KERB have given us a whole festival dedicated to spice, they’ve given us a weekend full of South American bites, and now, for two days only, a festival celebrating foodie guilty pleasures. If you’re wondering, our guilty pleasure is a chicken kiev sandwich (use a baguette – it has better structural integrity).

This is KERB’s free second weekender of the summer, celebrating all the stuff that’s so wrong it’s quite frankly, so right. The two days (Friday July 21st – Saturday 22nd July) will be a chance to all get together (in what’s been a difficult year so far), and let loose in what really makes us happy, and indulge in a delicious cacophony of good ol’ nosh-talgia under the sky.

KERB Presents its Guiltiest Pleasures: The Lowdown

Sod the trends; go soggy-chip not hip, bottoms-up that butterscotch Angel Delight and chow down on your chicken dipper potato waffle hybrid sandwich with pride.

They’ve chosen 13 KERBanists to conjure up their best ‘show-stopper’ guilty pleasure dishes, and sling them out to lucky Londoners for two days straight. Oh, and there’ll be a live TV ‘Dream Themes‘ cover band, Old School DJ’s, 80’s Jane Fonda aerobics, KERB’s guiltiest pleasure cocktails, bingo and lucky dip to add to the hot fuzzy plunge pool of sins.

KERB Presents its Guiltiest Pleasures: The Food

KERB don’t do things by halves, and the line up for this festival is not exception. We’re talking about crisp sarnies, strawberry milkshake filled donuts, a paratha roll stuffed with battered fish, chips and mushy peas,  and curry chip butties. It’s going to go off.
