Taste of Christmas

Like its sister event, Taste of London, this food festival offers a range of theatres, masterclasses, demonstrations and tastings, all of them free with your entry ticket, and many of them featuring top names like Monica Galetti, Michel Roux Jr, Eric Lanlard and Valentine Warner. Taking over the historical Tobacco Docks this year, the indoor and outdoor space will be transformed into a wintery sanctuary. Additionally, visitors can buy 'currency' called crowns which can be exchanged for taster-sized portions of chefs' seasonal dishes – with 12 top restaurants represented at the show, including Disco Bistro, Salt Yard and the Cinnamon Club, there should be something to please everyone. It’s also a great place to stock up on food for the festive season.
