00:00So I'm here with Stuart Girvin, who is the organiser of Truro Food Festival
00:04and it feels like it's really happening here. Stuart, tell me what it's been like for you since you started
00:10yesterday.
00:11It's been brilliant. It's been brilliant. Yeah, first day yesterday and we have been inundated.
00:17It's been like everyone has come to Truro and we are so happy.
00:21It's been such a lovely atmosphere here. Really, really, really good. Really good vibe.
00:25And the weather's really holding out as well. Does it feel quite Mediterranean to you? Sort of a bit of
00:30a vibe?
00:30A little bit. I mean, yeah, we are super blessed with the weather. Super blessed with the weather this year.
00:34We had a great year last year as well. And yeah, we're just really grateful.
00:40I think we've got this weather all week, which is nice.
00:42Oh, joy. Late September, bit of sun.
00:46Can you give our readers and people watching on the website,
00:50what kind of things have they got to look forward to for the next few days?
00:54Wow. Well, we have got, I mean, right behind us, we have our chef's teepee. Brand new this year.
01:00So we've created like a brand new space for our chefs. We've got a brand new kitchen.
01:06We have 30 demos happening over the five days. One's about to start now, which is quite nice.
01:13But we, yeah, we've got an incredible array of sort of chefs and workshops happening in there as well.
01:18We have 50, 60 after-time traders on site or local sort of businesses.
01:25I'm going to pan around so that people can see the kind of stuff that we're talking about here.
01:29There you go. And Alfred Petty is starting, isn't he?
01:33From Petit Fours. From Petit Fours and Churros.
01:36Yeah. Lovely place.
01:37Fantastic. Fine dining restaurant. Yeah.
01:40Really, really pleased to have Alfie here. So that's really cool.
01:43We have a great street food area. So you can come hungry, come hungry.
01:49Like there's so much choice.
01:51That's the best advice I've heard.
01:53It's literally like, I mean, I've got five days of lunches. I'm trying, it's really hard to decide.
01:58Honestly, best street food lineup we've ever had here.
02:02You're going to be working out big time next week, aren't you?
02:04100%. Yeah. Diet starts next week.
02:07But this week, all is good. Yeah, we're going ahead.
02:10Fantastic. Thank you very much, Stuart, for your time.
02:13Enjoy the next few days and everybody come on down.
02:15You can see where the food is. It's looking good.
