London’s biggest food festival is back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. From 17 to 21 June, Taste of London will once again take over The Regent’s Park, bringing together the capital’s most exciting restaurants, chefs and producers for five days of indulgence in the summer sun.
This year’s edition promises a packed programme of culinary experiences, with more than 30 restaurants serving over 130 dishes. The 2026 line-up blends established favourites with standout newcomers, reflecting London’s ever-evolving food scene.
Among the new additions are Hakkasan, Yauatcha, Harry’s, and Ixchel, alongside returning crowd-pleasers like Los Mochis, known for its inventive blend of Mexican and Japanese flavours.
Beyond the plates, the festival leans heavily into live experiences. Visitors can expect fire-fuelled cooking demonstrations, hands-on masterclasses and chef-led sessions across dedicated spaces like The Fire Pit and BBQ Cook School. Familiar faces will be taking to the stage, including Big Zuu and Melissa Thompson, alongside rising culinary talent such as Nathaniel Mortley and Christina Sots.
Drinks also take centre stage. From rosé tastings hosted by La Vieille Ferme, often dubbed “Chicken Wine”, to cocktail workshops featuring Jack Daniel’s latest blackberry and lemonade blend, the festival offers plenty of ways to sip and savour. Meanwhile, immersive brand activations and VIP experiences, including the return of the Miraval rosé yacht, add a touch of escapism to the park setting.
A major new addition, Taste of the City, expands the festival beyond its traditional footprint. Running from 15 to 21 June, this citywide programme will host exclusive dining events, chef collaborations, and cultural experiences across London.
Highlights include a one-off launch event at JOIA Rooftop, featuring a high-profile collaboration between chefs such as Henrique Sá Pessoa and Chris Golding. Elsewhere, venues like Pavyllon London and ArrosQD will host special menus and interactive experiences, while The Hoxton Rondo will offer a rotating chef residency throughout the week.
For food lovers, the appeal goes beyond eating and drinking because a curated marketplace featuring over 160 artisan producers will showcase everything from premium ingredients to wellness products and emerging food trends, turning the festival into a one-stop destination for discovery.
With ticket options ranging from general entry to VIP packages, organisers are encouraging early booking as popular sessions are expected to sell out quickly.
