The British Street Food Awards 2024 are set to return to Hampshire this year with Gunwharf Quays hosting the Southern heats of the competition.
It will be taking place between 12pm and 8pm on Saturday, June 8 and between 12pm and 5pm on Sunday, June 9.
The region’s best street food vendors will converge on The Plaza at Gunwharf Quays where they will sell their food to guests over the weekend.
They will be battling to win the public vote ahead of the winner being announced at the end of the weekend.
What vendors will be competing in The British Street Food Awards?
The organisers said: "New vendors for this year include Sourdoughlicious, creators of Neapolitan pizza, along with Dirty Boy Burgers, and Flats who are known for their Candian-inspired vegan doughnuts.
"Further finalists of the Southern heat include Portsmouth’s own Justasia, specialists in Halal Filipino cuisine."
The winner will then head to the UK finals, with the aim of representing the UK at the grand finale of the European Street Food Awards in Germany.
Next year, the winners will form a European team to take on the winners of the USA Street Food Awards.
Yvonne Clay, Centre Director at Gunwharf Quays, said “We are delighted to once again be hosting the British Street Food Awards at Gunwharf Quays.
"This event is something we always look forward to, as we can come together to celebrate the region’s immense talent.
