Lots of unhealthy faire food, but executed well and done fresh.
At the local Renaissance faire, taking in the sights in a bit of heat. Looking at all the food vendors, decided to give these guys a try.
The stuff I saw coming out of this tent was crazy! The portions were large, prices were somewhat reasonable, and they had a lot of the comfort foods you would expect to see at this type of venue. So we go with the staples, I get a hand pie and a scotch egg. Girlfriend gets one of each of their tacos. We wait a few minutes, get our name yelled out to the crowd, sit down in the shade and dig in.
The food itself is basic but executed well. Everything is cooked and prepped in advance, with the exception of their fried goods. They do all the fried goods to order, with a few tryers at the ready to get the orders rolling.
This did lead to some wait times, since their menu featured quite a few items that needed to be fried. also this caused the items to be a little greasier than normal, since the temp of the oil would drop due to all the things being fried.
The scotch egg, a little darker than I expected. looks like those friers were getting a workout and the oil was a little dirty. The hand pie was pretty tasty, had a good pulled pork and cheese filling. needed to drain a little, came out very hot and grease dripping off of it into the paper.
The taco tray was 3 tacos of all their different meats. filled to the gills with every topping they had and heavy. I wouldn't be able to tell you how a single person could even feasibly eat 3 tacos from this place, they were that filled.
And I saw the garbage plate they offered...That's a 4 person operation.
This place is really good comfort food done right for a faire. I would not go to the faire just for their food, but they would be an option if I decided to go. Worth a shot if you see them around read more
