London street food: The 30 best traders in the capital
18th July, 2019
Great to get a shout-out in the Evening Standard’s top 30 list.
Some amazing traders that make up the list.
“It’s not just London's fine dining hotspots that make us the envy of the food world – it's time to hit the streets.
The capital’s street food culture has boomed in the last ten years: London's markets have even begun to act as a breeding ground for the next big thing in the bricks-and-mortar restaurant world, with many of the city's recent casual dining success stories starting out as humble street food stalls.
Street food isn't just affordable – it offers the chance to support foodie entrepreneurs, discover new cuisines and maybe find the big names of the future.
To celebrate all this, we’ve picked out 30 of the best traders in the capital, in no particular order.”

LONDON EVENING STANDARD - LONDON FOOD MONTH
7th June, 2017
Lucky to be invited to share Angela Hartnett's kitchen at London Food Month, initially for 2 days, we stayed for the entire 2.5 weeks.
Angela championed up and coming Street Food Traders to share her tent and dish up to the London Food month masses.
An amazing experience to be a part of, serving to the likes of Grace Dent and Tom Parker Bowles, receiving great customer feedback throughout.
The unusual partnership — which epitomises the unrivalled diversity of London’s gastronomic scene — starts tonight with a pop-up version of Murano alongside KraPow LDN, a specialist in Thai street food inspired by the city of Chiang Mai, renowned for its “punchy, complex” flavours.

THE LIFE AND STYLES OF KLF

KRAPOW X EATFIRST
I must say, having never been to Thailand I don't really know though, this was some of the most authentic Thai food I had ever experienced in my life. No coconut in sight, apart from coconut water to drink, and a whole load of flavour. I often see too many curry dishes with coconut being passed off as Thai food but THIS, not a coconut in sight and a whole load of citrus and spice. If this is what Thai food is genuinely like I may have to rethink my statement of "there is more to life than Thailand"
I was also lucky enough to speak to one of the founders of Kra Pow, Richard Oakes. And his enthusiasm and love for Thai food came across so wonderfully that I realised that these dishes really must be genuine! No overly Westernised spin on them, just a real love for Thai food and bringing it to the London masses.
Now Unknown
The guys at London Food Guide got Now Unknown down for a taste...
"I went for their most popular dish Kra Pow. A mix of rice, pork, spices and a big egg on top, it's simple street food at its finest. But for what looks like the most basic of dishes, this plate was a powerhouse of flavour. Smacking of chilli and garlic, it was sweet, hot, sticky, delicious soul food. Exactly the sort that would obliterate a hangover in a matter of minutes."

Krapow! Right in the kisser 🇹🇭 👊🏼 @krapowldn couldn't Thai me down to one dish. So I get a mix of 2. Krapow and Moo Ping. Absolutely 🔝🔥
'Meal Deal' any time @tranfood.
If KraPow LDN did sandwiches...
The sandwich connoisseur/legend the.xandwich challenged us to serve him up a tasty sanger...
Challenge accepted.
