Park Royal has long been known as ‘London’s Kitchen’ as its manufacturers feed one third of Londoners on a daily basis. The Food Festival is a great opportunity for businesses and local residents to come together, connect, share ideas and sample a diverse and wonderful array of different culinary delights. Whether it’s street food, traditional pub fare, Asian cuisine, ready meals, Lebanese specialities or breads and pastries, Park Royal really has something for everyone. The food sector is a vital and vibrant part of Park Royal and we are so delighted to welcome this festival for the first time.
