When the @scottishstreetfoodawards at @thepittmark

When the @scottishstreetfoodawards at @thepittmarket had to be postponed due to the lockdown in Edinburgh last weekend, we needed to find a worthy champion to represent Scotland at the grand final of the @britishstreetfoodawards supported by @hellmannsuk. Hosted by @bluecollarfood. We’ve found one. Winner of one British Street Food Award already (his ox hearts are the stuff of legend) @theperuvianscotland is hoping to go one better in 2020
and come home as grand champion.

The great Auguste Escoffier ranked Peruvian as the third greatest cuisine in the world — behind French and Chinese. The country is one of the world’s top culinary destinations. So why are we only just discovering it in Britain? We’ve had a handful of great Peruvian restaurants, like Lima and Ceviche, but not on the street - until Carlo Carozzi.

“As a simple Peruvian guy living in Scotland for nearly 20 years, I missed the flavours of home” says Carlo. “And although five of the world’s top restaurants are in Lima, my home town, great food isn’t just about high-end restaurants – street food in the UK is massive and we wanted Peruvian food to make its mark on the street food scene in Scotland.” Can he do it?

Throughout this year of ups and downs, on and offs

Throughout this year of ups and downs, on and offs, one thing has remained constant. And that’s just how bloody brilliant all the people who work in the hospitality sector are.

🙌 Massive respect to everyone out there who has kept on going, pivoted their business and continued to serve up incredible street food week in week out. Bit like us. At @food_mutiny we had to postpone the launch of the @usastreetfoodawards until 2021. And despite holding national heats in Poland, Russia, Italy, Iceland and Wales (thanks to @street_food_polska @kaliningradstreetfood @reykjavikstreetfood @eatinero_official and @welshstreetfoodaward) we won’t be able to gather together for the big @europeanstreetfoodawards final until next year.

It always feels momentous getting to this point of the @britishstreetfoodawards after seeing the hard work put in by the competitors, but - in 2020 - it feels more significant than ever. 

🎉 So, it’s probably the understatement of the year to say that we’re delighted to announce the final of the British Street Food Awards 2020 supported by @hellmannsuk. 

🗓 This year we’re being hosted by the awesome crew down at @bluecollarfood in #Reading, who kindly hosted our South Heat last month. It’ll be all treats and no tricks this Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November (fancy dress optional!).  

👀 We’ll be announcing the finalists later this week. AND OUR AMAZING JUDGES. There may be a wild card or two in there, so keep an eye out on our page for the latest news. 

🎟 In the meantime, tickets are now available for the 2020 final. We’ll have an at-table service, tunes, and the BEST street food in Britain. Tickets are limited so that we can stick to Covid safety rules, so get your two hour slot booked now. Head to the 🔗 link in our bio.

NEVER STOP!!
..
2 years ago, 3 friends travelled across Europe and set up for 48hrs in Berlin. The went as “The people’s choice Champions” of British street food and came back as EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!! 🏆
..
13 countries, 100’s of competitors, 1000’s of entrants and the worlds toughest street food competition; these 3 lads NEVER GAVE UP!!
..
That’s one ethos and inherent characteristic of every member of the JAH JYOT family...we will push every boundary to keep going 🙏🏾
..
It goes without saying, that on this anniversary, we are very determined to reach the other side of these new restrictions and any possible forced Lockdown imposed by @borisjohnsonuk but the hospitality industry needs YOU right now! Small businesses like ours are on the edge and need any ounce of support. This doesn’t have to always buy food but that also helps; but sharing our posts, telling friends and family, understanding that we work 18-20 hours a day and sometimes get things a little mixed up. The small operators are doing everything possible to survive, without major corporate funding and bank support!
..
In a nutshell...PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON A DREAM AS THEY DO COME TRUE!!! And to all the competition at this weekends @britishstreetfoodawards Northern heats in Manchester (supported by @hellmannsuk and hosted by @grubmcr ), we wish you all the luck of Yorkshire...go do us proud 🔥🙏🏾
..
To the other two rocks in this picture (@vennjnr86 @paulwilliamjacobs ) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BOYS 😘🍻🏆

Lights? Check. This idyllic site in a pretty corner of Cardiff is all set for our socially-distanced event - the 2020 @welshstreetfoodawards supported by @hellmannsuk. Hosted by @streetfoodcircusuk and @food_mutiny. Tables of no more than six, with the @yoello_pay app meaning you don’t even need to queue. All you have to do is choose from the best street food in Wales, and decide which trader to vote for! With @samandshaunaofficial on site to help you decide, what could be better? #wales #cardiff #weekend #britsfa #streetfood #pontcanna #pontcannalife

Delighted to renew our partnership with @streetfoodcircusuk in #Cardiff this weekend. For the @welshstreetfoodaward supported by @hellmannsuk and judged by @samandshaunaofficial from @hangfirebbq. Matt and the crew are the real deal. Read this from @get_repost

It’s been a tough year for everyone including us we went from producing a series of SFC event and food arenas for festivals to zero.

We’ve built this concept and business from zero and this is our world, so like many others when the rug was pulled we we’re unsure what to do adapt or die?

We are not traders, but we do provide the platform for many traders to start, operate and trade each year we see new people join our nomadic tribe deciding to go on the crazy journey of a Street Food trader..

Next weekend we’re putting on the only SFC event of the year and hosting the Welsh Street Food Awards in a new location, Talbot Gardens off Cathedral Road. A table booking of x4 costs £10 this cost goes to A) securing the booking so people turn up B) The massive amount of extra costs to be able to put on a one off event during the current climate.

All food and drink costs will remain at 2019 prices. If you love what we do and have been to past SFC event and enjoyed, please support us and come eat, drink and vote for the trader you think should take the crown 👑 of Welsh food trader of the year!

Tickets Via our FB Page or

BIG LOVE SFC

What a year it’s been. So it’s nice to be able

What a year it’s been. So it’s nice to be able to bring you some GOOD news for a change. As we look ahead to launching the @usastreetfoodawards next year, we’re excited to announce that our official partner and payment solution providers for the @britishstreetfoodawards supported by @hellmannsuk are…..SumUp. Haven’t heard of them? @sumup provide affordable and easy-to-use payment solutions and business tools for the everyday business owner. They’re all about payments minus the funny business…no binding contracts, no confusing tech, just simple solutions.

We all know the last few months have been tricky, and food trucks have been hit particularly hard. Our partners at @foodfleet tell us all the stories. But the burger flippers, fish fryers and takeout tycoons are the ones that got especially creative during this difficult time. SumUp have helped street food vendors across the nation to keep ticking along with remote payment options, contactless payments and the ability to sell their food online. Nice. This could be the start of something beautiful…

“Customers love the fact that they can pay by card, even on their doorstep for deliveries. It’s so quick and easy to use.” – Joe, Otley Burger Company #foodtrucks #usa #food #contactlesspayment #britsfa #eurosfa

It’s been tough, running the biggest street food

It’s been tough, running the biggest street food competition in the world in the midst of a pandemic. We had to postpone our plans for the first ever @usastreetfoodawards - with our partners at @foodfleet - until 2021, but otherwise @food_mutiny have managed to deliver the goods with registration in advance for tickets (to allow for track and trace), hand sanitiser and floor markings on site, and traders all PPEd up to the nines. The move towards contactless payment has been a lifesaver. Literally. So we're very, very happy to welcome @sumup on board as a sponsor of the 2020 @britishstreetfoodawards supported by @hellmannsuk. It’s a partnership that we’re keen to grow. And working with at-table ordering systems has minimised the amount of movement. We used apps at the Central heats with @nottsstreetfood and we’re doing it again with @streetfoodcircusuk in Cardiff for the 2020 @welshstreetfoodaward supported by Hellmann's. Say hello to Yoello.

For the Awards, Welsh fintech startup Yoello are creating a tailored QR code that guests can scan to link through to the Yoello web-app, where they will be able to browse the menus of the finalists and order food and drink directly to their tables. No app downloads needed. Sina Yamani, CEO of @yoello_pay says, “The app works perfectly to allow for social distancing in these busy environments, with people no longer having to queue for their chosen vendor, whilst being able to still enjoy the buzzing atmosphere and delicious variety that street food venues encompass. The only problem is deciding which food you’re going to eat!"
