Everything you need to know about the EatDrink24/7 launch party

As always the launch of EatDrink24/7 2025 will be a celebration of Bristol’s food and drink scene with one off collaborations from some of the best and most recommended restaurants and street food stalls from our annual food and drink guide.

This year’s party is at Lakota yard on Thursday June 26 and we’re very excited to try mouth watering dishes including Cantonese roast pork, steamed spicy coconut butternut squash bao buns paired with cucumber, chilli, coriander, burnt lemon sesame and more from the Root and Clouds collaboration.

If that’s not enough Fat Rice and Gigis Pizza are teaming up to bring you a Malaysian inspired pizza that sounds like nothing we’ve tried before- tender satay chicken marinated overnight, grilled over charcoal with rich peanut sauce, bubbling mozzarella and layers of sharp red onion, sweet pickled cucumber, honey peanuts, puffed rice, crispy onions and a fresh squeeze of lime. Blimey!

There’ll also be a free special ‘Hop off the Press’ IPA brewed only for this event from our good friends at Left Handed Giant. All attendees can expect either a free Hop off the Press,  a non-alcoholic Clear Head from Bristol Beer Factory or a Thatchers for those who prefer a cider in the sun.

But it wouldn’t be a Bristol party without some great music and we’re delighted to announce the full line-up for this year’s event.

Who better to get a (hopefully) sunny outdoor party going than celebrated local collective Bristol Hi-Fi. Represented at this event by DJs Queen Bee and Mr Benn you can expect anything from hip-hop and soul to reggae and dancehall, afrobeat, soca and jungle from these Bristol stalwarts.

Femme Rouge will be bringing her infectious energy and flawlessly blended, bass-heavy multi-genre style to proceedings. A familiar face in Bristol’s underground scene she’s lit up iconic venues including Motion and The Full Moon alongside artists like Hamdi and Mungo’s Hi Fi.

Also on the bill is Joy@, who draws on his Portuguese and Mozambican heritage to bring energetic sets covering house, garage, afrobeat and jungle.

Finishing off proceedings we have Dan Carboni whose first set was alongside BobaFatt in Moles in Bath, playing house and disco. Svengali put on Mongrel nights that were renowned for jungle, dubstep and dancehall in Bristol clubs from Lakota to Black Swan and many in between. Both have been playing tunes since the early 2000s at different ends of the electronic music spectrum, so who knows what to expect from this one.

Ben Jammin is a Bristol-based music producer and DJ. He’s the winner of the dj competition organised for this event by dbs where he’s currently studying on the BA Electronic Music Production degree.

The event starts at 5.30pm and finishes at 10.30pm. Kids and dogs (accompanied by a responsible adult/owner) are very welcome.
