eturn of the rasher sees a collection of gourmet bacon baps including an option that could cure all ills - the churchwarden’s chilli challenge of a baguette filled with bacon and fiercely hot home-made chilli sauce.
Among the feast of a menu will be a Saint Pierre of brie and barbecued bacon, Spam and Deliver of a bap with barbecued bacon, spam and tomato ketchup, bacon and humus and vegetarian options.
Also at the festival will be the human fruit machine, games, books and cake stalls.
Churchwarden Andrew Wright said; “This year’s Bacon Buttie Festival is going to be great fun, and visitors are going to have really enjoyable time.
“There’ll be all the old favourites and some new attractions as well, including one or two new additions to the menu and some vegetarian options.”
Live music will feature at this year’s Bacon Buttie Festival thanks to March brass ensemble Variante who perform a selection of well-known tunes from their repertoire.
