Real Bread Campaign to host Batch Edinburgh event

Batch, an event for bakers organised by Real Bread Campaign, is to take place in Edinburgh on 18 June.

The Edinburgh event, which follows the success of Batch in Somerset and London in 2018, will take place at Cafe St. Honoré, and will comprise a three-course meal crafted by the team at the eatery to showcase seasonal ingredients and real bread.

Between courses there will be talks by guests including Pam Brunton (Inver Restaurant), Neil Forbes (Cafe St Honoré, BBC Radio Scotland, The Scotsman) and Andrew Whitley (Bread Matters, Scotland the Bread).

There are only 40 places available, priced at £30 for Real Bread Campaign supporters and £35 for their guests. A share of the proceeds will go towards the running of the Real Bread Campaign.

Last month, the Real Bread Campaign revealed a new line-up of ambassadors including 12 women, after it came under scrutiny for a lack of gender diversity among its ambassadors last year. The new ambassadors will be vocal champions for the Campaign and real bread in general.
