Street food festival coming to the city

Street Food Warehouse has announced that the first Exeter Street Food Festival is heading to Northernhay Gardens this summer.

From Friday 14th - Sunday 16th June more than 25 of the best local and national street food traders will be serving up cuisines from across the world in the heart of the city centre.

You can expect three days of great food, refreshing drinks, live entertainment and fun for all the family! All you need to do beforehand is grab your ticket, arrive hungry and be ready to explore the globe one street food dish at a time.

Street Food Warehouse are the team behind some of the finest street food festivals across the Welsh and South West coasts.

From Devon to Swansea and Plymouth to Aberystwyth, they have cemented their reputation by hosting successful events for more than seven years. Now they are bringing their #SummerOfStreetFood tour to Exeter for three days of foodie heaven. 

A spokesperson said: “We’ve wanted to host more festivals in the South West as the people of Devon have proved they have a huge appetite for delicious, high-quality food. For the past few years, our festivals have taken us to Newquay, Plymouth and North Devon and it only feels right Exeter enjoys a slice of the action.

"Vendors apply from across the UK to trade at our events allowing us to share new and exciting cuisines and provide a platform for up-and-coming talents on the food scene. Visitors can tuck into fan favourites or discover something entirely new, all whilst enjoying a refreshing draft craft beer and some live music in the heart of the city. Exeter Street Food Festival will be the perfect place to spend your weekend with friends and family enjoying delicious food and good vibes.

"We hope to get a good turnout in our first year so that we can come back again and again. Don’t forget it’ll also be Father’s Day weekend, so why not treat Dad or Grandad to some delicious food and a pint? Get ready for full bellies and great memories!”

The unique thing about Exeter Street Food Festival is that no two traders offer the same cuisine. This allows chefs to showcase their individuality whilst treating visitors to a wider range of dishes from near and far. You could feast on anything from Indian to Vietnamese, Thai to Moroccan, Mexican to Afghan, and Caribbean to Uzbek, with food to suit every dietary requirement and plenty to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Street Food Warehouse prides itself on a continued commitment to sustainability, which is why every adult ticket purchase includes a reusable cup to help reduce single-use plastic. You can use this cup throughout your visit and take a piece of the festival home with you to help support their eco-friendly mission.
