Best of the Fest - Your guide to the must-see events on Saturday at Electric Picnic

FOOD

For those not coming with stacks of cans and packs of cereal bars, Electric Picnic is spoiling us once again with a stunning selection of food and drink choices.

Electric Picnic is a cashless event, so all traders, food and otherwise, will only take card/smartphone payments.

One of the most highly anticipated food sites will be Laois Taste, a diverse group of 26 Laois-based food and drink producers dedicated to promoting the Laois food and drink sector. Popping up at the late night arena, participating producers include Muller & O’Connell Bakery, Garryhinch Exotic Mushrooms, Castlewood Farm and Temptation Patisserie.

The Theatre of Food, curated by Samuel McKenna, will appeal to anyone with an appetite for inspiring tastings, talks, demos and workshops from star chefs. The theatre will be providing entertainment along with your meal, as a busy Saturday lineup includes discussions on Seafood Brunch (12pm) and a live conversation on wine with samples (1pm).

On the Garden Stage, expect the best barbecue bites of the weekend with Smokin’ Soul barbecue maestros Pat and Jim. The stage will also play host to barbecue masterclasses, not to be missed for the food-savvy among us!

The main stage food options will cater to anyone, as Pitt Bros, Vice Pizza, Wings, Camile, Little Dumpling and so much more will be on offer for all in attendance.
