Riverboat Food Festival

Pace-setting, taste making recommendations website Twenty Something London is collaborating with 15 of London's most talented, radical street food vendors on a boat - namely Tamesis Dock, the fabulous Vauxhall floating pub - to cook up a three-night 'food porn' feast entitled The Riverboat Food Festival.

With the tag-line The Finest Food, Fresh Off The Street the Riverboat Food Festival combines a unique fusion of fine dining with the greatest street eating, all aboard a beautifully converted Dutch barge with fantastic views over the Thames, accompanied by DJ sets from Young & Lost Club and Live & Unamplified.

On each of the three nights from Thursday 27th to Saturday 29th June, the festival will showcase an expertly curated menu of five courses, each exquisite dish created by one of our 15 gurus of guerrilla cuisine, many of them invented specially for this event.

The chefs each day will work as a team to get each dish out as one kitchen. So you can expect a mouth-watering melting pot of ingredients and influences you’ll find nowhere else under one roof – or indeed under a roof at all.

Well-known names and newcomers alike, these 15 food free-stylers are reclaiming the real food flame; they are to today’s big, bland lunch chains what New Order were to soppy 70s pop – so it’s all about the flavour not the frills.

This is cooking in the flesh, if not quite in the raw, so you get exactly what the chef creates: no substitutions, no veggie options and not a single well-done steak in sight.

In short, casual grazers, flavour-phobics and non-foodies need not apply. That said, this is the antithesis of an expensive 5-course meal – and the entire experience very deliberately comes at a very affordable £25.

TSL promise it’s going to be a hedonistic evening for your taste buds; a Glastonbury for gourmets!
