Nunhead Bites

[Bluerevolution]

Did any of you venture over to SE15 for Nunhead Bites which was held over the weekend on Nunhead Green ? If so, comments are welcome

Yep, I was there on Sunday afternoon when the weather was sunny. There were lots of people there which was good to see. The food stands were tasty and interesting and I enjoyed a couple of nice ales! The children seemed to be well entertained too.

I drove past on Sunday on my way back from Greenwich. Couldn't stop, but it looked great. Loads of people there.

Decent selection of food. Lots of people.

If I could offer a small piece of advice: someone should let the girls with the portable wheely-amplifier know: 'the sound comes out of the front'.

I live in Nunhead so went both days, shame about the weather on Saturday. The Twelth Night performance in the Salvation Army Hall was great, not sure I followed the story but the actors were amazing.

On Sunday the samba band were great fun and I really enjoyed the workshop, think the adults started enjoying it more than the children.

Didn't really try any of the food due it's price and the majority of it being non-vegetarian.

Went both days. Great food, particularly the wraps of raastawala. Samba band were great, turnout was fantastic; so good to see Nunhead buzzing. Hope it happens again next year.

There was lots of vegetarian food available. Didn't try any of the wraps or burgers because the prices were way too high for my budget.

The curly potatoes on a stick were wonderful.

A really nice afternoon, made even better by the sun shining. Couldn't believe how busy it was.

Sadly unable to attend so glad to read about people's thoughts. Sad to read people thought the street food (was it all street food?) was too expensive though. Don't see why that has to be the case. Shame!

The chip/curly potato stall prices were very reasonable.

All the wraps & burgers were between ?5 & ?7 each which is a bit much if on a tight budget.

There was a stall selling jerk chicken, rice & peas & salad for ?6.

My daughter asked if she could just have rice & peas & salad without the meat & the guy said he would do it for ?5.

Says it all really.

Sunday was really nice there. A good selection of food stalls with varying prices, with something to suit most people. I hope this festival gets repeated as the only problem I had was not being able to sample all the foods available.

Next one is 13th December-11am til 7pm Holly Grove Park www.pexmas.com or twitter @Pexmas. I was the guy with the ladder and sweeping brush on Saturday morning getting drenched, trying to clear the rain water off stall holders awnings !!!

Really glad it was enjoyed and we hope to see you all in December, all comments are appreciated-good or bad.

Those complaining about prices, these are small businesses offering quality produce made with skill and love. I don't think ?5-7 is unreasonable for a decent lunch. You won't find much cheaper of a similar quality in London. Raastawala offered a huge wrap and mango lassie for ?5. Great value.

There's always morleys over the road if you want something cheap (no disrespect to Morleys, I'll destroy some chicken with the best of 'em)!

Saying you can't afford something is not the same as complaining.

Beards, Babies and Burgers.

And three threads on it. I'd say that's a result for the organisers. It was a good effort.

At one point there was a half decent attempt at a disco....but as one rastafarian guy said to me.... getting the english middle classes dancing at 3pm without much alcohol is a near impossible task.

I hope you 'spudded' him Mr Ben

Respec' an all

I thought it was great.

I only wish I'd prepared for saturday's weather better and made the coffee talk rather than heading home early to put on some more layers.

It was great to see such a variety of stalls and wish I'd bought a whole load of things to fill the freezer with.
