Arrived at 5 to find half the vendors closed and the other half sold out of most of their menu items. The remaining food all had 30+ minute waits. No schedule for the music so a lot of waiting around. Not sure where the £13 entry fee went. Loads of potential though and still a fun atmosphere

We were a little disappointed with the Feast On festival. On top of our £13 entrance fee, the food and drinks were very expensive and queued for over an hour at one of the food stalls. By that point we were very hot and had spent enough money, so left. The food produce tent was small, and not many 'tasters' on offer. Not a huge amount to stick around and do that you didn't have to pay more for.

My boyfriend and I went on Saturday, arriving at 11am, we absolutely loved it and had a great day, the sun was shining and the music made it even better, we bought our own picnic blanket and sat down for most of the day as well as having a little walk around!
The food by the venders were great, but the drinks were a little pricey, but I guess with this sort of event that's normal!
We would have love to of seen some more sweet treats about as this side seemed quite limited.
We would definitely go again!

The entry price was expensive for what you got once inside. Small festival, needed more in produce market, DJ was too close to live stage. Lots of stalls sold out before the end, which was disappointing. Bar couldn't always take card payments. Not enough shade for sunny day. Toilets were kept clean

Very disappointing experience, we were sold the Saturday 7 pm slot, yet when we got there (around 7.20 pm) 80% of the food venues had closed and the ones that were open had run out of practically all of their dishes. The choices were lacking, with most of the vendors selling what you would expect to get at a standard music festival rather than something culinarily interesting, and the place had poor facilities. Why they would offer 7 pm to 10 pm as a slot if they knew the festival would be shutting down around that time is beyond me - it felt like an absolute rip off and opportunistic.

Too many people, despite having booked sessions. Too many queues - with many options sold out by Sunday afternoon this meant those that did have stock have even bigger queues! Meant there were limited options which was disappointing.

Ticket was expensive for what it covered. Wished there were more restaurant stalls. There wasn't enough food to try for me. Although all the stall people were lovely

Entrance ticket didn't get you so much as a bowl of chips, queues were a mile long, pints were six and a half pounds, and half of the food stalls (most of which were shops from around Bristol anyway) sold out of everything by 6pm on the Saturday. The whole thing felt like a moneygrab.

Very disappointed with this event. The queues for food and drink were much too long. We ended up picking the shortest queue rather than the food we wanted and we still waited 50 minutes
