In London the street food scene is pretty impressive at the moment, there’s a lot of people out there serving up great tasting food at really great prices. Even with the quality food that’s out there, occasionally I still get surprised with just how good some of the food really is. And earlier this week when I was down at ‘eat.st at Kings Cross’ I was blown away by a seemingly simple slice of margherita pizza from Homeslice.
You might not be able to find it on a map yet, but Kings Boulevard – London’s newest street, is quickly gaining a reputation as a place to find great food. Specifically great street food. Since the start of October the guys from Eat.St have been running ‘eat.st at Kings Cross’, a micro street food market on Thursdays and Fridays, with a rotating group of their traders. And by all accounts its turned out to be a great success, with the local office workers flocking down to try something new for their lunch. Unfortunately for me, I work in deepest, darkest, North London and normally there’s absolutely no way I could make it down during my lunch break. But luckily today I had the day off, and I had to get a train from Euston which gave me the perfect excuse to head down and see what was on offer.
This is of course a blog dedicated to street food, but I love food and drink generally, so occasionally I will post something not strictly about street food. Today’s post is one of those.
I don’t know about anyone else but when I think about great coffee my first thought isn’t an industrial estate in East London. But that’s where I found myself this past weekend when I was invited to take part in a Roastery tour and mini barista training session with Union Roasted Coffee. But i’m also on a bit of a coffee kick at the moment (I was a late convert having only really started drinking it in the last year) so I figured a trip out East would be worth it
