BOOK:
Matt Whyman's Failure is an Option is the story of an average runner who leaves the morning parkrun behind to push towards 100-mile ultramarathons and beyond, ultimately setting his sights on the formidable Dragon’s Back Race.
The book is a celebration of a sport on the verge of becoming mainstream, a sport for runners of all abilities setting out to see how far they can go, and ordinary people united in chasing dreams and ambitions, no matter how tough things become.
PIZZA:
Made in the Neapolitan style with Italian flour, a 24 hour prove and cooked in a wood fired oven, the pizza from StoneBaked has to be eaten to be believed. Vegan
options will be available.

This was my first WeFiFo event and I wasn't really sure what to expect; nor have I been to a Literary Supper either! The location was lovely. The author a revelation and the other guests interesting to meet. Unfortunately it was too cold that evening to be outside - we would have been better off in the barn. I enjoyed my food and found my dietary requirements had been well catered for - however for the future I would use a different dairy substitute for the dessert topping - it really didn't work with the posset underneath. I'd recommend the chef looks into using KoKo coconut yoghurt another time (Tescos and other large supermarkets) and/or sheeps yoghurt (Waitrose) which is the closest I've ever found to cream.
