By - Kaffeccinos wins the prestigeous catering contract
This isn't just any Festival - this is the brand-new, action-packed, thrill-a-minute Burgham Horse Festival. It's a fantastic new addition to Northumberland's sporting calendar, and it attracted thousands to the county. They were not all horse-lovers, because this Festival had something to please just about every member of the family, with a variety of attractions, opportunities for retail therapy galore - and a special Food Hall offering a feast of locally-produced fare to please every palate.
Set in the lovely Burgham Park development five miles north of Morpeth on the A1, the Festival's first year featured top-level Showjumping, with an exciting range of classes in two arenas for everyone from aspiring amateurs to top professionals - even giving our Olympic competitors a challenge as part of their preparation for 2012.
There's also Dressage for those who enjoy the skill and elegance of horse and rider working in perfect harmony.
Northumberland's never had an event like this before - and drew in around four thousand visitors over the three days from July 23-25, providing the county's tourism industry with a showcase attraction.
When the event organisers knew they had to attract the highest possible quality operator for the VIP catering and coffee supplier they knew they needed Kaffeccinos a family run business based in Newcastle upon Tyne owned by well known entrepreneurs Bill and Theresa Croney. Bill says "We were honoured to have been finally selected to lead this prestigeous event and drew on all our past experience to ensure that the VIP's of Northumberland and beyond were well catered for. The Whitaker family, the leading dynasty in all things equestrian, in particular commented that we had provided the best food they had enjoyed at any event anywhere in the UK." Kaffeccinos rose to the challenge and like the qualities of a true thoroughbred took evevything in our stride
