Nine producers from across the heart of England region will be included on the menu which will be served to 900 guests on Wednesday 19 June.
This unique opportunity has been created through the work of The HEFF International Trading Desk at HEART of ENGLAND fine foods (HEFF) alongside UK Trade and Investment (UKTI). The Trading Desk team has forged a strong working relationship with the British Embassy in Poland following a local food and drink showcase in February.
Guests at the Queen’s Birthday celebration will enjoy cheeses from Mr Moyden’s Handmade Cheese, Market Drayton, and Shropshire Cheese Company, Oswestry, together with beer from Hobsons Brewery, Cleobury Mortimer.
Other heart of England products on the menu include cheese from Croome Cuisine, Worcestershire; farmhouse pickle from Cottage Delight, Staffordshire; beef and lamb from Martin’s Meats, Gloucestershire and cooked smoked turkey from Adlingtons, Warwickshire. In addition, there will be cider from Celtic Marches, Herefordshire and soft drinks from Story Brands, Staffordshire.
Karen Davies, HEFF Chief Executive, said: “We were delighted that the British Embassy in Warsaw selected food and drink from our members to showcase at such a prestigious event. We are looking forward to continuing to work with the Embassy to develop trade for our businesses in Poland.”
Robin Barnett, Her Majesty’s Ambassador in Warsaw, said: “We are very pleased to be working with the HEFF International Trading Desk. Emerging Europe is the highest potential growth destination for British food and drink in Europe and the Trading Desk provides practical support for SME exporters.”
