Greenwich Peninsula is hosting a two-day festival later this month, The Joy of Food, celebrating our appetites for all things delicious.
There’s eight events in total: look forward to workshops, tastings, talks and more.
On Saturday 19, a Victoria sponge decorating workshop (£10) jostles for your attention with a talk and tasting from craft lager specialists Freedom Brewery (free); a discussion on natural food dye hosted by Bella Gonshorovitz (free); and a sushi making workshop (£10).
Prefer to simply get stuck in? Head to the courtyard of street food hub Canteen (4pm – 10pm) where the Street Food Social is offering punters the chance to sample dishes from Mexico to Hawaii and everywhere in between, while DJs spin the decks and cocktails are shaken up before your eyes.
If you’re after something more refined, however, then book a ticket to Bureau’s small plates and wine pairing experience (£40), where dishes of grilled sardines, lamb rump and strawberry pavlova are paired with wines from London importer Provisions.
Visit on Sunday and you can get engrossed in a ‘waste meets design’ workshop, learning how to make botanical patterns out of upcycled fabric (£10), or jump straight into hedonism with a champagne and cheese tasting session (£22.38).
Various locations at Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10.
August 19 & 20, times vary depending on event.
Admission: Free – £40 depending on event.
