Buckingham Food Fair 2025 was an exciting celebration of food and culture, bringing together local food and drink producers for an unforgettable foodie experience. Held on Saturday 22nd February at Buckingham Community Centre, the event showcased an array of flavours and culinary creativity, drawing hundreds of attendees.
This year’s event featured an impressive line-up, most located within a 30-mile radius of Buckingham, including MK Food Distribution, The Indian Orchard, Foxdenton Estate Gin, Brockleby’s Pies, The Chocolate Mill MK, Chafor Wine, Pure Patisserie, Garden Organic, Jacc’s Coffee, Manor Farm, Monty Booch Kombucha, NYC Cookies, Crafted by P, Sizzlers Street Food, Replete Flatbreads, From Garden to Jar, Elenness Events, Stanley’s Homemade Free-From Treats, We Will Wok You, Hello Fresh, Home Farm MK, Northampton Cheese Company, Alvis Homemade, and Susumba MK.
One of the highlights was the Buckingham Best Dish Competition, where visitors cast their votes for their favourite local dish. The results are in, and we’re thrilled to announce that Prego took the top spot, with their delicious pizzas winning over the crowd. Cornwall Place Kitchen came in second place with their popular cheese toasties, while The Grand Junction and Dipalee Lounge shared a joint third place finish.
Beyond celebrating Buckingham’s thriving food scene, the fair also raised funds for the Mayor’s two chosen charities. A special thank you to the local businesses and organisations that donated some fantastic prizes for the Mayor’s Charity Raffle, including Harry’s of Winslow, Mey Bar & Grill, Cornwall Place Kitchen, The Grand Junction, Lillingstone Pick Your Own, Colready Highland Cow, Buckingham Bookshop, Buckingham Tea Room and Greetings Plus. Thanks to their generosity—and the incredible support from attendees—the raffle raised just over £300 for Buckingham Food Bank and Jedidiah UK.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to making Buckingham Food Fair 2025 a resounding success. See you next year for another incredible foodie adventure!
