Big Feastival 2022: A Gallery - Philleigh Way Cookery School

Over the August Bank Holiday weekend we had the pleasure of feeding hundreds of happy festival-goers at this year’s Big Feastival. Hosted by Alex James on his farm in The Cotswolds, the weekend is a celebration of food, producers, music and good times. We got stuck into all three, hosting the Feast On The Farm tent for the second year running with a menu championing the best Cornish produce, and then enjoying ourselves as a team once service had finished and the music got going.

A HUGE thank you to the hard-working, hard-playing team who made this year another huge success for us. There’s not really a “front of house” and “kitchen” at an event like this – it’s all on display and everybody gets stuck in, and they were absolutely amazing.
