It might not exactly have been Sunny Hunny - but the drizzle didn't throw a dampener on the town's first food and drink festival.

Mark Kacary and his wife Rosie have championed Norfolk produce since they opened the Norfolk Deli in Hunstanton in 2014.

On Sunday, they brought more than 30 producers to the resort's High Street for the inaugural West Norfolk Seasonal Food and Drink Festival.

"When you try to organise something like this, one of your biggest worries beyond the weather is whether the traders who come along are going to say it was worthwhile," he said," as he dished out samples of Norfolk cheeses.  

"I'm glad to hear it sounds like they've been having a good day."

"We've had a really good day," said Miss Brigham. "We do a number of markets across the county and when you include food and drink, it definitely draws people in.
