What a great show! With all the sights and sounds from the stands and the number of buyers visiting them, there was a great atmosphere – busy and buzzy! Considering how many different coffees there were on offer, some people may have been buzzing thanks to all the caffeine too! 😉 We were delighted to see so many people there, and thank you all for taking the time to come along.
Talking of coffee – Expowest Westcountry hosted the first heat of the 2013 UK Barista Championships, which was won by Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood, of Colonna & Smalls in Bath. Congratulations! Maxwell is the current UK Barista Champion and placed 6th in the world at the 2012 World Barista Championships in Vienna.
Further congratulations are due – this time to The White Hart, Wiveliscombe, who won the fab Taste of the West local produce hamper – hope you enjoy it! :).
Following on from this year’s successful show, there are big changes afoot for next year…watch this space for more news soon!
