Bulletins Live ? Food and drink at the festival

Guardian Open Canteen – festival flavours curated by Oliver Rowe

The Guardian staff canteen will be transformed over the weekend to offer visitors a festival inspired, locally sourced menu. Curator Oliver Rowe, (food writer, chef-at-large, founder of Konstam in Kings Cross and star of the BBCs Urban Chef series), is committed to seasonal produce and local sourcing with a focus on northern and central European cuisine.
 
His festival menu combines nutritious and delicious food and includes salt beef sandwiches, spinach and nettle soup, London beer battered mackerel and root vegetable chips, lamb or vegetable cobbler, pulled pork, shredded chicken or mushroom ragout with salads. Perfect for eating on the hoof or a relaxed lunch.
 
Breakfast of bacon or roasted mushroom sandwiches will be served from 9.00am until 11.30am.
 
The canteen will be serving English wines and a selection of lagers, as well as Olivers home-made Seville orange and lemonade. Fairtrade, locally roasted coffee and Tregothnan tea will accompany the home made cake stall with meringues, Victoria sponge, pumpkin seed flapjacks, brownies and cupcakes.
 
The canteen is located on the first floor of the Guardian offices and is open to all festival goers.

Green amp; Fortune Caf?

An independent caf? sitting in the atrium of Kings Place that focuses on fresh, homemade food.

Our freshly made coffee comes from beans grown in happy farms across Guatemala, Costa Rica, Kenya and Sumatra, which is then hand-roasted by the Union guys and their team here in London. During the weekend, thanks to our partnership with Union, 10p from every cup of coffee sold will be donated to the local charity New Horizon Youth Centre.

Sandwiches are handmade every morning, yards away from where they are sold, while our in-house pastry chef ensures a healthy collection of just-out-the-oven cakes are always at hand. Our carvery counter provides great hot sandwiches heavily featuring lamb and beef from our own farm and with the addition of fresh salads and great hot dishes, there is something to cater for everyone.
