River Feast, a new summer festival for foodies, launches at Henley Royal Regatta this July, bringing together a unique collection of passionate traders for the iconic annual sporting event

Located at the halfway point of the racecourse, River Feast, running 2-6 July from 10am to midnight, will be at the heart of the regatta action and offer some well deserved respite from the sun with delicious food, drink and some fantastic entertainment.

With magnificent views of the river, River Feast will include its own street food village and a fantastic selection of popular food vendors to keep festival-goers fed and watered. In attendance will be Pit Smoked BBQ, with their custom-built trailer pit and well-established reputation for serving up ‘low ‘n’ slow’ US style cooking – a truly authentic BBQ experience.

Rotisserie concept truck, The Duck Truck, has spent years working with some of the UK’s best duck farmers to develop the greatest recipes and perfectly refined cooking techniques to allow the most succulent dishes possible. Finally, bringing a slice of the Mediterranean to Henley will be Rossopomodoro with their Neapolitan wood-burning oven. Made using only the highest quality Italian ingredients, Rossopomdoro’s Neapolitan style pizzas will be a tasty addition to the food village at River Feast.

Providing necessary refreshment throughout the day will be Chase Distillery – the award winning ‘field to bottle’ British distillery from Herfordshire – who will be taking their very own cocktail bar and mixologists to showcase the premium spirits in all their glory. Think Gooseberry Smash and Summer Cups in watering cans.

For those in need of something a little longer, Meantime Brewery will be on hand to serve their celebrated craft beer along with Mortimer’s Orchards Cider Bar who will offer classic, premium English cider by the glass.

Lanson’s Champagne Bar will bring a touch of luxury to River Feast and serve the obligatory bottle for any celebratory victories, ensuring they are chilled to perfection. Additionally, Lanson will host an exclusive supper club at River Feast. With only five sittings of 60 people, be sure to book your space early. Tickets will start at £150 and include 4 courses expertly paired with Lanson’s finest Cuvvees with the best view of the river around.

Finally, a night at The Henley Royal Regatta would not be complete without a visit to The Henley Champagne and Cocktail Club. Situated alongside River Feast with VIP Tables and World Class DJ’s until midnight, the club will be playing host to some of London’s top Nightclubs including London’s infamous table tennis destination, Ping. The HCCC is this year’s must go to venue to Party late into the night.

And not forgetting entertainment, River Feast’s stage will act as a platform for up-and-coming British acoustic acts, adding to the relaxing atmosphere and charm of the setting. And if the rowing isn’t enough to satisfy your sporting needs, Wimbledon finals will be screened live at the festival so you don’t have to miss any of the action.
