The Coolest Food Festivals for 2018

Prepare yourself to taste some of the finest pizza in the capital as the line-up sure is a pizza work. The Perfectionists’ Cafe will be attending with their wood-fired Neapolitan style pizzas, from the one and only Heston Blumenthal, so if you’ve always wanted to try a Michelin-starred pizza, here’s your chance. Hai Cenato will be popping along with their range of sourdough pizzas which they describe as ‘classic and inventive’. The new Battersea-based Copenhagen style Mother, will be showcasing their sourdough pizzas which are made with sea water (yes, you read that right).

One of London’s pizza gems, Santa Maria are also getting in on the act serving their authentic Neapolitan pizzas. Vegans, brace yourselves as they sell a selection of delicious plant-based pizzas! Wandercrust (we love the name too), are a pizza van business who use a simple water, salt, fresh yeast and a blend of flours in their light dough before letting it sit for 30 hours in room temperature. Last but definitely not least is ‘O ver, which were one of the first and even now few pizza restaurants in the whole of the UK to use purified natural seawater in their authentic and healthy pizzas; their traditional menu features only the best regional ingredients around.
