From the team behind Foodies Festival, the UK’s biggest celebration of food and drink, comes FEAST at Battersea Park.
As the name suggests, this unmissable summertime extravaganza, held from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th August, will serve up a veritable smorgasbord of great food, chefs, masterclasses and tastings – all at one venue.
FEAST is delighted to announce that some of the UK’s top culinary maestros will be at the festival. Matt Robinson (Bluebird), Ben Tish (Salt Yard), Matt Pickop (Maze), the Michelin-starred Robert Ortiz (Lima), 2013 MasterChef victor Natalie Coleman and legendary Tuscan chef Giancarlo Caldesi are just some of those who will be appearing in the Chefs’ Theatre.
At the heart of the experience will be the Feasting Tent, where guests can enjoy the brilliant fare produced by the chefs as well as mixing with fellow festival goers.
Among the many highlights will be a collaboration with Grand Marnier. The legendary French brand will be bringing a touch of joie de vivre to FEAST with its Hidden Charm bar. Hidden behind an elegant Parisian façade, revellers will find a world of flamboyant characters, tempting tipples, great music and a few unexpected surprises.
The emphasis at FEAST will be very much on street and artisan food, and a trip to Street Food Avenue will allow visitors to taste the four corners of the world without ever leaving south London.
Other treats include an Ibiza Chill Out Cocktail Bar; Chocolate, Cake, Bake & Preserves Theatre; BBQ Arena; Vintage Tea Tent and Children’s Cookery Theatre, together with an eclectic line-up of live music.
There will also be a chance for people to test their mettle in a chilli eating competition hosted by The Wiltshire Chilli Farm. Encouraged by the crowd, 12 contestants each day will be attempting to break the current record of 13 varieties of chilli peppers eaten in one sitting.
A one day adult ticket for FEAST at Battersea Park costs £15 (£12 Friday ticket and concession). A three day adult ticket costs £25 (£18 concession) and a one day VIP ticket – including a glass of bubbly on arrival, access to the VIP tent with its own private bar and views of the entertainment stage; a goody bag and priority entry in theatre and masterclass sessions – are priced at £48 (£45 on Friday). Children aged 12 and under go free when accompanied by an adult.
