Corn Street is no stranger to delicious food and produce, with its Farmers’ and Producers’ Market every Wednesday, but this week, as part of Bristol Food Connections Festival, there was something even more special going on than usual.

For lucky Bristolians passing by St Nicholas Market on Wednesday June 13, an incredible demonstration of delicious food was prepared live by Barny Haughton of Square Food Foundation, winner of the BBC Radio Bristol Food Hero Award at the BBC Food & Farming Awards in 2016, accompanied by Freddy Bird, head chef at Clifton Lido and co-presenter of Channel 4’s Hidden Restaurants along with Michael Roux Jr, and assisted by Charlotte Fife, cookery teacher at Square Food Foundation.
The chefs blended simple ingredients in order to create delicious bite-size dishes
Sourdough bread with butter, horseradish, dill and the star of the show: smoked eel
Produce from the market was used, such as this fresh bread from Pullins Bakery
The delicious food was prepared with generous amounts available for the public to try, including this homemade houmous
Despite the overcast weather, the public still gathered for the demonstration
