Feast

This evening I went to a marvellous food festival, Feast, near London Bridge. There was a great selection of food and drink so it was no surprise that the event was very popular, flowing with people. There was some live music and deck chairs set up on the grass at The Quadrangle at Guy's Hospital where it was based, which made for a really good atmosphere.

Quite a lot of the stalls were meat-dominated, but I still managed to find some lovely grub to stuff myself with. I had a lovely ceviche of sea bass from 'The Last Days of Pisco', which was very fresh-tasting with celery and a delicious lime dressing.

I really enjoyed a portabello mushroom bun from 'Yum Bun' - the mushroom was fried and served with crispy walnuts and a delicious sweet miso sauce in a soft steamed bun.

Probably my favourite was the margherita pizza from 'Pizza Pilgrims' - freshly stretched and cooked in the proper pizza oven on the back of their van, it had a wonderful slightly gooey yet smokey base.

On the Italian theme, I also liked these risotto balls from 'Arancini Brothers'. They had a crispy outside and a melted cheesy inside which was simply delicious.

 'Hansen and Lydersen' were serving up their scrumptious smoked salmon on Peter's Yard crispbread - it was divine smoked salmon.

Not wanting to miss out on anything sushi-like, I had to try the tenmusu from 'Soya': it's a crispy tempura prawn wrapped in rice and nori, like onigiri.

For dessert, I had a fresh pineapple and chilli brownie made with Original Beans chocolate by Loretta Liu from 'On Cafe'. It was amazing, with a perfect, slightly moist texture.

Feast is on until 5th August - advance tickets sold out for Saturday 4th (12-11pm), but you can get tickets on the door, or go along on Sunday 5th (12-10pm).
