Suffolk Food Safari – Event Photography

I was fortunate enough to be invited by Polly Robinson – of fantastic new Suffolk venture, Food Safari - on one of their latest foodie excursions.

The Seafood in a Day event took us from sea to plate via Pinney’s well known smokehouse at Butley Creek, near Orford on the Suffolk coast. We started the day with a couple of hours on a chartered boat on the beautiful river Ore around Havergate Island and the internationally important nature reserve Orford Ness.

Back on dry land we took a behind the scenes tour of Pinney’s at Butley Creek, where oysters have been cultivated for centuries and Richard Pinney started smoking fish in the 1950s.

After the fantastic tour of the smokehouse we returned to Pinney’s own restaurant, The Butley Orford Oysterage in Orford’s pretty market square where we had a beautiful lunch and a hands-on demonstration of how to carve a whole salmon. My husband, James, even had a try – with mixed results!

It was a brilliant day.

Fantastic lunch and chat at Bar77

I had a fantastic lunchtime networking meeting with the members of the Athena Network in Ipswich last week. The food at Bar77 on Bishop’s Hill in Ipswich was lovely, and I met some fantastic people who I hope will be fantastic contacts in the future.
