Welcome to a Celebration of Slow Food!

Beamish & McGlue with Sarah Coursey present the West Norwood Slow Food Festival, a FREE event with incredible food experiences on offer. Slow Food is food that you cook from start to finish. It does not have to be organic or grown in your garden (although it tastes much better if it is). It is simply food that you chop and slice and blend and bake; food infused with love and care, the sort of food you’d like to share.

The community of West Norwood is teeming with producers, allotments, cooks, bakers, picklers, coffee roasters, chocolatiers, and so much more … and our Festival aims to bring the excitement of this cornucopia of food to Londoners on one fabulous, fun-filled Saturday in March (31st, save the date).  Expect great things!
