Bread, beer, cured meats, coffee and gin will be just some of the locally-produced food and drink on offer on a special Norfolk Day pop-up stall.

The team behind the popular Porkstock food festival will be hosting a one-day only stall in a Norwich shopping centre on Friday, July 27.

Between 9am and 7pm more than 20 food and drink producers from across the county will set-up shop for the Porkstock Pop-Up in House of Fraser at intu Chapelfield.

Pippa Lain-Smith, part of the Porkstock organising team, said: 'This is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses and producers to promote and sell their delicious products alongside the fantastic range of national brands at House of Fraser.

'House of Fraser is committed to supporting the local community and working with local businesses.

'And as Porkstock already has a great family of food producers, it made perfect sense to bring the two together for Norfolk Day.'

On July 27 the Porkstock producers will be interspersed with well-known House of Fraser brands to create a mini Norfolk food hall experience alongside men and women's fashion, beauty and homewares.

John Higginbottom, House of Fraser store manager, said: 'House of Fraser is proud to be part of the Norfolk retail community and by working together with independent local businesses we can all benefit; creating an exciting retail mix and best of all, an experience that customers will enjoy.'

Shoppers will be able to enjoy Norfolk products across two floors of the department store including drinks from a pop-up bar operated by Vanvino, where from midday shoppers can enjoy a local gin and tonic or beer.

'Everywhere you turn, there'll be something delicious to try and buy from Norfolk,' Mr Higginbottom added.

Porkstock festival takes place on October 13 at the Norfolk Showground and will raise money for Nelson's Journey, a charity which supports bereaved children and families in the county.
