AFTER a necessary two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic, Street Food Festival returned to Milford Waterfront over the weekend (August 5-7) with a variety of outstanding street food traders.

In partnership with Street Food Warehouse, specialists in hosting food events around Wales and the South West,  the event offered an epic weekend of mouth-watering food from local, regional and national talents in the street food arena.

The glorious weather and delicious food guaranteed a wonderful weekend for the whole family.

There were dishes and cuisines from all over the world to sample, with something for everyone from North African to Mexican, fresh local seafood, sweet treats and drinks.

The festival hosted 20 of the country’s top street food traders, including authentic paella from The Spanish Buffet; wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas from Bare Bones Pizza; classic, oozing mac and cheese from Mac Man; Korean fried chicken, aromatic Thai curries and other pan-Asian favourites from Canoodle; and melt-in-the-mouth halloumi fries from Clark’s Kitchen. 

All allergies and dietary requirements were catered for with dairy and gluten free options, plus vegetarian and vegan treats available too. 

To wash down all the good food, the team from Freedom Brewery served refreshing craft beers, while the Pop Up Bar Hire Co provided other refreshments from soft drinks to prosecco and a selection of summery cocktails.

As a sweet treat, there were several stands selling a range of desserts, such as brownies, turkish delights and the incredibly popular – waffle on a stick. 

Street Food Festival also included a variety of options for those with allergies and dietary restrictions meaning everyone was able to have a great time. 

Everyone who attended the event had a wonderful experience – eating mouth-watering food from around the world, sipping refreshing cold drinks, and relaxing in the sun on the Waterfront. 

ON AUGUST 19, the Torch Theatre’s Sunset Cinema returns to Milford Waterfront, a vibrant holiday destination in Pembrokeshire, to showcase Top Gun: Maverick (12A), the new sequel to the iconic movie, Top Gun.

Located at Mackerel Quay, gates will open from 7pm with the film starting when light levels allow. Local businesses including Cheesy Cow and The Scoop Ice Cream Parlour will be open and available to purchase sweet and savoury treats for the viewing.

Lucy Wonnacott, Marketing Manager for Milford Waterfront said: “It is so great to be welcoming Sunset Cinema back to Milford Waterfront! We have collaborated with the Torch Theatre on these events a number of times, and it is always so exciting to offer a unique experience, watching the big screen with the Milford Haven Waterway at Milford Marina as the backdrop.
