Food blogger Fay Nyberg unearths the secret and not-so-secret foodie meets happening under your nose in the north of England and tells how you can get involved
If there’s something Northerners enjoy more than the sharing of bread, banter and beer I am yet to come across it. It’s this sociable disposition and desire to fill more than just our bellies that’s at the centre of an explosion of food-focused clubs across the North.
