Summer is definitely upon us in the UK now, especially if the weekend just gone is anything to go by. When the temperatures are up and the sun is shining, what better to do than relax outside with some good food and drink. Of course doing this in your garden is an excellent place to spend the day, but if you’re in London and perhaps don’t have a garden or just want to do something a little bit different, check out Foodies Festival. Taking place at a number of locations over summer, this weekend you’ll find it at Kenwood House.
Billed as a weekend full of good food in a beautiful setting, it’s sure to be right up anyones street on a warm summers day. As well as featuring a BBQ area, pop up restaurants and a live music stage for you to pass the day by; pop along to the chefs theatre to hear talks from Natalie Coleman (Masterchef winner 2013), John Waite (Great British Bake Off winner 2012) and Adam Handling (Masterchef: The Professionals finalist 2013 and current Head Chef at The Caxton Grill) to name but a few.
If you’re more of a drinks fan than a fine food fanatic, there’s plenty for you to get involved with as well, with the new Real Ale and Cider Farm being set up, complete with hay bales for visitors to relax on, drinking some of the best beers and ciders while striking up a conversation with expert Melissa Cole and other drinks lovers. On top of this, there’s also a drinks theatre where Melissa and Charles Metcalf will be giving talks about beers and ciders, while local mixologists will be showing off their skills at making hand crafted cocktails.
If you can’t make it along to the Kenwood House event this weekend, the festival will be at Clapham Common the first weekend of June, along with a smattering of other dates for the rest of the year, for full details about the rest of the dates on the tour and to buy tickets, click here.
