The line-up has been curated with a passion for incredible food, craft-beers, new-world wines and liquors, and features an impressive list of special partners and next level collaborations, with two of the UK’s best and most exciting chefs coming together for a one-off ‘feast’ on Sunday 30th May.

The man himself – Simon Martin

Fully curated, intimate affairs with one-off menus and wines made by the world’s most innovative producers, ‘KANTINA FEAST: Sunday 30th May’ will feature Michelin star Chefs Simon Martin (Mana) and Paul Leonard (Forest Side) joining forces to create a feast to remember.
