What I’m looking forward to:
I’ve been to 4 ( possibly more) shows now and loved each one. It’s a pretty exciting place for any food lover. This year I’m really looking forward to seeing Tom Kerridge in action as I love him a little bit. I’m hoping I get to say a quick hello to him too? A bit much to ask maybe .. Well I did get to chat to Paul Hollywood and The Hairy Bikers last year and a sneaky photo opp with Mary Berry.
I’m excited to meet the Bursary winners, the GFS champions and all of other brands on offer at the show. I want to try funny flavoured vodkas and chocolate truffles..eat pastries and cheese and taste all the oils. Looking forward to going home afterwards and sorting through my goodies and coming up with new recipes on the back of it. To being inspired by the chefs I love. To all the FOOD.

I’d love to go again as its a great chance to try out new food. Last year we took Harley and he tried and loved wild boar sausages. Can’t wait to see what else he can try this year.
Myself and my wife love to sample the fantastic foods on offer and also to check out the latest kitchen gadgets! It’s also something to do without the kids!
After spending many months in a wheelchair last year I am now active again and would love to get out and about and visit this show and sample tasty food
I love going to food festivals. You always find such wonderful products that you’ve never seen before and I always come away so inspired x
I enjoy food festivals. I like trying out the various samples on offer. Some products are expensive and it puts you off buying if you’re not sure you will like them. It’s also a good way of discovering products that you have never heard of before.
I’ve been before and I loved it – but more importantly – I am DYING to meet Michel Roux Jr!!! My absolute culinary idol. X
I would love to see all the stands and displays and see what’s new. It would be a great opportunity to sample new products and get ideas
I love the atmosphere, with the foody types,the celebs and normal folks all drawn together by the love of flavours
Opportunities to try different foods and look out for useful/fun kitchen gadgets. I also enjoy listening to cooking demos especially by celebrity chefs normally seen on TV.
I love trying new types of food
I’d love to go as my hubby has had to completely restrict his diet for medical reasons and I’m feeling uninspired and fed up of the same restricted meals. I need inspirational new ingredients and recipe ideas to get out of this rut. It’s years since I’ve had chance to go to the good food show but I know it’s the inspiration I need.
Never been and would lov to see James Martin
I think James Martin is brilliant and I watch him on a Saturday morning, but to see him live would be amazing ,and friends have said it’s a great day out
I love the Good Food Show, a great place to sample local producers and stock up on goodies
Lots of free samples and a day out with mom.
To see James Martin
I would love to go for expert tips and tastings!
Would love to go the line up looks great x
I’ve been to several of the winter shows (met the Hairy Bikers last year woohoo) but I’ve never been to the summer Good Food. I would love to go and see what new products are available for the summer season, watch and learn new recipes to share with friends over the summer months and generally have a great day out x
Would love to go to see all the gorgeous products and get ideas from top Chefs! I’d take my Mother, now i’m married and we have our gorgeous little boy, we don’t do as much together just us anymore, and we used to go to the food show together every year! 🙂
I’ve never been before and have always wanted to
I love good food, and would love to go to the Good Food Show to experience new tastes
Would like to get some tips.
Gorge samples! Bring on the food!
