HASLEMERE'S Food Festival got off to a cracking start with a 'Chop and Chat' evening hosted by Riverford Organic Vegetables founder Guy Watson and Annie Jermain – and HasleBeer.

Midway through the food event at Barista, in Charter Walk, last Tuesday, mayor Melanie Odell joined Guy as the audience heard stories from the Riverford farms.
