Chefs and restaurateurs jumped aboard a special trade version of the Sussex Gourmet Bus Tour.

In total 40 hospitality businesses went on the trip organised by Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival.

The tours visit artisan producers and farmers allowing passengers to find out how artisan food and drink is grown or made, while enjoying tasters and meeting the makers.

Nick Mosley, director, Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival CIC, said: “These trade tours are a key part of the food festival's objectives to create a joined up local supply chain by introducing restaurants to local growers and producers; tasting their produce and sharing the story behind their food and drink.”

Tickets for consumer Sussex Wine and Gourmet Bus Tours, running every fourth Saturday of the month, are £75 from brightonfoodfestival.com
