Dine like Royalty at the Hampton Court Palace Food Festival

The Hampton Court Palace stands upon the river Thames with elegance and pride. From August 25 to 27, it will stand even prouder exhibiting Europe’s gastronomic heritage at the Hampton Court Palace Food Festival. Make the most out of your time with your family, set up a base by checking out some hotels in North London for rent.

It is any foodie’s desire to sit and dine at the royal dining table. This food festival might be your closest shot at doing so. The Hampton Court Palace opens its gardens once again to the grandest dining experience ever, though no one actually gets to use the royal cutlery.

Truly the perfect family affair, the Hampton Court Palace Food Festival offers plenty of activities that are available to kids and adults alike. Roam around the aroma-filled gardens in search of food from only the best artisan restaurants and concessionaires. Let selections from The Horsebox UK and Arepa London to Hush Hush Chefs and the Chunky Buddha blow your mind and satisfy your cravings.

Admire shire horses, participate in arts and sports activities with your kids, and get a tour inside the historical court palace itself. Shop for cookbooks at pop-up bookstands and check out rich and unique homeware you won’t find elsewhere brought by the Humble Country Avenue.

Enter The Kitchen to witness live cooking demonstrations by chefs such as Nadiya Hussain and Michel Roux Jr. Tickets can be purchased for some shows at £2 each while some are freely accessible.

For those interested in masterclasses on select skills such as Naked Cake Decorating, The Classroom is the perfect activity. Kids can also engage in the culinary arts at the Kids’ Cookery Class. Separate tickets are sold for each class.

Tour food vans and stalls and pick up the perfect picnic treats. Pop-up bars by brands such as Bubble Bros and Mezzo Italia are also present when you get thirsty for a glass of wine or some plain (non-alcoholic) cocktails. For people who prefer vegan and vegetarian food in London, there are some great places that offer high-quality food options.

Dine like royalty with the Lexus Lunch Club and enjoy a lovely two-course lunch with special seating and access to a private bar. Food will be prepared by One One Four and No. 97. Tickets for this lunch must be reserved in addition to entry tickets.
