The 2024 British Street Food Awards land in Manchester next month

Manchester’s food scene speaks for itself, with some of the best restaurants and street vendors you’ll find anywhere in the country – yes, I said it – so it only seems right that the British Street Food Awards should also be coming to our shores .

The annual celebration of the best street food the UK has to offer, which is also part of the wider European Street Food Awards (ESFA)it’s divided into regions and this year’s Northern Final takes place right here in Manchester city centre.

Set to take place at Cargo islandwhere there will also be live entertainment as well as plenty of food and drink in addition to the competition and ceremony itself, this year’s awards are set to attract massive crowds and very crowd hungry for Manc.

Taking place over a full weekend, we can’t think of many better ways to spend our time.

So how does it work? Well, British Street Food Awards (BSFA) brings together top street food traders to compete for the British Street Food Awards ‘Champion of the North’.

The Northern finalists are set to present their one killer dish to a panel of judges. This year’s judges have yet to be revealed, but previous journals have welcomed Michelin-starred chefs and acclaimed food writers such as Ed Cooke, Richard Corrigan, Gizzi Erskine, Giorgio Locatelli and more.

After this stage, the successful regional finalists then take their dishes to the UK finals in London from 13-15 September as they compete for the ultimate domestic prize: the prestigious British Street.
Food Awards Champion.

From there, the sky is the limit and they can continue to compete in the ESFA, the grand final of which takes place in Germany later this year.

Past winners include popular names such as Wingmans, MEATliquor, BAO and more. The event promises a weekend full of delicious food, vibrant atmospheres and the chance to discover what’s next
big name in street food. We can certainly say we know a thing or two about it around here.

As well as the obvious wealth of food on offer over the weekend, there will also be a performance by Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor on Sunday, as well as live sets by Body Heat DJs.

The competition itself not only showcases the best in street food, but also gives foodies the unique opportunity to vote for their favorite vendor in The People’s Choice Award. Both The People’s Choice and Northern Champion will be announced on the final day of the awards.

The British Street Food Awards North West Regional Final takes place at Freight Island on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 August from 12pm to 6pm. You can book your tickets to the Northern edition of the British Street Food Awards 2024 HERE.

Until then, we highly recommend you enjoy what is just a taste of one of the best street food hubs in our lovely city – although we will warn you, your mouth will be…
