Review of Feast On 2024
I would recommend Feast On with the HUGE caveat that it needs to be on one of the early days. I went on Sunday afternoon, and at least half of the stands were sold out! Many were closing up pretty early on. It was a nice atmosphere, the music was good, but if there's no food... Where's the "feast"? So we will probably attend again, but never on the last day.

Review of Feast On 2024
The entrance ticket is overpriced. Venue was great, however the food was below average- even from well known vendors. Some of the vendors served cold barbecued meat, the queues were not pleasant and everything was very underwhelming and overpriced. All in all, it was not worth my time and we will not go again.

Review of Feast On 2024
Almost all the traders had sold out by the 3pm on the Saturday the time slot that was booked and thought there would be more options available (possibly a communication error on how many tickets were sold in comparison to traders). Axe throwing was a lot of fun.

Review of Feast On 2024
The queues for food were so long. Either more vendors are needed or more staff for each vendor. It was painful how long it took to get food. More craft/ food to take home stalls would be nice. Prices were very high.

Review of Feast On 2024
Given it was a food festival most stalls couldn't cope with demand and ran out of food. Very very long queues to place orders and then long wait for food. Gave up in the end. Definitely wouldn't bother again. Only thing it had going for it was the weather!

Review of Feast On 2024
Expensive for what it was. Especially as it didn't come any freebies (a glass or something similar). And then each stall holder then had to pay to be there too AND pay for their credit card transactions. Great money spinner for someone!

Review of Feast On 2024
Hello, I bought 2 tickets for arrival on Saturday five till seven. I had a very disappointing experience. Most of the food stalls had sold out and were no longer serving food, Bianchis, Pipp & Co, which were advertised upon purchasing & the reason I bought the tickets. Other places the food had sold out of most things, the spiny lobster sold out of everything except for oysters. I queued up for Jamaican food for 90 minutes to get a curry. I actually wanted the goat curry but after queueing for 90 minutes I was told the goat curry would be a further 90 minutes! There was no live music all evening only a DJ, not as advertised. The Bristol lager ran out and there was no alternative. I'm very disappointed to have bought tickets for myself and a friend and yet I couldn't get any food or drink that I wanted. We had a very disappointing experience ?• please could you give me a refund?

Review of Feast On 2024
Not many food vendors so people were queuing for up to an hour before being able to order overpriced burgers, pizzas, tacos and some ropey looking oysters. I'm afraid this was an absolute disappointment. The advertising looked persuasive but the reality is, this food festival was nothing about food because there was hardly anything to eat there. After queuing for ages to buy some food, all the cookery and wine tasting events had packed up. What a waste of time and money.

Review of Feast On 2024
We bought the 5-7pm entry tickets, but we're left disappointed when we needed to queue up for half an hour to get in. Most of the stalls were closed for the day by the time we got in there. Searched everywhere for a veggie option and when I finally found one it took 45 minutes. We waited by the stage but there was no music at this time. The market also closed pretty early without any warning. Just disappointed that we paid £13 per ticket just to essentially stand around way too many people, continue paying extortionate fees for food and drink (if you can ever get it). Maybe next year offer these late entry tickets at a discount if you don't get the same experience as an early entry customer. Won't be going again
