Get ready for a culinary adventure like no other! This weekend, a female pit master extraordinaire, Holly Lou, is set to take center stage at the Feed Your Face-tival, a foodie's paradise in Spalding. But this isn't just any barbecue showcase; it's a celebration of bold flavors, regional pride, and the power of independent producers.
A Taste of Adventure
Imagine sinking your teeth into a shrimp po' boy, the juicy shrimp bathed in a tangy sauce, or a brisket hoagie, the tender meat slow-cooked to perfection. Now, add a twist of Lincolnshire charm with grilled cherries wrapped in smoked bacon - a unique fusion of sweet and savory. It's a sensory explosion waiting to happen!
Local Love Story
What makes Holly Lou's BBQ stand out is her dedication to local produce and independent businesses. She's teamed up with fellow Feed Your Face-tival founders and local heroes to create exclusive festival dishes. Her rich, smoky chili, infused with locally crafted coffee, and the sweet honey cornbread, made with Lincolnshire Honey, are a testament to the power of collaboration and regional pride.
Beyond the Smoke
Holly's passion goes beyond the barbecue pit. She's an advocate for nose-to-tail butchery, zero waste, and the comfort of slow-cooked meals. Her journey, inspired by global BBQ cultures, has led her back to champion British farmers and local, seasonal ingredients. It's a beautiful circle of culinary appreciation and sustainability.
A Festival for the Senses
Feed Your Face-tival isn't just about food; it's an immersive experience. With live entertainment, street food galore, and artisan products, it's a celebration of all things delicious and unique. And with Holly Lou's BBQ leading the charge, this year's festival promises to be an unforgettable feast for the senses.
A Personal Note

It's a testament to the power of independent producers and the creativity that thrives when we celebrate our regional identities.
