Vegan fairs - an update

Both events were a great success, very well organised, great venues and a lovely atmosphere. We met some lovely members of the public who came over to try samples and buy the cakes, muffins and scones, we received some very positive feedback. We tried yummy falafal in warm pitta bread from the Green Garden cafe http://www.greengardencafe.co.uk/ , delicious vegan fish and chips with mushy peas from these guys http://www.veggies.org.uk/somthingfishy/. For dessert we sampled some of Plamil's delicious chocolate and cranberry bar - a great combination. You'd think we only went for the food and eat all day but seriously we were selling cakes and come 3.30pm we were all sold out at the west midlands festival!
