It is the second year Gate to Plate was staged in Honiton - the first was crowned with a visit from the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.

This year's festival, on Saturday (September 28), was originally planned to be held in August, but was postponed after stormy weather.

The event was organised by East Devon District Council, and supported by Honiton Town Council.

Councillor John Zarczynski, Honiton mayor, said: "This year's Gate to Plate was a huge success and well-attended.

"Fortunately, the weather held out for us, despite the early rain forecast.

"Everyone I have spoken to enjoyed the event and are looking forward to another Gate to Plate next year."

Cllr Zarczynski expressed his thanks to councillors who attended the event and helped steward it.

He thanked Cllr Tony McCollum and his assistant, Carl, for their hard work and expertise on the day.
