Marco Pierre White friend of Hartingtons

Well I hate all this faux celebrity stuff.

However, I have to admit it.  I was just a touch excited when Marco Pierre White accepted my friends request on Facebook.  A mistake I'm sure!

What did amuse me more was Marco's description of Jamie Oliver in the Mail a few years ago as "the fat chef with a drum kit".

A more accurate description would be the kidult entrepreneur!  For instance, I don't know about you but I wasn't aware that Jamie is now doing a range of homeware called Jamie at Home.

If you are interested in seeing his latest spring collection for the home; then why not come along to our Spring Food Fair at Baslow on the 2 & 3rd of April.
