The Stalls street food market will be taking place in Southwell on Friday afternoon/early evening.

Our team of volunteers has kindly put together a list of other catering options available in the town or nearby, with opening hours and contact details. All information is correct at the time of going to press (August 2024). We strongly advise contacting individual businesses directly to check opening times and to book a table in advance. Southwell Music Festival is not directly connected to any of these food outlets.
