Yum! Food Festival

Hull city centre plays host to the ninth Yum! Festival of Food and Drink - two days of fresh local produce and tasty street food around the Rose Bowl and Queens Gardens. With over 70 stalls of delicious hot and cold food, a variety of alcoholic and soft drinks, as well as free children’s entertainment ranging from face painting to cupcake decorating and healthy cookery classes. Whether you want something to eat or drink ‘on the go’, to sit and savour your food in our picnic area, or to stock up on an array of exciting ingredients to make your own dishes at home, Yum! is the place to be.

Yum! is back for 2019 in Queens Gardens and around the Rose Bowl, with lots of local food businesses taking part and many more children's activities planned for this year. Friday 9th and Saturday 10th August, 11am-7pm. You heard it here first!

We are delighted that two of our regular traders at the Hull Street Food Nights and Yum! Festival of Food and Drink have been recognised at the British Street Food Awards for the excellent food they produce.
John and Lisa from ParmStar won the award for the best main dish, with their Teeside delicacy parmo – a grilled chicken cutlet smothered in bechamel sauce and cheese, in a bun.
One of our own in Tom Stafford, who is from Hull and is in his first year of trading with Doh...'hut, won the best dessert and the overall British Street Food Champion award with his Madagascan vanilla creme pat donut topped with honeycomb and homemade shortbread.
The food was judged and tasted by the expert judging panel of Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar from the Million Pound Menu, Michelin-starred chef Richard Corrigan from the Great British Menu, 2017 winner of the Great British Menu Pip Lacey and food writer Gizzi Erskine.
Now the race is on for Tom to get packed up and on the Hull to Rotterdam ferry to travel to Berlin representing the UK (and obviously Yorkshire!) for the European Street Food Awards Final on Saturday 29 September.

We attended last year. Plenty to see and eat. Street entertainment was good too. Saw a young girl ( about 12/13 years old) singing in public for her very first time! She was fabulous! Such talent

Last year I happened on the event by accident but it was brilliant. Fab atmosphere and an opportunity to discover hidden food delights that is in Hull. Excited about this year.

Great food. (Even better with winning the quiz)
