Mcr food & drink festival, Harvey Nicks van


The 15th annual Manchester food and Drink Festival is in full swing until Monday 8th October. But when I passed by yesterday lunchtime the torrential rain had turned it to a ghost town. Like the rest of the UK might agree at the moment, the "about to be flooded" look is rather a forlorn image.

The street food stalls are in various sessions, the first from last Friday until today includes this vintage van at the Harvey Nicholls stall serves up "elegantly styled French food, served with panache." (Is a panache a cross between brioche and a crêpe?)... Hopefully I will return on a drier day and explore further. 

Jackie Kearney's Hungry Gecko vegetarian street food is the one stand that I'd really like to try and it's here from Wednesday 28th to next Sunday 30th Sept. http://foodanddrinkfestival.com

Linking today to the Ruby Tuesday blog.

  2. I strolled past the Harvey Nicks cafe here in Leeds yesterday and it was quite busy. I like this Citroen van, back in style.
