Word on the Street: May

May might just be the best month of the year for street food – here’s why:

Harbour nights VIBES to the power of FIVE

May’s got an extra Friday up its sleeve so there’ll be five chances to get your sunset / street food /  music + fine libations fix at Arnolfini this month. Here’s the line up for Friday 3rd May, and keep eyes on our FB page for the weeks ahead.

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR in may

WHEELS OF CHEESE: If you haven’t heard already, the fromage aficionados at Alp Mac have got themselves a hot new set of wheels. From May onwards they’ll be serving their mountain-inspired mac and cheese from a beautifully-restored Mercedes 206 van – featured below. Pull up to the bumper!

STACKED CHIPS: Harbourside Market fan-favourite Good Food & Co. are ready to launch their hotly-anticipated second street food business, Stacked Chips. Double-cooked chips heaped with mouth-watering toppings: buffalo chicken, three cheese, ‘chip shop gravy’ — we’re going all in.

Check out the first of our street food interviews (coming next week) to get the inside scoop on the highs and lows of being a street food business.

TOP OF POP-UPS 

Here’s a quick round-up of the Buoy street food stalls who are trading marquees for mortar this May.

LOW AND SLOW (RESTAURANT)

Revamped, rebranded and ready to rumble, Low and Slow are opening a restaurant in St. Nick’s famous glass arcade — official opening date will be announced soon.  Expect smoked meats and barbecue treats, served up southern-style. See y’all there.

BUN FICTION @ KONGS (ONGOING)

It’s no myth, Bun Fiction’s vegan sandwiches are the stuff of legends. You can find them at Kongs Bar on King St. taking deliciously dirty to whole(some) new levels.
