The Big Feastival brings gourmet dining to Clapham Common

The first weekend in July will see lovers of good food and good music come together to take their fill of both at The Big Feastival on Clapham Common, to raise money for charity. 

Jamie Oliver and some of the UK's top chefs and eateries have developed a gourmet festival menu, which festival goers will be able to enjoy by visiting the top notch pop-up restaurants in the festival field. 

The musical line-up is looking just as tasty as the food, with three days of entertainment from the likes of Soul II Soul, The Charlatans, Athlete, New Young Pony Club, Mystery Jets, Hercules and Love Affair, Guillemots, and loads more. 

Unveiled by the Chefs during a Twitter Party that gave the public a rare chance to ask the chefs their cookery queries, One Big Menu’s delectable dishes include starters from Canteen who will be serving up ham hock terrine with sourdough bread & picalilli; Trinity whose pop-up kitchen will have scotch Clarence Court egg with sage & onion served with cider mayonnaise and Redhook, who will serve popcorn shrimp.

Main courses come courtesy of Michelin starred Benares who are presenting a unique chicken tikka pie, the nation’s favourite dish…in a pie! Gourmet Burger Kitchen’s GBK west country 4oz beef burger and Portobello mushroom stack burger both served in a sesame sourdough bun with a choice of sauces are sure to satisfy the heartiest appetites. Wahaca will provide pork pibil tacos and summer vegetable tacos to entice; Cafe Spice Namaste will have organic rhug welsh mutton kofta with rice on offer; Barbecoa will be preparing pit smoked barbecue pulled pork shoulder and slaw; Fifteen will be serving fantastic smoked chicken; Providores will have NZ lamb sam; Locanda Locatelli will be concocting a piadina with parma ham, squacquerone cheese and rocket and a vegetarian piadina and newly announced restaurant Albannach will be providing festival goers with their unique twist on delicious Scottish fare with mini haggis with neeps and tatties.

Puddings come from Vinoteca who will tempt all with a dark chocolate cremoso with fresh English raspberries, coconut & toasted almonds and another newly announced restaurant Cinnamon Kitchen who will be preparing modern Indian delights serving a mango mousse with mango mint salad. There are still some more delicious dishes to be announced so please keep checking www.thebigfeastival.co.uk for all the latest news.

Encouraging festival goers to try different courses across a number of gourmet outlets at The Big Feastival, the experience is bringing three-course gourmet food directly to the consumer.
