The annual Colchester Food and Drink Festival is once again taking place at the picturesque Castle Park, and it is expected to be an exceptional event offering a diverse range of food and drink options. This year’s festival will showcase a mix of familiar favourites as well as new and exciting stalls and products that are certain to tantalize the taste buds. From local delicacies to international cuisine, there will be a plethora of offerings to explore and sample, with the opportunity to also purchase delectable treats to take home.
A key attraction of the festival will be the Pikestaff Inn real ale bar, which will serve a variety of ciders and cold lagers. Patrons will also have the option to acquire a four pint ‘growler’ of their superb ales to enjoy on site or in the comfort of their own homes.
Visitors can anticipate a serene and pleasurable ambiance as they peruse the stalls and partake in artisanal food, vegan specialties, and a range of global cuisines. To heighten the excitement, there is also the chance to win a VIP table at the festival, offering a truly luxurious experience.
