Levi Roots, aka Mr Reggae Reggae Sauce Man, was on top form at Leamington Spas Food & Drink Festival. With a range of tasty sauces flying off the supermarket shelves and a new cookery book, Levi Roots was always going to go down a storm. Cooking demos were just one attraction in the festival, and The Taste Trail of nine local restaurants proved popular.
Visitors tasted the food on offer in return for a donation to charity over 2,567 samples of food were given away and over 1,000 was raised.
