Kingston Food Festival

The Kingston Food Festival consists mainly of FREE events but there are one or two really special ones that are a little more exclusive.

The free Food Festival will run over two weekends from 1-9 August. The main event comprising The Live Food Show and the Big Kingston Market will be staged in the Town Centre throughout the second weekend (8-9 August). There will also be a Children’s Festival within the main event offering kids the opportunity to experiment with tastes and textures and even do some cooking. And there will of course be face painting courtesy of Bentalls.

In the week between the two big events there will be a Restaurant Week celebration, where the restaurants offer special deals throughout the week. Restaurants taking part include: Carluccio’s, Comptoir Libanais, Exotic Tagine, Frangos, Frank B’s Diner, Frankie & Benny’s, Las Iguanas, La Tasca, Nandos, Patisserie Valerie, Paul UK, Pizza Express, Cheeky Pea, Satori and The Swallow.

Many of the above restaurants will also take part in The Food Trail on Friday 7th August. This is a much loved event as it allows customers get to taste little samples from a whole range of different restaurants. It is the perfect way to experiment with new options.
