Beacon Park Lichfield reviews by real event-goers

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

1 bar and 1 massive que for all those food stalls. The food was under cooked and over priced. £26 for 2 wraps and 2 potatoes worth of chips with no drink. Hardly a good deal.

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

2 small glasses of red wine for £15 and it was awful.

Three friends in different queues to buy the drink they want doesn’t really work somehow. Nice atmosphere but nowhere to sit and as said the prices are just too high on top of that you have to pay to get in..

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

We had a really good time at Lichfield dining club. The only negative was that the queue for the bar was insane. I only managed to get 1 drink all day.

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Great idea, all vendors were good but really should have been adults only. Kids spoilt it

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Had a great day at digbeth dining club, although we had to queue for 40 minutes to get a drink! Far too long as there was only 1 “proper” bar. There was also a c**ktail, wine and craft beer stands too but it took just as long for a drink in any one of these! It didn’t take any way near as long to get food which was brilliant.
Maybe live music would be a nice touch.

Great day, needed a few more tables and toilets but otherwise great

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Brilliant idea, but queues were to long

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

The area provided whilst nice, was very small for the amount of people attending.
The 'drinks' arrange was just very poorly run with 40min wait for a drink...we spoke with lots of people who just couldn't be bothered to stay and walked straight out...shame when people have travelled distance to visit....needs some really big rethinking if it is held again !

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Only one bar with alcohol so the queue was ridiculous! Didn't hear any live music. Not enough seating. We ate and left.

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Queues were too big so we didn't use our tickets

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

No entertainment or music, just a load of vans in a park serving expensive food, hardly and tables and chairs provided! A lot of people had to sit on the floor. So why did we actually have to pay to go in? The only reason it was so popular was because it was a nice sunny day

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

There was a great selection of food and prices were in the region that you would expect of a food festival, albeit on the pricier side of what we expected. All of the food was excellent quality and queues weren’t too big apart from at the bar - perhaps another beer tent would’ve been a good idea as the beer also ran out mid-afternoon. The wine tent was great with no queues but again, on the pricier side. It was difficult to buy soft drinks, especially water for children so perhaps some of the vendors could’ve also had fridges with water to sell as well as the food. We ended having to get tap water from beacon park cafe for our children after they’d closed their tills as there was none available from any dining club vendors. All in all we had a fantastic (although expensive) afternoon and it’s great to have things like this happening in lichfield.

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Great event. Brilliant quality food and drinks and a really laid back atmosphere. Prices aren't cheap, but no higher than we should be expecting to pay for good quality food from independent traders. Will definitely try to go again!

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Too many people with far too few vendors, queues for food were horrendous having to wait around 30 minutes.

To get drink was even worse so we left and went to a pub in the town.

We used to love DDC in Birmingham but would never go to one of these pop up venues again. Complete waste of the ticket price.

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Great event and day however it was too crowded in a small space on the field, with the rest of the field being wasted. The queues were way too long. There must be a more efficient way to have customers queue and wait for their food. Didn’t even attempt to queue in the drinks queue as that was about 30 minutes long. Prices were of a decent amount and the food was delicious. Staff were all friendly.

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Once again not enough bars, queues too long, soft drinks should be sold with food

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

No music therefore unable to review this.
Atmosphere was good but the queues for drinks were insane, well over an hour & a half wait.
Couldn’t fault the food stalls, so much choice & everything we purchased tasted amazing.
The downfall was the drinks issue as we were unable to purchase soft drinks from any other stall apart from one selling homemade lemonade (as we did not want to wait an hour & a half for a drink). Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend.

Great day!

Review of Lichfield Dining Club

Music? There was no music, other than a speaker from one of the food traders! We used to go to the DDC and there were djs etc. Nothing here, very disappointing. Also the food prices were very expensive and some of the stalls just rising you off £3.50 for about 20 chips? The bar queues again we're an hour long. They need more staff ir more drinks stands. Luckily the weather was nice
