Barbados Food & Rum Festival 2016

by Mark Hammerton

The seventh Barbados Food & Rum Festival (previously Food, Wine & Rum) will be held in Barbados from 17th to 20th November 2016 with a variety of events across the island celebrating Barbados as the ‘culinary capital of the Caribbean’.

We wouldn’t disagree. You'll discover some wonderful fine dining restaurants in Barbados and some fantastically tasty street food too. The choice of multi-cultural cuisines on offer is wide ranging and rum, of course, is interwoven into local culture.

Barbados is home to many renowned chefs and visiting chefs from around the World will be joining them to get involved in a wide range of events during the annual festival.


The festival opens on Thursday 17th November with the Oistins Bay Gardens Cook Off and is followed on Friday with the Signature Rum Event at the Concorde Museum. The Saturday afternoon Sprits of Polo (rum and canapés) is followed by the Saturday fine dining events (the Gourmet Safari) which pairs international chefs with local top chefs. The Sunday evening grand finale is at the Hilton Beach where the Sunday Beach Party Cook-off and food sampling takes place.

Many of the events are ticket only and can be bought in advance via TicketPal.

Mark and Lisa Hammerton

We are Mark and Lisa Hammerton and we are lucky enough to spend our time organising villa and apartment holidays to the wonderful Caribbean island of Barbados.

We have been involved with the travel industry for most of our working lives but fell in love with Barbados after many visits and ended up buying a second home there.

We would love to talk to you about the island and our selection of wonderful properties and, as our priority is matching the right property to your requirements, we will always be open and honest in what we have to say.

PRICE PROMISE
Promise
We have selected the properties we offer based on personal visits and a wealth of local knowledge and we hope to offer the best possible service before and during your stay. All rental prices are set by the property owners and you shouldn’t find the same property at a lower price elsewhere. Unlike some operators, we always include local taxes (VAT and Barbados Government Room Rate Levy) and local service fees in our rates so it is worth checking this when making comparisons.
We are aware that some operators offer discounts and promotions from time to time and we don’t want you to ever feel as though you are paying over the odds by booking through us – it’s not what we’re about. If you do find the same property at a lower price elsewhere please do let us know and we promise to match the price. Our aim is to be fair, open and honest at every stage as we look after your holiday arrangements.
