Altogether Now! The Farm (Open Day 2020)! Get Your FREE Tickets! - Isle of Ely Industry Open Day By Austen Dack
I
sle of Ely Produce and Chippy Chat HOPE to once again open their doors to chip shop owners and managers in 2020, to show you why you should be asking for Isle of Ely Produce potatoes from your merchant! We are monitoring the Covid-19 situation closely and will keep you uptodate with any delay or postponement. Last year the day was invaluable not only did chip shop owners and staff see first-hand the journey a potato makes (from seed through to field & farm) before it reaches their shops, but they also found out how the 2018/19 potato crop was fairing, giving them heads up on both expected cost and quality of the crop. This year we plan to let you know how the 2020 crop looks and also of how we are looking to new varieties which can grow in ever changing environments It was also a day for friers to get together in a unique environment and exchange tips, try new products and also listen first hand to presentations across the day from industry experts. In 2019 we had over 140 friers and suppliers join us for one of the best
industry days out of the year and 2020 we already have lots of owners and friers registered to attend. The event will be held on Sunday 6th September (9.30 am start) in Ely, Cambridgeshire and will be available on a first come first served basis. It is FREE for all chip shop owners and managers. The day is once again supported by the NFFF. It is an important day for suppliers too, as much of the day will be spent exchanging ideas from across the industry, and attendees are given key time to talk to sponsors/exhibitors on the day. In fact, we are offering suppliers a great rate to attend on the day to come and show friers what they do. With prices from just £249, (to help us pay for the day) why not come and display your products. If you need a bigger space please call/ email us and we will tailor the package to your needs. Already we have a great line up of speakers pencilled in including National Fish and Chip Takeaway winners The Cod’s Scallops, Young Frier Charlie Collins, The Wetherby Whaler, Nana Jan’s, Shap Chippy and more TBC.
Last year there were a plethora of top industry speakers on the stage, and this year pomises to be better still
