What a wonderful four days we’ve all had – with over a thousand people turning up to events in seven venues across the town. Most events were full to capacity and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Children were kept busy with workshops, a film matinee and free chocolate, young people had a glamorous Oscar Night and a chance to talk to film industry people about career opportunities. There was glorious food at every event from a traditional British roast lunch to Mexican, Indian and Chinese – all themed to go with the films. The Food Hall was fantastic – loads of local food stalls, celebrity chefs cooking and wonderful tastings – especially whisky!
The Guardian: “There are food festivals and there are film festivals, and now there is Kingussie’s novel blend of the two . . . this festival goes to inventive lengths to draw everyone in . .”
The Sunday Herald: “ This small Highland town is transformed into a hub for food and film lovers during its annual cinematic and culinary festival . . “
The Scotsman: “ . . . one of the best little events anywhere in Scotland . . “
The Daily Mirror “ . . . a lively event for both movie and food lovers . . “
The Skinny: “. . foodier and filmier than ever. It’s a brilliant concept, marrying the sloth of eating and sitting around with a healthy Highland setting.. . “
The Big Issue: “ Kingussie’s Food on Film fanatics invite you to feast at their annual festival with Nigel Slater’s Toast, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and local produce galore. If you’re tummy’s still rumbling after all that, consult your GP!”
Aurora Magazine: “Few festivals are as unusual and appealing as Food on Film, which each winter warms up the attractive Speyside town of Kingussie. The four day treat . . will delight the tastebuds, the eyes, the emotions and the intellect . . .”
