Taste of London appears in our calendar twice a year, but the summer event is undoubtedly the highlight of the season – five days of incredible food, masterclasses, drink tastings, special events and more, all in the glory and splendour of the British sunshine (we hope).
As always, the main attraction is the restaurant stands, and this year’s line-up is stacked full of big names from all over the country. Alongside daily special appearances (which we’ll talk about later), there’s a whole host of restaurants that’ll be setting up shop at Taste of London for the entirety of the festival, starting at lunchtime on Wednesday 19 June all the way through until it closes on Sunday evening.
Ever popular London stalwarts like Bao, Hoppers and Burger & Lobster are joined by some exciting new faces; after an impressive first year, Chase Lovecky’s Two Lights will be making its first Taste of London appearance, and the likes of Kutir, Berenjak and Berber & Q are also worth a visit if you’re craving something a little more exotic. Brixton-based Smoke & Salt – one of our highlights from last year’s Taste of London – are back again serving innovative small plates, and Great British Chefs alumni Francesco Mazzei and Pascal Aussignac are in for the long haul too with Sartoria and Club Gascon respectively – absolutely worth popping into if you’re after some delicious Italian or French food.
