Food Options

Canterbury Faire offers a variety of ways to ensure you get enough sustenance:

• a catered meal plan
• a magnificent feast
• good site food preparation facilities
• The Mangy Mongol and other merchants

A daily hearty breakfast of porridge and fruit offerings is included in the general site fee.

As with most SCA events, you will be expected to bring your own feasting gear, cutlery, crockery and tea towels.

Optional Catered Meal Plan

We are pleased to offer an optional meal plan so that you need not be burdened with supplies and cooking pots.

The tasty, nutritious and very moderately-priced catered meal plan includes:

• Friday soup kitchen (this is free to all CF attendees)
• Saturday lunch (NB: no dinner on Saturday as this is the night of the Faire Feast)
• Sunday lunch and dinner
• Monday lunch and dinner
• Tuesday lunch and dinner
• Wednesday robbers' lunch

A vegetarian option is not currently planned, but this may change if demand is sufficient.

Adults participating in the meal plan are required to contribute approximately 2 hours work assisting with cooking, serving, cleanup, etc. It's a great way to meet people and catch up on the gossip....

Price: Adults $50; Children 12 and under $30

Other Eating Options

In the Mangy Mongol, Lady Veronica's kitchen offers hot pies, soup, pastries and other comestibles for purchase (including on Saturday night, during the Feast). There are also hot brunch options on the menu.

House Draco Veridis are likely to be again offering their superlative breakfast buns each morning, delivered to your place of repose.

There are three kitchens on site, which can be used by anyone; some equipment is available (eg pots and pans). You are expected to keep the kitchen areas clean and dispose of food scraps and other waste appropriately.

Please be aware that the catered meal cooks will have priority access to the main kitchen from 10am until dinner hour. On Saturday, the feast cook will have exclusive access to the main kitchen from noon until the feast finishes. There are other kitchens on site which can be used as alternatives if need be, one in the main bunkroom block and one in the Tui Lodge.

Also, there may be vendors at the Market offering food and drink, including delicacies such as sorbet or fudge.

See the general Faire information regarding cooking facilities at the Faire site.

Feast

As usual, Canterbury Faire will host a Faire feast consisting of a delicious sequence of dishes. You are recommended to book early, as seating numbers are limited and invariably sell out.
