More comfort foods include burgers with fried eggs, burritos, falafel, and other delicacies from all over the world. Every vendor is very kind and willing to take the time to tell you the story behind the food. Conveniently located on Rupert street, which is a stone's throw from the Berwick Street market (where you can pick up produce, organic milk, etc), it's a great one-stop trip during your lunch break or midday adventure. Prices are incredibly reasonable for every dish, portions are huge, and they have tables and benches set up to festively eat right there on the street. These folks work really hard, they set up and break down their tents and cooking stalls every day they're in operation, and never leave a mess in the street. A must-try if you're central in Soho.

The space is outdoors and is not covered, so bring an umbrella and/or coat as needed, and I didn't see a lot of place to sit and eat there, so it's mainly takeaway. Bathrooms: Not that I saw.

Strutton Ground Market is a small street market held on weekdays near the Victoria section of…read moreLondon. The market is named for the narrow cobblestone street that it is located on. It is one of the most centrally located street markets in London. The market mainly caters for local residents and the office population in the immediate Victoria Street area, selling food, groceries, books and clothing, but is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. My wife and I visited the Strutton Ground Market while we were on a trip to London in April 2019. We had just visited Westminster Abbey down the street, and my wife told me about a great street market that we could stop at for lunch. She had studied abroad in London and knew her way around the city pretty well. There were so many delicious-sounding food vendors that we had trouble picking. I decided to order from a Middle Eastern food vender called Falafel Zaki Zaki. I ordered "The Whole Shebang Wrap" which was stuffed with falafel, eggplant (aubergine), salad, hot peppers, pickled vegetables and white sauce. Just as I was about to take a picture of the delicious wrap, the vendor posed for the shot and had me cracking up. That wrap was so good!! My wife found a cool Indian street food vendor and ordered some Samosas and a side of Chicken with Rice. We ended up sharing all of our food and were very happy with our choices. We'll definitely stop again on our next trip to London.

Absolute cracker of a place. Recommended to me by a mate from work…read more I absolutely love Mexican, and am sick and tired of the weak chain restaurants that we gave in Essex with their standard bland rubbish. GO VISIT THIS PLACE! A small food van parked on the side of the road selling top class, home-cooked mexican food. Slow cooked lamb, pulled pork, chorizo chilli, burrito, quesadilla the list goes on. How he does it in such a small place to then add on nightly specials, deserts etc, etc. What a find! And onto he who owns it! A passionate Mexican man who could not be more friendly and engaging. Engrossed in his skill as a chef, brings you into his world with tasters of the culinary tit-bits created that day. Please try, I urge you. Come from far afield - you will not be disappointed. BUT come early - the place is small. It's not unheard of him selling out within 90 mins of opening!

I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

We discovered Acklam Village Market on a Saturday on our visit to London when we were spending the…read moreday in Notting Hill and Portobello Market. Acklam Village Market is a street food market with some of the best street food in one place that I have ever seen. Not only do they have great food, there is a bar with a decent amount of seating. Like I said, we were there on a Saturday so the place was packed. I would definitely recommend arriving early and sharing with friends from a couple of the vendors. You are going to want to try everything and are going to have a very difficult time deciding what you want. We ultimately decided to split shawarma but it was so big we were too full to get anything else unfortunately. This market is totally legit and you will definitely want to visit it on your trip to London.

The street food market at Acklam Village (fancy name for a bit of concrete wasteland under the…read moreWestway) has been back for a few weeks now. The fenced-off section is open at weekends only, but there are always some stalls to be found on Fridays too alongside the orange van selling proper Italian coffee from his VW camper. The selection ranges from more predictable Thai and Indian buffets to wraps from Venezuela or Jamaica. My favourites are the rice dishes from Afghanistan or Iran - delicious home cooking from countries I will probably never visit - and amongst the few not relying on deep frying. Apparently the music has returned to Bay 58!

How badly have I been wanting to try Spit and Roast? VERY!…read more I love a good chicken sandwich. In fact, I love a crappy chicken sandwich (there are reasons why a Zinger Tower Burger at KFC rocks at midnight after you've been drinking all night). So I was really hoping that Spit and Roast could bring all my chicken sandwich expectations into delicious, mouth exploding goodness. Man, did they live up to my expectations. They were serving a chicken sandwich with Korean hot sauce and a bit of Asian coleslaw (with peanuts). The sandwich looked great. It tasted even better. The hot sauce was hot (but not too hot) and the coleslaw with the peanuts came through like a champ. The chicken was cooked incredibly well with a delicious crispy batter and a soft, juicy inside. This was no dry sandwich, my friend. The only downfall was it was pretty tall and difficult to eat without getting sauce all over myself, but I didn't care, I just dug right in. It is so easy to screw up chicken, but these fellas, they do it right. And I hope that I'll be able to fill my face with their delicious sandwiches again. And again. (And possibly again for good measure.) Oh, they're a Kerb trader so look out for them at King's Cross. Or UCL when Kerb is around there. Or the Gherkin if Kerb manages to convince the City of London that Kerb traders aren't a blight upon their commercial ways.

I didn't know what spit and roast was before I read Grant's description yesterday...now I…read moreknow...and I approve. Grant has already given a pretty good description, so I don't have much to add. - Chicken = succulent and moist on the inside while crispy on the outside - Hot sauce = didn't taste Korean to me, but it tasted lovely. I got it all over my fingers, then had to lick it all off. Nom. - Coleslaw = not too mayonnaise-y, but crunchy, sesame-y and gorgeous *Thanks Grant!! **This sandwich is even worth sitting outside in the rain to eat it while it's hot. ***This place needs Linzi M to come back to London. I have a feeling she'd looove it.

Highlights include lobster rolls (avoid the seared tuna -- not for me), amazing crispy duck fat triple cooked chips!!! Get them! The dumplings were lukewarm / cold and covered in spicy sauce. Skip, better options available. Pho lovely and warm but prefer vermicelli noodles to the thicker ones in them. The duck wrap was nice (not a fan of tomato in it). The confit duck better pick. The smash burger took absolutely ages! Man very sweet & brought it over to us. The steak & frites with pepper sauce was great. But dipped the duck fat chips in that sauce & was in food heaven.

This is a review from our visit on 26 October 2013…read more There was a queue at this small stall at lunch time. Small, thin fish was piled up in an open cardboard box - not sanitary at all and I hope they refrigerate them during summer - and as the demand was high, the cooking standard faltered. He just kept adding cold olive oil whilst cooking, so the fish got soggy and very greasy. Fish turned out to be a cheap dab and wasn't properly seasoned, and the bun was hard & cold. So we ended up with a very greasy, bland fish stuck in an very ordinary cold bun; luckily we only ordered one. There were several bottles of condiments, but if they had cooked the fish properly, no one should be using them except lemon juice. Who needs ketchup on nice fish??? To match their reputation, they really need to up their game and take time to cook the well-seasoned fish properly. There are lots of decent fish & chip shops nearby, and you get much better deal there.

The sign for this fish stall reads" Tush and Pat's Famous Fishermens Rolls"..."Try'em, they're…read moregood" and guess what??? These rolls are GOOD!. Better than good, scrumptious, delectable, super hit the spot yummy these rolls are. The stall is a canoe, cut in half, with the owner frying up filets of plaice in olive oil. After they are cooked to tender perfection, he puts a long skinny filet and a larger flatter one on the bun of your choice, dark(whole wheat or whole grain?) or white. The plaice, freshly fished from Hastings fishermen, melts in your mouth. I wasn't too fond of the hard bun, but after gobbling up the roll, decided a much more tender bun would just fight with the creamy softness of the plaice. Pat and Tush supply all sorts of sauces at a table at one end of their stand should you desire ketchup etc with your roll. I found the sweet fresh taste of the fish just right and it required only the slightest bit of ketchup. Hasting fresh seafood at its finest for only 2.5 lbs. There is always a line by this stand and it's easy to understand why. The owners told me they were in business for 13 years. I hope this Hastings institution keeps going. My tip...get a couple of sandwiches, take the East Lift close by and go up and have a picnic on the hill overlooking the sea!

Thank GOODNESS I found something in London to fill the Allen St. Poutine-shaped void in my heart…read morethis summer. The Poutinerie is a pop-up at the Brick Lane Market every Sunday. While the market is worth a trip in and of itself (if seemingly endless streets of awesome vintage finds and other food stalls are your thing), The Poutinerie sealed the deal for me. If you've followed along with my reviews this shouldn't surprise you, but I consider myself something of a poutine connoisseur. I wasn't super optimistic about the quality of the poutine in London, but I had no reason to be skeptical, as The Poutinerie delivered. Maybe it's just because everything is better served out of a food stall, but the dish was great. I got the regular, and the curds-to-gravy ratio was good, and the fries were fresh. No complaints here! Service was quick and friendly as well. It was a little more expensive than I was expecting, but well worth it considering just how badly I was craving poutine at the time.

I learned something after eating this great poutine. As the cheese is squeaking beneath my teeth…read moreand the crisp chips are holding well under the brown gravy pressure, I realized I don't enjoy poutine that much. I merely eat it when I'm away from my poutine addicted girlfriend; hoping to make her jealous. The Poutinerie had a great, eye-catching signage. There was a chalkboard explaining what poutine is and what they offered. If you want to compare poutine, do what I did and order the original. Otherwise, you can order the The Coq au Vin or the Philly Cheese Steak. I'll upload some pictures so you can see what this includes. I overheard as I walking past once done with the markets that this was their first day. I hope it went well for them and I hope they return. I think they have a really good product.
