Street food in Cambridge

Pitches for street food in Cambridge

The first time I was introduced to street food was on my first visit to Singapore in 1994. I fell in love with this casual way of dining instantly. On our food walking tours, we include street food too. Mainly on the market, as the other markets are too far out to add them to our food walking tours. Street food can be found at one of the breweries and a quirky bottle shop too. Where do the street food traders pitch?

foodPark – various locations


The brainchild of Heidi White, co-founder of Eat Cambridge started this street food venture in 2014. She has passed on the rains to Rebecca Chong to spend more time with her family. foodPark is a collective of street food traders, which pops up at various locations through Cambridge on weekday lunchtimes. Check out their website to find out where they pitch.

The local market in the city centre


In the city centre on the Cambridge market, you will find 7 days per week an excellent selection of street food traders. The management team of the city council only allows them a pitch if the quality of the food is good. So you can rest assured that you will get excellent food. Our favourites are the Falafel, Arepas, Malaysian food and the Paella.

Thirsty Chesterton Road


The bottle shop Thirsty on Chesterton Road has 7 evenings per week street food traders pitching right in front of their shop. You don’t have to be drinking here to buy street food, but I would highly recommend it!

Enjoy!
