The best family event of the summer, Camp Bestival, has announced the return of its legendary carnival of cuisine, The Feast Collective. And if you’re heading down to Dorset this summer there are some familiar local faces for you to look out for! The Feast Collective is back for its sixth year featuring exceptional, artisan food producers from across the UK in Lulworth Castle from the 25th – 28th July 2019.

Once again, Camp Bestival has hunted down the best independent chefs, street vendors, and creative food makers to bring them together at the ultimate outdoor feasting experience. The Feast Collective is a food lovers’ haven bringing together a truly mouth-watering array of provocative food producers, steamy street food wizards and intoxicating cooks to provide the most seductive festival food you’re ever likely to taste.

If you’re a frequent visitor of Last Friday at LCB Depot in the Cultural Quarter then you’re probably already familiar with Bomboo Street Food! The Leicester lads who are so hot here on the vegan scene are now heading down south to showcase their awesome food to the crowds at Camp Bestival too.

Also returning is gastronomic genius of DJ BBQ, (aka Christian Stevenson) a live fire chef and leading name in the world of BBQ. Bringing an entirely different flavour and style to the tent, West African trailblazer Zoe Adjonyoh of Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen returns serving impeccable home-cooked Ghanaian food with love as one of London’s hottest chefs.

Alongside Bamboo Street Food, The Feast Collective remains at the forefront of vegan and vegetarian food offerings, including Avant Garde Vegan by Gaz Oakley, providing fun, imaginative vegan food celebrating the classics we all love, with all the flavour and colour, and none of the compromise. Jake’s Vegan Steaks is an all vegan street food company, specialising in serving up Philadelphia style cheezesteaks, with an innovative plant-based twist. Happy Maki, serve up vegan sushi bursting with fusion fillings and British Street Food Award winners, Seadog specialise in world inspired street food dishes using local sourced, sustainable fish and seafood.

Jeff The Oyster Man, from the fields and the seas of the south, is inspired by his love of seafood and French style market dining – his mission is to bring delicious, sustainable and local gourmet food to festivals and markets around the UK. Popdogs has now gone 100% plant-based offering vegan ‘pork’, Korean style hot dogs & even jerk BBQ.

Fear not if you are carnivorously inclined there are some meaty options including wood-fired grilled barbeques by ASADO, Portuguese steak sandwiches or ‘Pregos’ from Growlers, Venezuelan food by Guasacaca, Vietnamese street food from Hanoi Kitchen, flavours of South Eastern Mexico from Elote and BBQ chicken tikka wraps from 2016 British street food awards winner Baked In A Brick. Sugo are a young team of Italian chefs who aim to transform the way Italian food is experienced in the UK by delivering iconic Italian dishes in their own unique and innovative way.

There will also be Malay and Indonesian street dishes by Makatcha and a taste of Northern Thailand from Krapow. Raclette Brothers will serve up really cheesy traditional Alpine street food with a modern twist – everything is based around melting wheels of raclette!

Savoury or sweet, a simple crêpe can become a gourmet foodie experience with Crêpe Kings, the brainchild of Chef Joe Black and inspired by his love for French and Japanese food.

Ethics and sustainability are at DÁPPA’s core, who are on mission to prove how tasty dairy-free can be with every ice cream sold being a step towards a more sustainable future.

There will also be delicious gourmet drinks from Monkshood Coffee.

And as well of all that amazing food, there’s obviously the music too! Jess Glynne, Lewis Capaldi, Annie Mac, Nile Rodgers. Don’t miss out on the best family weekend of the summer.
