday June 26 and is celebrating its bicentenary with a laden larder of the most exciting food and drink made by passionate producers from the length and breadth of the country.

The newly designed Scotland’s Larder exhibition space will be a feast for the eyes as well as the belly. Thoughtfully designed layouts will allow visitors to explore regional delights and speak to food and drink producers, who are excited to be back at the show with their new creations.

A bothy will be the new centrepiece of Scotland’s Larder, catered by Mimi’s Bakehouse – a firm favourite from its host city, Edinburgh.

Want to taste the best? Then don’t miss a visit to the Champion’s Corner where you can meet the crème de la crème of dairy, honey, bread and cheese producers as chosen by this year’s esteemed panel of judges.

Looking to learn from the best? Then head to the Food for Thought Conference and Cookery Theatre where you’ll meet dedicated award-winning chefs, authors and farmers giving their time to share their passion for Scottish produce, including a lively bunch from the Highlands and Islands Presidential Initiative – Lady Claire Macdonald of Kinloch, Taste of Shetland, Ghillie Basan, Lynbreck Farm, Bad Girl Bakery and the Budge Sisters.

Commenting on this foody heaven, Royal Highland Show’s chairman, Bill Gray said: ‘Food has played such a central part of our wellbeing during the last two years that we felt it should be given a leading role at this year’s bicentenary show.

‘Our Champion’s Corner gives our best producers a place where they can celebrate their accolades and share their best produce with food lovers. And we have once again gathered the most awarded chefs, authors and farmers from across Scotland to share their passion for food. Essentially, great food can make a great day out even better and that is what we strive to serve up at this year’s bicentenary show!’
