Favorite Feasts and MUST EATS !

The upon entering the grounds, you’ll be taken back by the incredible aromas that fill the air! From traditional festival foods, to fun period inspired dishes, there’s something for everyone’s appetite! And of course, there is lots of ale and wine to cleanse the pallet and toast to the Queen!

Turkey Leg

Smoked Turkey Leg is a must eat!

This giant smoked drumstick is one of the iconic and most sought after eats at the festival. And it’s no surprise as to why! You’re handed the leg with the bone wrapped in foil to make it portable and easy to chomp into while you walk around the fair. Juicy and tender, this one is a must have!

Bread Bowls

Roasted Corn

This festival is a perfect Food Adventure.

There is also a place on site that is a sit down restaurant dedicated to “Medieval Style BBQ.”  We had to stop in and visit this spot…

 

 

Variety of smoked meats from 1572!

1572 Road House Bar-BQ & 3 Fools Pub

Famous for their award winning sauces and rubs, 1572 offers big servings and even bigger flavors! One of our favorite meals is the smoked jalapeno Texas style sausage!

The Mudde Show

There are shows and performances all day performed on 14 different stages! One of our favorites for adults is the Mudde Show. Be sure to sit back a few rows unless you’re ok with getting  splattered with chunks of mud!
