Poorly organised! Publicity minimal, not apparent in local paper.
The Notley Arms (on published list) NOT doing it this year.
Cross Lane House (on published list) CLOSED for half of the Fest.
Stags Head Dunster IS participating but is not on list
Can you please advise which list you are referring to as far as Notley Arms and Cross Lane House is concerned? They are not on any list on this website nor on any printed material. The Stags Head Inn has just joined – you will find all the relevant information about the Stags Head on this site. We have also just checked that the link works.
Sadly we can’t force local papers to print articles about events. The Exmoor Food Fest (which doesn’t get any official funding and depends on many volunteer hours) has been promoted on The Breeze since the beginning of January. Posters are also up in bus shelters. If you would like to get involved in promoting the Exmoor Food Fest in 2017, we would be delighted to have you on board.
