Just Eat's 'Food Fest' is a food festival that was launched by the online food ordering and delivery service in London.
The festival had restaurants from across the UK gather in Shoreditch's Red Market, making it possible for attendees to sample good eats from across the country in one easy-to-access location. Some of the items available at Food Fest included everything from cold spicy banh mi sandwiches to strawberry cheesecake-flavored donuts. Other entertaining parts of the festival included live music and a cocktail bar featuring signature drinks like the Just Eat cocktail.
With the rise of foodie culture, food festivals and the presence of sponsors at large-scale outdoor events is far from uncommon. However, it's unique for Just Eat to throw entirely its own food festival.
