Think of your best summer memories – what was involved? Sunshine, definitely. A chilled drink, almost certainly. Live music and scoffable food from some of London's best traders and restaurants? The ultimate icing on the cake.

For a place where you can get all of the above (good weather not guaranteed) look to Standon Calling, one of the UK's best and brightest boutique festivals just 45 minutes outside London in Hertfordshire – making it an easy journey when you drag your festival-ravaged body home after a weekend of partying.

But partying isn't all you can do; Standon is renowned for a family-friendly atmosphere and heaps of entertainment that ranges from wellbeing workshops to arts performances and its much-loved Sunday-morning Dog Show to the swimming pool.

Then, of course, there's the music. A few of the names to look out for include Paloma Faith, electronic duo Goldfrapp, off-the-wall favourites The Cuban Brothers and more – just check out the full line up and you'll find something to tickle your fancy.

But we know what you're really here for: to get the lowdown on the food. You'll find us dancing while munching burgers – a complex skill we've honed over many years of eating – at Patty & Bun's Patty Party; licking our fingers after attacking Wingmans' chicken wings; or refuelling with a much-needed caffeine hit at the Flying Machine Café.

Want to know what else you can get your greedy chops 'round over the course of the weekend? Read the list below:

  • Born & Raised – pizza served from a Land Rover Defender. Because why wouldn't you?
