Explore Korea’s rich food culture
Think you know Korean cuisine? In collaboration with Canopy Market, JUNG Festival will be London’s first food festival and invites you to dive deeper into the country’s dynamic food culture, going beyond the staple dishes of London’s Korean food scene.
Canopy Market and The Crossing will host over 30 Korean traders, offering a range of food, iconic desserts, and crafts, from cult Korean fried chicken to bold interpretations of traditional dishes. Don’t miss it over the early May Bank Holiday weekend, from 1 May to 4 May, Friday 12-8pm, and Saturday to Monday 11-6pm.
Inspired by the Korean concept of Jeong (정), JUNG Festival celebrates the unique warmth and connection we only get through coming together and sharing food.
Chickenhaus, Hoho London, Hongdae Pocha, Kiwa and others offer Londoners a new way of experiencing Korean cuisine that reaches further than trend-led dining. This is about showcasing a multi-faceted, evolving food scene in the heart of the capital.
Making it all possible is Korean food content creator Rollin Lee, collaborating with Market Root, the team behind London’s six Korean creator markets. Join them for four days of authentic cuisine, festival-specific dishes, and the scene’s most exciting emerging talent.
Designed to go far beyond trend-led, ‘viral’ dining, the JUNG Korean Food Festival will bring together around 20 food traders alongside 10 independent Korean food and culinary brands. And will give Londoners the chance to experience the breadth and beauty of one of the world’s most exciting cuisines in a way that feels both authentic and accessible.
