Let me start by saying John is alot better looking in person than on masterchef. Here’s me, reporting on the relevant action which took place at the Toast Festival – Australia Day
Hey guys, here’s a treat for ya! The Toast Festival event organisers are giving LondonEater readers 50 pairs of tickets (usually £25 each) to the UK’s largest southern hemisphere themed festival. There’s lotsa food (John Torode is gonna be there to cook for guests), wine tasting, polo matches, live music and cultural performances. It’s all taking place in Clapham Common on the weekend of 26-28th June 2009. It looks like alot of fun, so if you’re interested (and live in the area perhaps), then here’s your free pass to the event! All you need to do is send an email (subject: LondonEater offer) to rsvp@goaheadevents.com with your full name and state which Toast you’d like to attend (South Africa – Friday, New Zealand – Saturday, Australia – Sunday) and you’ll receive an e-ticket in return. It’s for the first 50 emails they receive, so get emailing now. Offical website at www.toastfestivals.co.uk
