One of the most unexpected runaway successes of 2010 was last years Brewers’ Fayre which not only resulted probably in the biggest mass hangover in the history of Llansteffan village but also revealed some very unexpected faces as budding Jamie Olivers or Nigella Lawsons of the future. We have always known there were many  budding Simon Buckleys or Arthur Guinness’ in residence, just that they spend so much time consuming it, actually brewing it in the first place becomes a slight afterthought! But our merry revellers bent their shoulders to the task and produced a wondrous crop of fine 2010 vintages for all to imbibe. Following on that success the Harvest Fayre of 2011 was born with a change of title hopefully going to encourage a few more people to cook and bake some delights as well as brew and ferment. Once again the Fayre was a rip roaring success with much food and drink on offer to the full hall that turned up on Saturday. Well done to all who competed and all who came to taste the goodies on offer.
