Taste of London 2026 Returns to Regent’s Park: Restaurants, Chefs and Must-See Experiences

Taste of London returns to Regent’s Park from 17–21 June 2026, bringing together more than 30 restaurants, 160 artisan producers, and a programme of chef demonstrations, tastings and food experiences across eight timed sessions.

Taste of London returns to Regent’s Park this June. Across five days, the park becomes a rotating food space of restaurant pop-ups, chef-led demonstrations and tasting experiences.

The festival runs across eight timed sessions between 17 and 21 June 2026, bringing together restaurants, producers and chefs from across London.

The Restaurants We’re Heading For

This year’s line-up reflects the breadth of London’s dining scene, from established names to newer openings.

New additions include Hakkasan, Yauatcha, Harry’s and Ixchel.

They sit alongside returning favourites such as Los Mochis, Roka, Sexy Fish, Dumplings’ Legend and Roti King.

With rotating daily specials and more than 130 dishes across the festival, the format is designed for grazing, discovery and repeat visits.

Beyond the Plate: Experiences to Book First

The Fire Pit remains one of the festival’s most visual highlights, with live-fire cooking and chef demonstrations from Big Zuu, Melissa Thompson, Imad Alarnab and Nathaniel Mortley (Natty Can Cook). It is one of the most active spaces for live cooking and audience interaction.

The BBQ Cook School and Taste Cook School offer hands-on sessions for visitors who want to take part directly, while Taste Sessions host tastings, talks and food-focused discussions.

The artisan market brings together more than 160 producers, ranging from small-batch condiments to emerging food and drink brands. It remains one of the strongest discovery areas at the festival.

Drinks, Summer Energy and Brand Takeovers

The drinks programme is built around immersive brand spaces and tasting experiences.

St-Germain brings pétanque and spritz serves, creating a relaxed garden-style setting in the park.

Miraval returns with its Provençal-inspired yacht experience, offering a slower, rosé-led space within the festival.

Jack Daniel’s introduces its Blackberry & Lemonade cocktail activation, alongside workshops and music-led programming.

La Vieille Ferme continues its wine tastings and pairing experiences across the site.

Who to Watch

Among the personalities at this year’s festival is Angelo Coassin, known as Cooking with Bello. Ikon London’s favourite, he is known globally for his viral Instagram account Cooking with Bello and his cookbook Cook Like a Real Italian, where his energetic Italian home cooking style has built a large online following. Visitors will find him at the Prosecco DOC and Grana Padano stand, where he will showcase one of Italy’s most classic pairings: sparkling Prosecco and aged cheese.

Alongside him are Big Zuu, Melissa Thompson, Natty Can Cook and Christina Sots, reflecting the mix of chefs and digital food creators shaping how audiences engage with food today.

How to Spend a Visit

Treat each timed session as a choice between three types of experience: food discovery, live activity, or slower drinks-led moments.

Start with the Fire Pit or a first restaurant stop while queues are light, then move towards the artisan market to explore new producers between tastings.

Book cook schools in advance if you want a structured highlight, as these run at set times and work best as planned moments rather than walk-ins.

For a slower break, the Miraval space and St-Germain pétanque garden offer quieter areas to pause between food stops.
