FOOD and drink lovers are in for a treat this September as Loch Lomond Food and Drink festival returns.

Now in its 12th year, the festival aims to cater to all tastes, with an array of food and drink suppliers from up and down the UK. Live music, cookery demonstrations and family-friendly entertainment will help add to the festival atmosphere and ensure there is plenty for visitors to do.

As well as all the usual favourites, new sponsors Jim Beam are set to bring their barbecue experience to the event on Saturday, September 2 and Sunday, September 3 at Loch Lomond Shores.

The barbecue experience will be serving up beef and pulled pork burgers coated in a bourbon glaze and a lemon splash cocktail from frozen cocktail makers, LIC.

Kat Kennedy, the festival’s organiser, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Jim Beam to the Loch Lomond Food and Drink Festival this summer.

“They will be a great fit for the festival and we are sure that festival goers will love everything they have to offer.

“There is no better location than Loch Lomond Shores for an end of summer festival with delicious foods, drinks, loads of entertainment and of course the stunning loch and Ben Lomond in the background.”
