Their BBQ sauces are literally like home made, including relishes, jams, chutneys, etc. Lots of activities for children, great café and croissants for the adults. Nice crowd frequenting this place.

Attention to the owners. Your new building looks amazing but what your contractor failed to…read moremention was that polished concrete is slippery as hell when wet. While your Romaine lettuce was edible, the trip to your new location cost me not only 7 hours in the ER room at Brantford General Hospital today but also the 12.00 in parking I paid for that privilege. Thankfully I did not have a concussion but it was a painful long day of waiting to be seen for help today. Besides having a rug for customers to walk on, I would suggest you get your construction crew back to rough up your floors especially the wee ramp upon exiting. Good luck with your future, but I will not be returning EVER!!!

For me, Sunfest is THE festival that starts off summer and festival season in London. With great…read moremusic, awesome food, and unique vendors, this festival is full of fun for everyone. There were lots of different local food options at this festival. From your typical festival food (fries, funnel cakes, etc), to Indian, Thai, and even Ethiopian. There was plenty of healthier options if that is more your taste. Keep in mind, the food section was rammed during dinnertime. Lots of lines and people trying to get through. It isn't easy and can be frustrating. There are multiple stages scattered throughout the park which offer a wide variety of music styles all weekend. I got to see a bit of Five Alarm Funk and the Samba Squad, both really great acts. People were dancing and having a great time. I really love the vendors at Sunfest. There are a lot from the Toronto area which adds a bit of variety in comparison to other festivals in Victoria Park. There are still tons of local vendors too which is nice because there are a ton of locally made products available. I don't get out to the markets as much as I should so its nice to see their wares displayed in the park. While this festival is super busy, it brings a welcome, positive buzz to the downtown core. Good vibes all around, I highly recommend!

I took my family here, and I am very unhappy with my visit. When we pulled up, the staff was…read morerunning around and were unprepared. Very unprofessional. It was very crowded, and my kids couldn't see the animals they were excited about. The bathroom had a very long line, as well, and was very unsanitary. There were food trays everywhere, and no one was putting them away!! And Jordan's Forest was unsafe and unclean. My kids wanted to play at the splashpad, but I wouldn't let them because it was so dirty. The staff seemed miserable, and they seemed very annoyed whenever I asked questions!! We left early because my kids were bored and they didn't want to be there anymore. Will not be returning anytime soon. There are many things here that they need to change!!

There was only one nice girl there, who shall remain private, but she found my lost son, and no one else helped. The donuts are pretty good, but other than that! This place is terrible! Horrendous business, do not go here! The staff are not accommodating, there is poop and pee and puke and rats - we're in the middle of Hanta, I cannot be getting a dang virus right now. I've got places to be. It's gross. Bad. Bad experience. There is only one cow, and I feel him. Or her. How do you know what gender your cow is? Flip it over. Get under there. It takes one lil peek, you either see a hole or a peg, it's not rocket science. Jeez. The bees got out in the bathroom. My son is allergic, bad play on my part, taking him to a bee farm? Probably. But I was told the bees would be contained. Not my fault. Shoddy craftsmanship. Never coming back. I'll get my donuts elsewhere. 0/10.

Take Ilderton Road west until you can find a place to park.

Maybe I came to Winona Peach Festival with high expectations?! I was hoping for an event that has…read morepeach everything since it is a peach festival?! There are only a few stalls outside the entrance that sells Peach. Nothing I could not get from a local farmer's market! And the other peach thing is probably their $5 Peach Sundaes which I could made at home! There are no admission fee. Maybe I should not be complaining? Worth coming if you are in the area. There are no on site parking. The official free parking is at Puddicombe Farms but you need to get a shuttle which is $5 per person return to get to the Park!!! Though the charge is towards charity. There are also numerous food outlets that are run by local charities, you expect to find so so food but all for a good cause!
