Food St market Sunday 28 July

Guest blog by Richard Johnson

Savour the flavours at Old Market Place

We have a great selection of new food traders in Old Market Place this month. There’s the Mauritian crab samosas of Kickin Creole, the all-vegan thali from Mumbai Street Eats, the fragrant flavourbombs of Disha’s Chai, the super fresh menu of Pretty Boy Tacos, or the life-changing chicken tenders from the Gluten Free People.

Street Food Royalty Visits

On Sunday we’re also being visited by street food royalty –  Papelon – who won first place at the southeast heats of the 2024 British Street Food Awards hosted by Blue Collar last month. That means killer cachapas. They won over Michelin-starred chef Adam Smith AND the general public. Come see what all the fuss is about.

But where next? If you’ve got any room. The Philly cheesesteaks from the Griddle Guys, the Brazilian barbecue of Com Amor or a selection of fresh olives from The Olive Bar? Maybe some Korean Fried Chicken from Nimtoh, some Turkish flatbreads from Sultan Gozleme or the world’s best lobster rolls from E8 Fish? You decide!

Calling All Young Creatives!

Come join our first ever Make Your Own Wallpaper event, hosted by the William Morris Society at the Food St market on July 28. Inspired by two of Morris’ most beautiful designs – “Artichoke” and “Trellis” – we want to invite children to drop in and create some radical new looks.

It’s an exciting time for design in West London. Morris & Co is part of the Sanderson Design Group, which recently moved back to Chiswick. The company’s archive, design studio, and 164 years of history relocated to Voysey House earlier this year in readiness for the next chapter of design.

William Morris himself – activist and the father of the Arts and Crafts movement – lived at Kelmscott House in Hammersmith until his death. But before that he rented Horrington House on Chiswick High Road. Right beside the Roebuck pub. And a three minute walk to Food St market. Now you know why we’re so excited….

Richard Johnson is the organiser of the FoodSt market in Chiswick High Road on the fourth Sunday of every month.
