The excellence of Pembrokeshire produce will be proved when judges savour the local tastes cooked up for a forthcoming pudding competition.

The contest, taking place at September's Narberth Food Festival, is being run in conjunction with TransitioNarberth, which is spearheading the planting of native fruit and nut trees in and around the town.

"Our aim is to find a dessert pudding recipe which best reflects the aims of the festival and TransitioNarberth - the promotion of locally-produced food which is good to eat," said festival chairman Lynne Crompton.

The Narberth Pudding Competition is open to everyone, and ingredients must include native fruit and/or nuts. The contest is sponsored by the Fourcroft Hotel, Tenby, and there's a hand-decorated commemorative plate as the prize.

The entry fee of £2.50 gives free entry to the competitor to the Sunday of the festival, when the contest will be judged by some of the chefs lined up to give demonstrations and master classes.

Narberth Food Festival takes place on Saturday, September 22, and Sunday, September 23. For more details, and a competition entry form, visit http://www.narberthfoodfestival.com">www.narberthfoodfestival.com
