Canterbury has a superb food festival every November - they call it the "euro fair".
The local park fills with stalls of food and drink from all over the world and you can go along and try bits of everything. Its superb - I recommend it!
Harvest festival is the only one I can think of!

In London there are many food festivals, but the most famous that springs to mind is Brick Lane, which specialises in Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine.

Come to my house my partner has a food fest every morning, fried egg, sausage, grilled bacon, beans, fried bread, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms cooked in butter. For afters he has toast with home made bramble jelly smeared all over it! For thirds he has coffee and a cigarette. Healthy innit.
This website has information about lots of different events... http://www.thefoody.com/events.html...
Also, this weekend (6th/7th Oct) is the East Midlands Food and Drink Festival in Melton Mowbray...should be good!
I have been to the BBC Good Food Show a couple of times too and that is good but gets VERY crowded!
There are quite a few, actually. The next one should be early in November in Covent Garden (the autumn food fair). Then in December we have 3 days of festive food festival. You need to sign up for a few newsletters to keep up-to-date. If you buy Olive (the magazine) you should be able to get info well in advance. Another good source of info is your local Slow Food group, which here in the UK, organizes locally focused events (i.e. they don't just talk about Italian food).
