Next July, visit also the International Food Market.
For the third year running Bolton's Victoria Square will be the setting for its popular International Food Market with traders from France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, India, Tunisia, Iran, Ireland and many more.
The market will also include some of the UK’s finest food producers just to show that “Food GB” can hold its own on the international stage.
The event promises to be a gastronomic experience that will tickle every ones taste buds. Some of the featured traders will include the grandly named Bolkolord Kahlhoffer with his giant Garlic Stall selling different varieties of Garlic Bread all of which he cooks while you wait. Another German trader is Karl Heinz with his traditional Round Stall (Schwencklegrille) selling Bratwurst Sausages. Holland will have a number of traders present including Peter Visser with his traditional Profitjes Stall (Mini Dutch Pancakes) and if you speak to him nicely he may add a splash of Grand Marnier for good measure and Dick Koetze with a vast array of traditional Dutch Food products and of course those famous waffles. From Brittany in France there will be a very special baker who is affectionately know as “crazy horse” monsieur Le Hors, who will be filling the air with that wonderful smell of freshly baked bread. Top this off with cheeses from France, Ireland, England and Holland, add fine selection of olives and tapenades, charcuterie, pates, finished off with a selection of fine rich biscuits and cakes from Brittany and the people of Bolton are in for a terrific feast are in for a real treat. If it’s something a little more spicy then you can try some of the best curries from our Indian Cuisine trader or sample another French favourite potato provencale with spicy chicken wings or spicy cous cous from Tunisia. From Cordoba in Spain there will be Julian Jimenez with his traditional Paella stall cooked to an old family recipe (its top secret so don’t ask, he won’t tell you but he will show you how to make it). On Fridays he usually makes his special seafood paella but you have to be quick or else it’s gone. The market will also feature "Meats from around The World" one of Rick Steins UK Food Hero's. Aaron Watson the proprietor of Meats from around The World will be in Bolton selling exotic and rare meats such as Ostrich, Wild Boar, Springbok, Crocodile, Kangaroo and Venison. Customers will be able to sample a fine range of burgers made from these meats or buy pre packed steaks for eating later. The Market will also feature some of the North West’s finest food producers as well as fine food producers from around the UK including the Pie maker to the Royal Houses of Sandringham and Windsor and a small contingent of wonderful food traders from the Emerald Isle. Market Place is huge supporters of British Food products and promotes Food GB whenever we get the opportunity. “We have some wonderful food producers in the UK and we don’t often get the chance to see them out in this kind of setting so we hope to encourage more of them to bring their product out to the general public. Market Place are also hoping they can persuade the Ginger Bread House to pay a visit, a great favourite with the children young and old with a huge array of sweets, fudge and of course Belgian chocolates to die for. It’s going to be a mouth watering experience.
