Review of Big Feed in the Park - Saturday

Just like to point out the overpriced drink & food was ridiculous also the portalcapins needed more lights to see in.. Apart from these issues, it was a fantastic night.

it wasnt worth the price of the ticket. Very child orientated during the day. Limited places to eat your food and hold a drink at the same time - more tables under the trees on Kelvin way would have helped. More bands would be a bonus. On a plus, every food truck that we ate from was delicious - pizza and the Thai chicken wings being a stand out.
Wouldn’t buy a ticket if it comes up again next year which is a shame.

Such an amazing event for the whole family to enjoy. Our group of 15 had the best time on Saturday night.

Music was top notch - cannot beat the Melting Pot dj's when it comes to funky beats. Loved the tattoo studio, bingo, kids disco.... It was just so much fun amongst nice nice people.

And most importantly..... It did not rain.

My only recommendation would be to have some cheaper ( dare I say faster) meal options for the kids, we had 10 of them in our group- my own and their friends. Mac n cheese and nuggets are always a great option for the wee ones....I know...sacrilege coming from the mouth of this foodie but hey ho, just a suggestion.

Overall.... 100/10 :)

Good for younger children but my 9 and 15 year old were bored for the money we paid to get tickets and food we spent over £100 , disappointed. Be better if all ages were catered for. Food was expensive for families.

Entry prices were extremely high to begin with then once entered, it seemed like all food venders had dramatically increased their prices also from previous events. £80 for myself, my husband and our 7 year old daughter and never even stayed an hour - shocking, absolutely no need for the entry to be as expensive!

Went for opening. Was really disappointed in the food truck prices after paying £13 each to get in and also music then for adult evening was kids running about stage with bubbles. Really disappointed so left and made myself better food than I got from the food truck at half the price.

First time so need to bare in mind this was a trial run effectively so my review really is about trying to help get it better next time because the concept is awesome, the venue perfect, just the split of adult children music etc not well defined or promoted to right audience. I live over looking venue so although not at evening events was around and could clearly hear evening music. Not a complaint at all as those of us living local get the benefit and challenges of the bandstand, I choose to see it as benefit. The Sunday which I bought tickets for 3 adults and one 23 month old had a non stop disco and activities for kids, the free tattoo and balloon animals and craft tent as well as motion disco activities were good for little kids less so for older, baring in mind the entry charge was same irrespective of age. Given this and trying to create a more inclusive event I would have a bigger range of activities that parents could choose to pay for and a lower child entry fee. £14 per adult and £8 per child before any food really does limit your footfall to those who can afford it and even 2 adults one child that's a big chunk of cash when you know you will also be purchasing food. The food trucks were amazing as always with a great range of options and the food was reasonably priced for quality. Again though around £10 per head minimum. We all know the cost of living issues so the vendors have no choice. For a family day you are getting close to £100 and that will limit your market. I was happy personally but heard lots of really negative comments re cost. I was also there on Saturday night and it just didn't have that festival vibe, music, bar whole thing a bit flat, my guess is marketing to right audience went a bit wrong. I could have been on Friday as a guest as the organisers sent flyers to locals offering free entry which was kind but as I was going twice that would have been overkill. Generally love the concept but audience targetting and entry costs need tweaking. Maybe offering family tickets or setting peaks on sliding scale? So more for evenings cheaper at 2pm on the Friday? Overall with the little one on Sunday and my family we were there about 3hrs as little kids get overwhelmed with noise and activity and it cost circa £100 without drinking any alcohol. I get the cost of putting these things on, safety licences etc but to generate footfall and therfore atmosphere I think a review could make this a real "must go" thing.
