There’s a Goose on the Loose

At this year’s Stone Food & Drink Festival, which will take place on the town’s Westbridge Park on Friday 3^rd, Saturday 4^th & Sunday 5^thOctober 2014, visitors are in for a real treat as Goose on the Loose’s pop-up tearoom graces the event for the first time.

Run by sisters Mandi – otherwise known as ‘Mrs Goose’ – and Tessa, of Golden Goose events, the tearoom will provide a real feast for the senses; serving delicious light lunches and salads alongside traditional afternoon teas and cakes in stunning surroundings. Offering visitors the chance to sit down and sip tea from fine bone china cups – or enjoy a cold Pimms or nice glass of wine with their food – the latest pop-up addition to the festival compliments The Lewis Partnership’s popular Pop-up restaurant, which will once again serve gourmet three course lunches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and exclusive, ticket-only evening meals on festival Friday and Saturday.

Festival Chairman, Richard Stevens, explains:

“It was my good lady wife who mentioned, at last year’s festival review meeting, that there was nowhere on Westbridge Park where you could sit down for a proper cup of tea – so we decided there and then that a pop-up tea tent was a must for 2014. We wanted to work with someone who could put on a show and make the tea tent a real experience, and having seen Goose on the Loose in action at Ludlow Food Festival we knew they could more than deliver the goods.

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming Mandy, Tessa and their team to the festival and I’m confident it will be a hugely popular addition. Several of our volunteers who were helping out on the stand at Shrewsbury Food Festival went and sampled Mandy’s cakes – for research purposes, of course – and can attest that they are absolutely delicious!”
