Lemon meringue doughnuts and pan-roasted duck were on the menu as the Didcot Food Festival returned for its seventh year.

Around 500 visitors turned out for the event at Didcot Civic Hall where more than 50 stalls were run by food and drink producers over the weekend (October 7 and 8).

Among the produce was rum and gin from Abingdon Distillery and brownies and cupcakes from Bless You Home Kitchen, which is based in Didcot.

Outside the venue, street food stalls served Indian and Thai food, pizza, burgers, and crepes.

The festival was opened on Saturday by Chariya Khattiyot, this year’s MasterChef champion, while Andrew Scott, a former contestant on the Great British Menu, ran a tutorial wine tasting session on Sunday.

Organiser Jeanette Howse, who runs the event with Christine Wallace, said: “Everybody that came was blown away by the variety and quality of the traders that were there.”
