Meet Michelin star chefs, see live demonstrations and sample food from London's top restaurants at Hampton Court Palace at the Foodies Festival when tasting tents are set up in the gardens of Henry VIII's historic home. Himself a well documented fan of feasting, the King would no doubt have approved of this spread. Cooking is made to look easy thanks to demos from top chefs including Jason Atherton of Maze, winner of Celebrity MasterChef Nadia Sawalha, 'Economy Gastronomy' star, chef and co-owner of The Victoria Paul Merrett, Atule Kochhar of Benares as well as Michelin star chefs Shay Cooper of The Bingham and Stephen Drake of Drakes Restaurant in Surrey. If the mere thought of all that makes you hungry 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. 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 Brighton, Glasgow and Edinburgh (coinciding with the Festival) - offer a winning combination of sampling, slurping and learning, all in the open air. A foodie's treat.
