This Autumn blows a wind of change at King’s Cross...
Say hello to ‘eat.st at King’s Cross’, the new outdoor residency for the much-lauded eat.st, Britain’s first street food collective, in partnership with the King’s Cross development.eat.st has been chosen to bring some street-level flavour and sidewalk swag to London’s brand new street in King’s Cross – King’s Boulevard, N1C – a tree-lined pedestrianised street running from King’s Cross Station and St Pancras International, up to Goods Way, the Regent’s Canal and Central Saint Martins’ new home at King’s Cross.
This will be a first for many things:
1st dedicated street food zone in London
1st permanent base for the growing eat.st collective
1st major developer in the city to embrace the new-wave street food movement
Every Thursday and Friday from 10am to 4pm a rotating group of London’s best curbside cooks will form a ‘micro market’ at the top of King’s Boulevard, bringing a changing selection of food including burritos, paella, seared scallops, wood-fired pizza, spiced burgers, mac n cheese, ribs, Banh Mi, milkshakes, sundaes, coffee
and a whole load of other deliciousness.
Speaking about eat.st, Marina O’Loughlin, Metro food critic said:
“These aren’t your average mobile food merchants – the eat.st collective is delivering some of the most exhilarating cooking in the capital right now. And to have them assembled in a brand new London street at the heart of newly vibrant Kings Cross? Everything from BBQ to banh mi? It’s fair to say I couldn’t be more excited.”
Prabha Rathinasabapathy, from King’s Cross, said:
“eat.st is an exciting collective of high quality food traders and we’re delighted to be collaborating with them on this venture. The collective brings together the best of entrepreneurialism and authenticity: qualities we would like to continue to support at King’s Cross. The micro-market has brought our first new street to life by serving fantastic food to people in and around the development – from students and office staff to construction workers and visitors.”
