Forest Feastival is one of the most gorgeously set food festivals you will visit. With festoon lighting leading you from the car park through the woods and eventually to the site in Merthyr Mawr, Bridgend, it's a vision of disco balls, rainbow-coloured bunting, campfires, tipis, parasols and rustic lushness. Add in the waft of freshly-cooked scran from some of Wales' best street food traders and you've got yourself a pretty delicious set up.
This time round, visitors can also enjoy an exclusive preview of food from the brand new restaurant Tukka Tuk Canteen, the long-awaited venture from Purple Poppadom's Anand George and Rupali Wagh. To say I was excited to sink my teeth into some new dishes from this delicious dream team is an understatement - and I'm glad to say they lived up to expectation.
Tukka Tuk Canteen is the fourth Tukka Tuk project - and its first permanent restaurant - and it's planned to open on Cardiff's Whitchurch Road, which has become something of a foodie mecca, towards the end of the year. It follows the success of Tukka Tuk pop ups at Goodsheds in Barry, Cardiff Market and Swansea's Founders & Co.
