Festivals take all sorts of forms. They’re not just for music, and can also celebrate comedy, literature and other arts, as well as food. Whether a festival is spread across a few fields of centred around a town or city, there’s one thing that’s for certain: festival goers need to be fed. Good food is essential at any festival, and it needs to cater to the types of people who are going to turn up.

The night consisted of a unique canape menu put together by one of our talented chefs, Sophie Godwin, who managed to innovatively align each course with a cuisine that featured in the film, which was paired with wines chosen by the talented Margot Tyson.
