Vikki gives marketing support to food, drink and tourism businesses across Kent and is passionate about flying the flag for local producers, farmers and places to visit. She is also chair of Biddenden Tractorfest in a voluntary capacity and works with organisations as a food judge. When not eating or drinking her way around the county, she enjoys time spent with her family on their smallholding.
CLOCKWISE: Taking in the seasonal changes at Bedgebury Pinetum; one of many trips to The Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury; eats that always deliver on both flavour and provenance at Pork & Co; always taking the chance to duck spot at Leeds Castle in Maidstone; the best pastries, patisserie and coffee at Ârtisserie in Tenterden; admiring the views from the back of Goudhurst Village; enjoying a picnic and plane watching at Headcorn Aerodrome; tucking into certainly not average toasties at Average Doughs Bakery in West Malling.
