Tottenham Ploughmans



There are three artisan food producers in Tottenham. You can’t buy their products in the area. None of them sell locally.
Wildes Cheese, hand made in Tottenham.
Flourish Bakery based just off the High Road sell at farmers markets in London and wholesales to restaurants.
Redemption Brewery sells at many bars and cafes in the west of the borough. The only place you can buy their beer in the east is at the Tottenham Conservative Club.

A few months ago I went to a talk given by Philip of Wildes Cheese at Bruce Castle. The room was packed; I was surprised that so many people wanted to know about cheese making. The people selling cheese were mobbed and sold out.

And so it came to me, bread, cheese, beer. The Tottenham Ploughmans. Working with Downhill’s Park cafĂ©  on the 8th September we’re holding the Tottenham Ploughmans picnic.
A chance to try the cheese, bread and beer made in Tottenham. The team from Redemption brewery will be there to hand out their beer.
Buy a taster plate and then buy more if you want to.  Hopefully you’ll be able to buy to take home too.
12pm - 4pm

Live music from The Tottenham Community Choir,  Cosmo House, Whilst the Cat's Away and David McTea. Chutney and pickles for sale from Living Under One Sun
There’s a facebook page with updates. 

This event seems to have touched a chord with many local people; I'm really glad. I hope it creates and inspires and leads to more good things happening. 
Thank you to all the people who have commented, taken posters, offered help. Thank you if you're coming along, it's going to be a great day. 

We've had a mention  in the Evening Standard; thanks Victoria Stewart . London's best autumn food pop-ups
