The Big Feastival


It's festival season in London town, and we got involved yesterday by heading to Clapham for Jamie Oliver's Big Feastival. The common had been set up with music stages, kitchen tents, and all sorts of different food outlets. 


There were several bar tents too, so we were able to enjoy some girly fruit cider whilst making our all-important food decisions.


I went for the Locanda Locatelli tent, which was doing a roaring trade in little dishes of pasta and flatbreads topped with parma ham and rocket.  The parma ham was being freshly sliced as required, and was as salty and succulent as you could wish for.


My only complaint was the size of the portion - I could have eaten twice what I was given, and for the £5 price tag I definitely expected more.  Still, the flatbread was puffy and perfectly cooked, the rocket fresh - good quality food when you think it was being produced on a grand scale.  

Fresh cherries (cherries! yay!) on the grass whilst listening to the live bands.
