The Broadstairs Food Festival is back at Victoria Gardens from September 29-October 1.
The annual, free-to-enter event will have more than 100 stalls of local and regional produce, many of them Taste of Kent award winners. Kingcott Dairy will be back, with Kentish Blue, voted Cheese of the Year, joined on the gold platform by Thanet chocolatier, Nik Robinson of The Chocolate Pig and Funky Feast, with their tapas-based street food.
This year’s Kitchen Theatre is bigger than ever before, welcoming some of the county’s most celebrated chefs to its stage. Festival-goers can enjoy free demonstrations from the likes of Curve Coffee, who will take you on a journey of coffee discovery, and Nena Foster, nutrition and fermentation specialist, who will demonstrate how to feed your gut microbiome.
Ticketed events include Mariachi of Margate, talking tequila and Natalia Ribbe from Sète in Margate, sharing her passion for natural wines in a tasting masterclass.
Chefs and cooks lined up in the Kitchen Theatre include cookbook author and Great British Bake-off finalist Chetna Makan, Rob Cooper from Angela’s, Margate, Matt Sworder from The Corner House, Canterbury, and Michelin starred chefs: Dan Smith from the Fordwich Arms and Stephen Harris from The Sportsman, Seasalter.
The first night of the festival will play host to a special five-course banquet – Taste of the Place -with five chefs cooking a course each, representing the flavours of Japan, South East Asia, Ethiopia, the Middle East, and Europe.
Tickets for the dinner are priced at £55 per person and available from the festival website.

You can watch a film and buy it at home, buy a beer and take it home, you can look at some pictures to avoid going on holiday, but the experience is still a large part of it !
I doubt you could even afford Lidl. You have never been to a food fair in your life.
Unfortunately, “Delusion World” oops sorry “Real World” no longer needs to attend the event as you’ve all fed his ego by commenting on his dreary insignificant comments!
Broadstairs must be full of Gannets with all these Food Festivals, never hear of a Ramsgate or Margate one.
I stopped going in the end, just found it full of the same old stalls with same old stuff, got a good quality non stick frying pan and a good set of knives a few years back, never really needed them mind 🙂
middle class nonsense…stuffed olives..i ask you?
