Street Feast London

There seems to be loads of ‘street feasts’. Hawker House, Red Market, Tokyo Nights, Dinerama, Street Feast, Kerb, Little Feast it all seems to merge under one genre that ultimately rotates the multitudes of similar types of street food vendors.
Street Feast was the first though and I loved that it is housed on multiple floors so it does peak your interest.
I find that most people use this event as a social gathering to start the night and ultimately leave by 11pm to go to pastures new nearby for late night antics.
My favourite is Breddos Tacos, the amazing Bbq of Smokestak and Yum Bun for their doughnut desserts. Some good cocktails on show too.
It’s definitely worth checking out with a few friends. Great vibes and good music coupled with food and drink is a win win for any Friday which is my preferred day to check out.

I used to come here all the time but find myself coming less and less. It is a great concept with lots of different vendors, bar/​s to have drinks to the early hours, but I feel it’s becoming very similar. I have tried most the vendors over the many visits and their menus hardly ever evolve. So unless you don’t mind the same thing over and over, then this place would be best for a one off trip for that initial buzz. (Visit — 31/​07/​2015 Dinner)

Awesome place to hang out on a Saturday night! It was lively, had cool décor, & soo many food options. I wish they had this where I live, San Diego! I ordered a Bulgogi Burrito from Kimchinary. It was really tasty, but it got a little repetitive once I was about halfway done. I loved the variety of food. Jerk chicken, pork buns, Indian sliders, seafood, dessert, mac n’ cheese, & more. You’ll for sure find something you’ll want here. I ordered a Mojito from 1 of the bars. It was a little too sweet, but the drink was huge. It can get packed. We found a place to sit & there’s a lot of tables for standing.
Heads up! It cost £2 or £3 to enter. All ages are welcome.

Dalston. This one anyway. Its incredible.
Food-​Gasm. (NOM).
I love the place, its vibrant, lively, full of exciting décor and mostly the food and drink is incredible.
Gotta say I had one particularly bad experience with a new bartender to the job, of whom got it all wrong but I generally avoid the main bar and seek out the more specific bars dotted around the place.
However. that didn’t effect the amazing time that was had and frequently had on occasion. You go there with friends, usually. You all share everything and you end up in some sort of food coma quite quickly so I recommend pacing yourself.
Literally the best street food festival known to man/​woman/​yelper alike.

Really? I’ve never reviewed Street Feast.
Well, it is as good as it gets.
My first into to the street food scene in London and still my favourite. Ignore the fact that it is near my house, which makes it so easy to get to, it’s just so tasty. The food is always diverse and amazing, the staff friendly, lots of seating (unless it’s seriously packed, which does happen sometimes, in which case, it’s street food, standing is fine) and the prices reasonable.
Little annoying, as always, that it is pay after a certain time, but it’s a small amount only £3 or so. Can be frustrating, but not a huge deal breaker.
I love when this place is open. I always eat well.

Dalston has anything and everything you want to eat! It’s less touristy than Borough market and is very alternative. It’s def a place worth visiting! I had some Venezuelian street food (beef was better than chicken), a piña colada, and a brown-​wich for dessert. The dessert was a winner! The ice-​cream in the brown-​wich is freshly made in front of you!
TIP: Bring cash with you. Not all stalls accept card.

Went to the market 4 the first time lots of awsome stalls my fave was the pizza stand was a great atmosphere would highly recommend

This is no ordinary street food! Set up with food trucks in a yard, dazzling colorful tree lights, DJ and lots of people, this place is sure to amaze. And it did! Highly recommend it as as awesome night out with drinks and hand held finger food what was so tasty! I tired a pull apart pork bun from yum bun, woodfire pizza made to order, hot chips with really good seasoning, donuts with fresh seasoning, frozen piña colada… To name a few. Each had a soon to make it taste better than you’re ordinary take out! I went on a Friday night it was very crowded but the lines weren’t too long. Highly recommend this place!

Back in Dalston and boy this place has come a long way. Street Feast has really grown into this space like non of the Hawker Houses managed to do.
The food selection is plentiful but consider sharing as the costs quickly mount up. The seating fills up fast and was almost all taken by 6:30pm but if you get there early you forgo the entrée fee.
Burgers, ribs, cakes, ice cream, spit roasted chickens and don’t forget to find the hidden bars at the back of the derelict warehouse where once there were piss covered mattresses.
It’s really lovely to see something grow to be so successful in Dalston year after year and the atmosphere here is akin to a festival.
Most food stands are cash only but the bars all take cards.

The outdoors, indoors, almost.
Imagine if you will, you are lightly sozzled, wondering the streets of Dalston. It’s early still, but you’ve had a good afternoon with your friends and you are all merry. Someone suggests an ironic cheeky Nandos, but as you make your way up the road you smell something, something amazing. Something better than anything Nandos could offer you. Slightly down Dalston lane you stumble into a heaven for your cravings. The entry fee paid, you are called from stall to stall, each smelling more wonderful than the last. you join one queue after another and gorge yourself silly on street food from around the world. The beers and ciders flow ever onwards and in the corner, surrounded by a huge crowd of people, the cocktails chug along after.
Strange people mingle with you, you make new friends and enemies if you are lucky enough to fight your way to a table. A woman carrying a balloon as large as herself doesn’t surprise you.
Go in a group. Take cash, though they have started to accept cards, and be prepared to queue. It can be magical if done right.

Really enjoyed an evening here. Great choice of food stalls (steamed buns are amazing) and very easy to lose track of time in the gin bar! Crowd was much more mixed than the typical hipster only east London vibe so had a really good atmosphere. Get there before 7 to get in free and the overpriced food and drinks might not seem as bad!

I love street food. Even if technically a lot of places i go to say street food but are in fact in a delightfully decorated and warmed restaurant interior, i still love the idea and the quick food that it’s all about.
The street feast in Dalston didn’t disappoint for me. I went on a Saturday night so it was of course busy and we had to wait for a short 5 – 10 minutes before actually going in. One in it was of course somewhat difficult to move around because it’s so busy but it was Saturday night, it’s London and it’s delicious. I was impressed with the variety of stalls and was keen to immediately move past the biggest queues for the first big hitters like Mother Clucker and Smokestak. Rola Wala and Yum Bun were absolute highlights. Amazing traditional taste, in fun, manageable street food size were the perfect item to get and be able to eat while walking or stop and have a beer and finish a bun. I was perhaps naively disappointed though that there weren’t more stalls as i had been on the Street Feast website before arriving and there are a number of more stalls listed that weren’t there that evening so i imagine they rotate who is where on what night.
Bob’s Lobster was also a highlight as i love seafood, they had unfortunately ran out of lobster so i opted for a crab roll. Although very tasty, this to me at £10 for a small crab roll isn’t really what street food is about to me. The whole evening isn’t cheap putting drinking aside but the variety of foods, atmosphere and fun all add up to be a nice experience and well worth a night out. Perhaps on a nice midweek night to beat some of the queues!

An evening for those solvent and who love gastropub style streetfood Shoreditch style. No formap free
all… One corn wrap stand… But filled with beans and onions and garlic.
Let’s start with. the queue… It was long. 3 quid after 7 I waited half an hour… And happily.
Its actually surprisingly well filled… Meaning even though it had a massive queue it wasn’t heaving inside. The queues for the bars and foodstuffs were even all around.
The fire pits, seating, décor as all pictured was certainly hipster. Everything was marked up in cost.
First stop… Cocktails at rum shack… This was not. worth a stop at all. Maybe the other cocktails were good. But in all seriousness perhaps the worst pina cold I’ve had. It was almost definitely from one of those. mixes and tasted like a sweet coconut slushy
Next stop sourdough pizza born and raised. So good.
photo, short queue, made fresh there I think 8 quid… Or 5…
Nezt stop wine. Vin bar… Reasonobly priced at 4.50 a glass. Nice selection short queue, nice inside seating area.
Off to get some Halloumi fries from Ali baba“s… They were out of stock of the regular fries. But these were heavenly. Tasted like normal dense fries but with a Halloumi after taste… With pomegranate and other natural toppings.
Then tequila… from the old tequila bar now sol bar The tequila chili shot is ingenious.
Then buns from.yumbun. So good. Think pork dim sun buns but shape of a tortilla and made into a sandwich. Very sweet. Short line. 2 for 7quid
Then the sliders. from le bun… My photos show the sliders we had… The others were out of stocK. They were super tasty. Pulled pork style beef and duck. Sweet, tasty and a perfect conclusion.
My friend still hungry went to smokestack. Was a longer queue… But not out of stock unlike the below. The burger pork burger. Is pictured, sweet and heavy.
Out of stock early
Slider bar
The Korean burrito place
The taco place only had fish
Ali babas ran out of fries.
Summary…
There are queues… Be content with this if. you go
The beginning of the summer 2015 they haven’t got stock correct.
The power went out… And it isn’t all under cover from rain
Its hipster heaven. But clapham minted hipster
If you want to enjoy it. Don’t eat before hand and take lots of cash.
Its pricey… But normal for. what it is.

My boyfriend and I came to street feast the other week. We’d heard about it here on Unilocal and it sounded a treat. Though we missed the 7pm cut off, we were happy to pay and the queue, though long, moved very quickly. Once in it is brooding, dark, smoky and bustling. A dive bar with catering. Though we were sad to find some of the key stalls that were advertised weren’t actually there that night, we found solace in the delicious food on display. I tried three food places and two bars and found them exceptional. Though it’s strictly cash at the food places, you can get cash back at the bar. Make sure you go before it closes!

Be sure to arrive early ! First, it will allow you to come in for free (before 7pm) and you could use the 4£ to buy food, trust me. Second, it’s more fun to explore the three levels without the crowd !
But then, the real challenge arrives: which street food will you test? Burgers, burritos, steamed buns, noodles, ice cream? It’s so difficult to choose just one: obviously you’ll have to try more !
I had the «española» at the Duck ‘n Roll: so good ! I also wanted to try Bleecker Street, but I have to admit, the burgers (sliders) were so tiny, it didn’t seem right.
A place to visit with a lot of friends (Foodies or not) to be able to try it all !!

This is one of those places I’ve heard about for ages and am now kicking myself for not checking out yeeears ago! If you haven’t been yet then let me save you from falling into the same trap: *this* is how to spend a balmy summer’s eve with your mates, and it’s here til the end of Sept.
If you can get there before 7pm as we did then so much the better, when there’s no queue outside and it’s not too busy. It’s £3 entry after 7 and soon fills up — the yard is pretty big though, with lorry containers for ‘walls’, plenty of seating and sensibly about two-​thirds covered over with a roof (this is England after all).
So many food stalls to choose from, all with nice compact menus that saved me from too much of my usual dithering. My highlight was Yum Bun which gave me exactly that with its pork belly deliciousness, and these spicy masala chips that my mate got from an indian food stall. Boozy ice lollies on the way out were a naughty but nice treat too! Plenty of burger/​taco/​bbq/​other traders about, including big names like BOB’s Lobster and Pizza Pilgrims, and others I’d never heard of but had fun mooching around. Worth mentioning there’s plenty of veggie choice but I was a little surprised that my vegan mate struggled to find much on offer for him.
The other big draw is no less than FOUR bars, two of which are dedicated to my two fave spirits, whisky and gin. Double win! At 7pm it was far too light (and I was too hungry) for the candlelit whisky den, but it looked like a great place to snuggle up with someone with jazz and scotch once the sun went down. My mates and I headed to the gin bar round the back for some cocktails — which were great though I had to coerce the barman into talking about what gin he used, which he hadn’t even seemed to pay attention to himself… maybe I was wrong to expect that the barmen should all be oozing enthusiasm and knowledge for gin! We also enjoyed some Meantime beers from the main bar later on.
It defo works out pricier than having a meal somewhere, but it’s a great place to try a variety of yummy new things all together while enjoying the east London buzz and its people-​watching opportunities. Make sure you give it a go — bring your mates, bring cash, and pee before you get there ;)

Absolutely an awesome way to spend an evening! Lots of food stalls to choose from, great variety of alcoholic beverages, and tables to snag to eat, drink and be merry.
£3 for entry is worth it. We had a group of six people and tried a variety of different food. The trio of sliders from Slider Bar were incredible. Tasted just like the burgers from home in the US. Having lived in New England for four years, I was hesitant on the lobster roll from B.O.B.s Lobsters. The employee there was able to list exactly what was in the roll. Quite pricey (compared to other food options but not for a real lobster roll) but I enjoyed it. Well done!
While the small fires around the area reminded me we were at a bare bones site, I sort of liked the ambiance it added.. It was also great to have a tv there during World Cup. I’d highly recommend anybody looking for something different than their typical local for an evening to venture East and enjoy!

Fun and yummy food!
I was visiting London, and my cousin mentioned this place, I was very excited to do more local stuff while in London.
Open only during the summer, its a closed area with lots of food trucks, stands, and bars. If you come before 7pm its free, otherwise charge you £3 to enter.
Lots of great food options while we were here from pizza, several bbq options, modern Indian, gourmet burgers, hot dogs, cupcakes and sweet treats, lots of bars selling great drinks to quench your thirst! Try the mojitos, at £10 a pop pricey but tasty!
For dinner we had BBO pork ribs from Hot box, it was nice came with a slaw and help your self pickled condiments. The ribs were very tasty, I wanted the sauce to have a little more kick but the meat was tender so thats all that matters. We picked up some cupcakes for some sweets at Kooky Bakes, large cupcakes! Icing was very yummy!
At about 8ish the place was packed good luck trying to find seating. Its a pretty happening place, lots of locals, food, and drinks what else can you ask for.

Food, friends, fun, getting in before the masses and having our pick of tasty delights = fabulous!
Definitely aimed at the East End hipster crowd, we still had a great time. I’m so glad our friends introduced us to this! Having seen photos and heard descriptions of the 2013 incarnation, the 2014 version is definitely amazing. Semi-​permanent installations, most any kind of food you could think of, a changing menu from week to week, and plenty of covered seating and awnings to hide under if it rains or you want to escape the hot sun for a bit.
Get there early to a) get in free and b) have the best choice of eats!

Street food is something (wonderful) I discovered when moving to London, and the amazing thing about Street Feast, is that it celebrates just that!
Just off Dalston Junction, Street Feast is open the week-​ends till the end of Summer, and is free to get in between 5−7pm. (£3 after 7pm)
Street Feast has a bit of a «hipstery», grungy feel to it, but with the usual British querkyness.
Niched in an old warehouse, there are many varied stands of people cooking wonderful goodness right in front of your eyes, including the following:
— A secret gin garden at the back
— Mac and cheese with lobster
— Ice cream made out of orange blossom and roses
— Frozen Margharitas (mix the colours)
— AMAZING cocktails (on the expensive side £10 each, but om nom nom)
— Mini sliders with jalapenos and goodness
Portions vary from stall to stall, but are usually small enough for you to be able to try different things without dying of an explosion. Prices overall are in the average, but in any case completely worth it.
Will definitely be going back. Soon.
