Clapham Common Foodies Festival
Nearby

Meet Michelin star chefs, see live demonstrations and sample food from London's top restaurants at the Foodies Festival, taking place at Clapham Common in June following an earlier outing at Hampton Court Palace in May. Cooking is made to look easy thanks to demos from top chefs and if the mere thought of all that makes you hungry then you can head to the restaurant tents where you can sample signature dishes from well known restaurants. Wash it all down with posh fizz from Veuve Clicquot and you can guarantee an atmosphere of bon viveur. Chefs due to attend the event include Ed Baines of Randall & Aubin, Gennaro Contaldo of Two Greedy Italians and Michenlin-starred Steve Drake. Further key exhibitors include Ginger Grouse, who will launch their new ginger beer across the festivals; David Greenwood-Haigh of Divine Chocolate, part of the new Chocolate Theatre addition; and Provence Wines, who will feature within the Wine Village. Around 25,000 people are expected to attend which just goes to show the popularity of London's restaurants. Much like the 'Taste of London', these 'Foodies' events - which also take place in Bristol, Oxford and Edinburgh (coinciding with the Festival) - offer a winning combination of sampling, slurping and learning, all in the open air. A foodie's treat. The festival takes place at Hampton Court Palace Green 25th, 26th & 27th May 2013 and then at Clapham Common on 7th, 8th & 9th June 2013. There is also a Feast at Battersea Park Festival on 16th, 17th and 18th August.
