Street food stars to compete for national title
The finalists for the 2022 Street Food Championships have been announced.
Sixteen sumptuous street food dishes are to compete for the title of the UK’s best at this year’s Street Food Championships, as the competition’s finalists are announced.
Taking place on Tuesday 4 October at the Islington Metal Works in London, each dish will be cooked-up by chefs representing street food vendors, restaurants and pubs based all around the country (full list below).
Finalists competing for the street food gong of the year include Eggslut, Mother Clucker, The Coconut Tree and The Athenian. They will be going up against the likes of The Restaurant Group, Revere Pub Company and Lantana Café, as a mix of independent businesses and nationwide groups prepare their specialities for industry judges next month.
On top of facing-off in a bid to take home the Street Food Dish of the Year award, which includes £1,000 prize money, chefs will also be put to the test in a range of technical challenges on the day.
Dishes featuring at the 2022 final include Lantana Café’s Beef Shin Bhaji Arepas; Mother Clucker’s Cluckin' Chicken Strips; Pappy's Texas Barbeque’s Texan Superdog; and The Athenian’s Chicken Souvlaki.
