Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival
Suffolk producers gather at Snape Maltings by the river for two days of tastings and demonstrations.
Aldeburgh punches well above its size: a genuinely independent high street stacked with serious food, a Michelin-noted restaurant, award-winning fish and chips, a long-standing CAMRA pub, and one of the finest stretches of Suffolk coast on its doorstep, all without a chain restaurant in sight.
