Daddy Donkeys
Renowned for its Burritos. The only negative part is the enormous queues. The wait is worth it though. Packed full of filling flavour, Mexican food doesn’t get much better without journeying to Mexico itself.

Pizza Pilgrims
Taking Pizzaback to its roots on the streets. The guys here spent there time learning the trade properly in Naples before bringing back what they learn’t in Soho (as well as the rather fetching scooter van). This is pizza as its mean’t to be.

Churros Garcia
Street food for those of us with a sweet tooth. This is a delightful Spanish dessert that if you haven’t tried you are missing out on. Definitely ones to bring the kids to. You can even convince yourself they’re healthy as they are supposedly lighter than donuts!

Luardos

Anna Mae’s Smokehouse

Yum Bun
We may have left the best to last. Serving steamed rice buns with pork belly, hoi sin sauce, scallions, chili sauce and cucumber. These delights are well worth tracking down. Not to be missed and every bite to be savoured.
