I’m having my annual quandary about attending the programme UK summer festivals – food festivals, of course.
Approach is thus:
Problem is, it costs me £25 just to get the train to London, then the entry tickets are about £20 so I’ve already spent £45 just to get there. Then the food (in tapas sized portions) are up to £7 a pop and drinks are on top of that. There are some fantastic restaurants, and some Michelin star chefs, involved but there must be a better way to do it ‽
There’s the usual trawl around Borough Market sampling, and occasionally buying, interesting nibbles but what else? Street Feast London has been on my to-do list for a while, but it’s way over in Dalston and only opens at 7pm.
The answer may lie with Kerb Food (formerly known as Eat.st) as they seem to have some of the same traders as Street Feast, but with more central locations and they start at lunchtime. Oooh, the possibilities 🙂
