Body&Soul today announced a new partnership with JUST EAT, Ireland’s leading digital marketplace for takeaway food, and the main reason I can’t be arsed cooking anymore!
Known for its decadent brunches, fine-dining in the woods and gastronomic surprises, the partnership will mean Body&Soulers can kick back and have their food hand-delivered to them by the JUST EAT Waiters, who will be located at a dedicated JUST EAT relaxation space in view of the main stage.
New in 2016 is a collaboration between three of Ireland’s most exciting young food brands – 3FE Coffee, Nobó and Sprout & Co.
3FE’s award-winning baristas take coffee ridiculously seriously, and their Dublin cafe is a hub for passionate baristas to showcase the coffees that inspire them most.
Nobó, producers of Ireland’s first dairy and gluten free ice cream made from the natural goodness of coconut milk and avocado, will cool the crowds with homemade frozen goodness, while Sprout & Co Kitchen, the juice and shot bar, will serve up energy boost juices and shots from an up-cycled bathtub. Okeydokey.
Fresh off the pages of the New York Times, and scene of a recent dud date of mine (the food smelled amazing, pity about the shed dweller across the table. He lives in A SHED. A WINDOWLESS SHED OUT THE BACK OF A SHOP), Mulligans of Stoneybatter at Body&Soul the team will dish up delicious roasts, their old favourites and new discoveries with festival goers.
Straight from another local, the Bernard Shaw in Dublin, the Big Blue Bus pizzeria will park up for the weekend in the campsite.When is it free pizza for Poola week, Big Blue Bus people? *fist shake*
Creating insatiable demand for their dishes, and destroying many a gusset of my girlfriends, The Happy Pear duo will make a much anticipated return. The perma-grin twins were winners of the coveted Judges Award at our Festival Food awards in 2015. Were the judges my thirsty-ass friends by any chance?
Fresh food and vegetables have been the trademark of The Norton family for 80 years. Now the family have brought this tradition to a new level by applying it to the appetite for healthy foods among 21st century Dubliners in their store The Punnet Health Store, in Glasthule, near Dalkey, which provides fresh organic coffee, fruit juices, protein shakes, wheatgrass shots and smoothies. They make their Body&Soul debut this year.
The seventh edition of Body&Soul puts a renewed focus on the peripheral, the parties, the finer details and the arts. An immersive summit of music, discovery, spoken word, holistic escapes, debate, gastronomic indulgences, blissful treatments and theatrical delights, Body&Soul arouses the senses and makes the mundane magnificent.
Coming Soon – announcements on Wonderlust, theatre and performance, the newly commissioned Woodlands Stage, visual art installations, the Absolut Art Bar (YAAAAAS), The Sanctuary holistic therapies, the children’s mini-festival in Soul Kids Gardens, late-night revelry at the new Reckless in Love Arena and many more curated corners.
The Body&Soul Festival is on 17 – 19 June 2016 in Ballinlough Castle, Co. Westmeath.
