Real Food Festival

Ignore the rather nauseatingly smiley people on the festival website's homepage, this event has been much-hyped by many in the food and restaurant industries and the hunch is it will deliver.

Billing itself as 'pretty much the biggest farmers market ever', and sponsored by Dalyesford Organic and Whole Foods, the Real Food Festival is a smorgasboard of gourmet cottage industries, boutique food producers, workshops, cooking classes and, of course, tastings galore.

Trudie Styler, Giorgio Locatelli and Zac Goldsmith will be taking part in a heated debate on the pros and cons of going organic and there will be a Real Food Theatre where chefs like Jun Tanaka, Shane Osborn and Raymond Blanc will be showing us all how to really do it.

If you haven't got anything better to do it's your chance to go, eat a lot, and get ethical in Earls Court.

Hours: Thurs 24th, Fri 25th & Sun 27th April 10am-6pm • Sat 26th 10am-7pm
Place: Earls Court Exhibition Centre, Warwick Road, SW5 9TA
Cost: Tickets £15 in advance, £18 on the door
Web: realfoodfestival.co.uk
Book: 020 7471 1080

  • Weekend Eats: Ida

    I can't help wondering whether there would be less street crime if every neighbourhood had its own Ida.

  • Weekend Eats: Princess Victoria

    Shepherd's Bush is not blessed with a multitude of fine eating places so it was a canny move of former Sommelier of the Year Matt Wilkin to refurbish the faded gin house the Princess Victoria and turn it into an above average gastro-tavern.

     

  • Weekend Eats: The Garrison

    The owners of The Garrison must have been listening in when I described my perfect pub as it's as close as darn it.

  • Weekend Eats: The Connaught

    We love it when one of London's grand-dame hotels has a refurb and the Connaught, which is now part of the Maybourne Group (which also owns Claridges and the Berkeley), is no exception.

  • Weekend Eats: The Beehive

    When Claudio Pulze was revamping one of London's oldest pubs, the Beehive, Marylebone locals made sure they had their say: the carpet could go but they didn't want it changed too much and they would appreciate it if he could keep the flowers outside looking fresh to brighten the place up. The accommodating restaurateur obliged.
