Review of Gastro festival Driffield
We expected the event to be bigger.
The music didn't reach our expectations, it didn't get many people up dancing.
The venue had good toilets and staff friendly. We think there should be more benches around the music and food areas as a lot of people were sat on the floor for a long time waiting for entertainment.
We paid £20 to get in which we didn't mind as the fireworks at the end of the evening were great. However we then had to pay for all the rides and food which added up throughout the day.
We expected more food stalls and would recommend more entertainment for kids as paying for rides all day can soon add up.
The things we enjoyed the most were, the entertainers walking around the crowds and the circus activity for kids. The gentleman who did the circus activity also was an entertainer on the evening he was fabulous he made our day trip worth it!

Review of Gastro festival Driffield
Great event, well attended. Alcohol a bit pricey. But it was to be expected when you aren't allowed to take your own. Food was expensive a chicken gyro was £14 you pay that when your sat down in a pub. Not on the grass at a festival. German sausage in a roll £7. Just make sure you eat before you go. Music was ok, Owen was fantastic on the Saturday. Just wished they'd used local bands. We have a lot of bands/artists in Driffield. Worth going to but make sure you're fed and watered before you enter the site.

Review of Gastro festival Driffield
Never been before. Only stayed for an hour. Disappointing number of food vendors. Pensioners, thus not interested in paying extra for fairground rides. Did, however, pay £1 for food to feed the therapy animals. Really enjoyed that, as suffer from severe depression/anxiety/stress.

Review of Gastro festival Driffield
Taylor Swift very bad, Freddie just as bad. NY brass band good, Niall Barnes excellent! Should have been main event. Food and drink really expensive. Not cheap for a family day out. Nothing gastro about it, would have expected chefs demonstrating propper food events, like the food road shows with lots of stalls touting their crafted edibles.

Review of Gastro festival Driffield
Great weekend entertainment. Music, street food and various stalls, rides for kids and adults, stunning fire- show artiste,and fireworks. Think it will grow in subsequent years, as this was the first. Congratulations on the Taylor Swift Tribute the final evening, the ecstatic young "Swifties" were overjoyed and not disappointed! Overall, I and my friend enjoyed it and would go again. One small point: they could have put more table/bench sets out. I saw a lot of spares stacked up out back, by the side of a shed... They were needed with the amount of people. We sat on a small mat on the ground, as did many others, but would have preferred a proper seat and table.

Review of Gastro festival Driffield
I'm always happy to support local events. However, this one was definitely 'over promised and under delivered'. There really wasn't much to do/see. We arrived at 12, had a coffee and a delicious 'dirty donut' and by 12:45 had seen all there was to see. bought some marmalade and was back in the car heading home by 12:50. Families may have been able to do more - funfair/face painting. But to justify the ticket price you need to have more stalls etc.
