"Thanks so much for inviting us to have a stand at the last Love Food Festival. We were really pleased with how many drinks we sold and because the atmosphere was relaxed we had time to talk to customers. This helped us make sales and we were able to get some very useful feedback about our products. We also made great contacts with other traders. One deli is now stocking our drinks, another is interested and we are discussing a potential joint project with a third stallholder.

Another outcome was that we were invited to exhibit at Taste, the South Gloucestershire Local Food and Drink Festival, by a school who found us via the Love Food website... so thanks again for you help!" - Victoria, Lovely Drinks Ltd.

"Within the space of six months Lorna Knapman has single handedly-developed and managed a new and highly successful family-friendly food event. Love Food has proved to be a great asset to the programme of events at Paintworks; it’s vibrant and fun and genuinely celebrates the best food and drink that the region has to offer. The wonderful atmosphere and immense popularity of the event is a testament to Lorna’s hard work and I look forward to the future of Love Food at Paintworks." - Natalie Franco - Paintworks.

"We had a stall at the event on 31.08.08 and had a great time. It was the first time that we had ever exhibited at any event - complete newbies, and because of this really positive experience, we would like to apply for a stand at the next two Love Food Festivals. We thought that the event was organised really well and that there was a steady flow of people. We received some good feedback and even have the possibility of a couple of commission pieces as well. It was very flattering to be asked by people "where is your shop"? We came away from the event with a real buzz. Thank you very much for helping us to get started on the road to hopefully a successful new opportunity." - Laura & Wayne - Lottie Jasmin Designs

"We had a great time at the festival and the girls really enjoyed the children activities (especially the pasta making. We took them home and my daughter who is a fussy eater enjoyed them for her tea). It was a brilliant day and great opportunity to enjoy good quality food as well as discover new green / environmentally friendly products. We look forward to next one." - Domino.
