Thankfully it's started to warm up, which means it's Street Food season again.


I'm partial to Brockley market on Saturday, Herne Hill on a Sunday, as there's a good mix at both.


Pitt Cue have a new truck & The Joint from Brixton Market have bought their first wagon.



Any others worth searching out for a visit ?

See my thread on The Ropewalk in Bermondsey - there's even a local gin distillery and pop up cocktail bar. Food reneged from burgers to tacos to Iberian ham, waffles, cup cakes and a fantastic cheese stall, plus some pizza and other bread stalls.

Buffalo wings from Orange Buffalo in truman's brewery yard (not sure if that's it's proper name)- blinking excellent. What a shame though that I can't eat them in a stuffy 'property' at a ridiculous price where I'm obliged to order other stuff and tip a waiter. It's horrible sitting at a bench In the sun watching life go by. I think I need to man up.

Most Street food sellers on North Cross road do not have facilities to wash their hands.


Also handling money / Coins and food.


When I worked in the City / Borough All sandwich shops had to have someone separate to

handle money. They were not allowed to handle food and take the money.

titch - this argument has been had many times on here. You can explain about the stringent checks and H&S rules the stallholders have to follow (rules, which if the moaners were talking about something else, would have them complaining about excessive red tape)


this threaad has some lurid scare stories

but fortunately the food and the number of people buying it speaks for itself and we ignore the ignorati


I work at Blackfriars so I try and get up to Kings Blvd near Kings X station for some Rib Man action a couple of times a month. I've seen the mexican van from North X Rd market there a few times as well

It's the ridiculous description calling what you have described above as 'street food', just to make it/yourself/said activity sound less boring and humdrum. I might pop out and have some 'premises food' later, or i may stay in and have 'home kitchen' food.

There's an increasing gaggle of posters on here who make it hard to summon the will to live.


ffs he's just asking if people know any places that make nice food to east outside now it's sunny.


I for one would kill for that round my work where the most exciting culinary event of the past decade is the opening of a new greggs, makes a change from mayonaiise sodden sandwiches from Pret & Eat I guess.

It's sweet that you care so much about what it's called.

We should ditch this daft 'street food' title, which stupidly manages to sum-up exactly what it is in no more than two words - and go with something else.


I suggest 'food sold on non-rigid plates from a mobile catering facility which does not have a licence to sell intoxicating liquor'.



"You fancy grabbing a bite to eat after work tonight"


"Sounds good. But I don't really want a full sit-down restaurant thing. Why don't we just grab some food sold on non-rigid plates from a mobile catering facility which does not have a licence to sell intoxicating liquor?"

I like Brockley Market too Annette, particularly Mike & Ollie. Tried the tacos from Ambriento on North Cross this weekend - messy to eat but really good. Hot dogs from Dog Father Diner are perfect for hangovers on a Saturday morning too.


Recently tried the pizzas from Van Dough, not quite Pizza Pilgrims, but good base & toppings.


Loved the Roti Chai Chaat Shack that's on the Southbank until the end of the month.


Locally based OFM (original fry up material) serve breakfasts, but not managed to catch up with them anywhere yet. They're at Kerb King's Cross.

    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
