Taste of London is back for 2024, marking the food festival’s 20th anniversary.
Regent’s Park is set to be transformed once again into a busy culinary playground, as dozens of the London’s leading restaurants pitch a tent over the five-day festival, with Taste also promising to provide a platform for “future food heroes.”
Among the big names set to appear are the Big Mamma Group’s Circolo Popolare, Roka and Le Petit Beefbar.
Alongside food stands, set to serve a record-breaking 120 dishes, there will be drinks bars, themed workshops, cooking classes, live music and entertainment. More than 55,000 diners expected to attend over the five-day period.
Cecile Rebbot, vice president for IMG, who are behind the festival, said of this year’s event: “We’re thrilled to be returning to Regent’s Park for another week of amazing food by some of London’s most-loved restaurants.
“As Taste of London celebrates its 20th year, it’s a testament to the continued culinary magic here in London. It’s great to see some Taste veterans returning alongside restaurants showcasing their cuisines for the very first time.”
