Review of Feast On 2024
Portion sizes were tiny for the price. The quality also lacked due to the mass production. Not much variety of food stalls either for a food festival. It was glorified music festival food at best.

Review of Feast On 2024
We had weekend tickets, but only went on the Friday. Certain stalls had ran out of food, the vegetarian and vegan options were poor for a food festival. The price of food was shocking. Positives, music was good, lots of people enjoying a beer in the sun. Venue was ideal. We felt that the festival had been hyped to be far bigger than it actually was.

Review of Feast On 2024
Sorry, I wish we could give this a better review, as we were so excited for this! The event was quite disappointing, primarily due to the overwhelming number of attendees, which left the few food vendors struggling to keep up. I had hoped for an experience similar to last year's foodie festival, which featured notable bands like Blue and twice the number of vendors. Unfortunately, this event did not measure up. The £30 entrance fee felt steep given what was offered. We encountered long queues for overpriced food and drinks, sometimes waiting nearly an hour for small, restaurant-priced portions, which we could have just gotten from the restaurants directly. The few talks and demonstrations included in the ticket were the only highlights. Overall, it felt like we paid for the privilege of spending more money inside. I would rate it only two stars because the weather was nice and the event was puppy-friendly.

Review of Feast On 2024
Way too busy, multiple music just clashing and loud. Should be chilled live music not fairground mashed with DJ.
Half the stalls ran out of food. Queues were 30mins long.
Simple changes would make it excellent

Review of Feast On 2024
While I appreciate the music in the morning and early afternoon was catered more for young children / families, the volume at which it was being played meant it was a struggle to hold conversations even at the opposite side to where the music was playing (the benches by the Pimms stand). It was not clear what the cost for admission actually granted the ticket holder - prices were still very high and given portions were large it meant you weren't able to sample a good array of vendors. The cost for admission could have been put towards supplementing vendors to give free samples throughout the weekend. If the weather had been poor, there seemed to be a lack of contingency for all visitors beyond a couple of covered seating areas.

Review of Feast On 2024
Total disappointment, nothing like what was promised. You pay an entrance fee to join long queues for average overpriced food and alcohol. We're talking waiting close to an hour in some cases to buy smaller portions of restaurant priced food. The few talks and demos were the only thing included in the ticket price making the event a total rip off. We basically paid for the privilege to pay.

Review of Feast On 2024
Excellent welcoming atmosphere that brought people together. Beautiful weather luckily. Great music, prices could have been better as there was the entrance fee as well, prices for portion sizes could have been a bit better! But it was a beautiful set up!

Review of Feast On 2024
Quite enjoyable in some respects, but the stalls were selling out quickly, so choice was quite limited. Vendors were overwhelmed and queues were long. The prices were obscene and put me off coming again.
