FOOD & DRINK
THE FOOD
We bloody LOVE food - whether it's cooking up a feast for friends, going out to try all kinds of cuisines or watching food shows on telly, it's something we talk about a LOT. So when it came down to what to do about food at Homestead, we knew there was only one option and that was teaming up with our friends Simon and Matt from Picnic who we’ve worked with for years on all kinds of events - they even fed everyone at our wedding!
THE DRINKS
No party is complete without lashings of good drinks and we will have that in spades. We have teamed up with Bristol Beer Factory as our main beer supplier. We really love what this local brewery is doing in terms of supporting the local communities whilst being very conscious of their environmental impact... And they are also pretty good at brewing beer!
Our bars won’t charge you for cups and will always be fairly priced. Wherever possible we will work with local brands and suppliers, people that pride themselves on their sustainable footprint and make a damn good beverage!
Put it this way, you won't go hungry or thirsty at Homestead and you can feel good about doing it!
South Bristol based brewery Bristol Beer Factory pioneered independent beer in our home city, built on a passion for pubs and they continue to support venues with a laser focus on raising up these vital community spaces.
“We brew to unite people and communities over world class beer. Festivals are totally aligned to this vision; creating a world for their community to step away from the day-to-day, a space to celebrate and be totally present with their people. Homestead and Bristol Beer Factory were always meant to be, two teams that are driven by a passion for creating an experience and space that bring people together.”
BBF wears the Bristol name as a badge of honour, every beer you drink at the festival will give back to the city through the Brewed to Give initiative - a 2% tax on total brewery sales which is invested in groups that positively impact people and places across Bristol. Since May 2023 they have supported over 215 charities and raised over £330,000 for the local Bristol community. Let’s raise a pint to that!
Matt & Simon find the finest ingredients, sourced with love and pride from local suppliers and put together menus that make your mouth water so we knew they’d be the perfect fit to take the wheel to feed you all at Homestead.
We are doing things a little differently at Homestead - breakfast will be on us to start the day!
The Homestead Kitchen will be serving up street food all day and late night with their legendary burgers (if you know, you KNOW!) plus other snacky bits to keep you fuelled for the party. They will also be welcoming some of their friends and Bristol’s best kitchens down to park up and serve some alternative menus throughout the weekend. There will be plenty to choose from for all dietary requirements.
Not only that, there will be a Sunday Summer Roast on offer - all lovingly made by Matt and Simon using meat and veg from the farm and their neighbours so we can all sit and celebrate a weekend well done together.
