The unique thing about the Somerset Street Food Festival is that no two traders offer the same cuisine. You could feast on anything from Indian to Vietnamese, Thai to Moroccan, Mexican to Afghan, Caribbean to Uzbek, with food to suit every dietary requirement and plenty to satisfy your sweet tooth! Whether you’re looking to try something new, or just want a banging burger to go with an ice-cold lager while listening to some live music, we’ve got everything you need!
As part of our commitment to sustainability and to help us reduce single-use plastic this year we’ve introduced reusable cups at the bar. Simply pay a one-off fee of £2 with your first drinks order to receive your very own branded cup. You’ll use this cup throughout your visit and it’s yours to take home as a souvenir from a great day out.
Residents of Somerset and beyond, get ready to feast upon some of the top street food that the UK has to offer. It will be a great food-fuelled weekend, full of refreshing drinks, entertainment and fun for all the family. It’s going to be a weekend to remember!
