Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Terrible queues to get into a free venue with pre booked tickets. 1.5hrs to wait to get into a small enclosure with expensive food....never again. .

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

It was raining, hence the 3 stars for atmosphere. I was very shocked at the price of everything. Small Pizza £11, burgers £10, chips £5, is it me or is that the price of things now. Very disappointed.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

I don't understand why they would try to fit everything into such a small space, when they could easily spread things out. It felt so overcrowded, there was a huge queue to get in as they searched bags, and then huge queues for all the bars. I certainly won't go again. It might be better to charge an entrance fee and improve the site.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Didn't get a chance to get into the festival. The queue for people with free tickets was 2 hours long so we went into Poole to eat. I won't bother next time.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Attended Friday & Sunday. Music was good on Friday (DJ) Baiter Park was the perfect location. Food was amazing but expensive so price was fair. Atmosphere great, very chilled. Would attend again if there's one next year.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

We left within a few minutes, very disappointed.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

I understand it's free so I wasn't expecting much, but to me, live music doesn't mean a DJ. There was nowhere to sit as all tables were reserved and the food was quite expensive

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

We went on a wet and windy day , so that didn’t help as not many people there so no atmosphere , some of the stalls were friendly and chatty ( pancake , brownie and Turkish delight Stalls) others did not really engage despite buying their produce . The stalls mentioned were reasonable priced others were clearly over charging … If I had paid to for the reserved seating I would have be very annoyed. Finally the music was far too loud in the seating area .
Lack of signage was another problem .
All in all a great disappointment .

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

About 20 food stalls, Face Painting stall and a few Bars. Had I been charged for entry I would have asked for my money back. No local food producers, just the usual olive stall and cake stall.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Too small for the amount of people who wanted to attend. As it’s advertised asa free event why was it fenced into such a small area ?
Such a shame as we need these events. Sad to say but Christchurch do it better.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

The organisation of this event was poor. The queue was so long when we arrived and wasn’t moving so sadly we did not make it into the event .

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

After a long 50 minite queue to get into the food festival the prices were very expensive and there was no where to sit. But the weather was lovely so we was happy ro sit on the floor with most of the other attendees. The food was delicious and the music was good although the bar plays different music to the centre stage so if you are sat that way (as we was) you end up listening to two songs at once.

food was great, atmosphere was nice and music was great !

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Small event, very pleasant as such - but so much more could be made of it by incorporating local Dorset producers' food stalls. In particular,more healthy options would give wider choices. More hot drink stalls would help reduce queuing too!

Food could have been healthier

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

There were less food choices and it was a much smaller event than I was expecting. The Afgan food was very good but the wait time for it, and for a coffee was too long really

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Some lovely food stalls, nice vibe but a little quiet for a sunny saturday early evening.

Review of Dorset Street Food Festival

Very expensive food to buy and nothing there to watch or test taste. It was just full of food stores.
