Big Eat Festival celebrating the best of Hampshire street food to return in 2023

The Big Eat Festival will now place over three days instead of one – on September 8, 9 and 10 at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley.

The event will feature street food vendors from across the south in a celebration of local food and talent with all the profits going to charity.

New additions for 2023 include onsite camping, as well as a comedy tent, live music and entertainment for all ages.

And the Hampshire Street Food Awards are returning in 2023 at the second Big Eat event. A panel of expert judges will be attending to crown the winners.

All street food vendors will be entered into award categories including Best Pizza, Best Dessert, Best Vegan Cuisine, Best Barbecue Food and many more.

Founder Jeremy Gaskin is now looking for the best and most-loved street vendors from across the south to sign up for next year’s event to secure their pitches. Vendors can register their interest at the website below.

Jeremy said: ‘I’m very excited for our second Big Eat festival. The festival will be bigger and better and we hope to raise even more money for charity. The Big Eat will encourage the community to connect and celebrate outstanding Hampshire street food.

‘The wide range of award categories means we can recognise and appreciate the amazing range of food we have right on our doorstep.’
