Northampton is home to a number of street food pop-ups, which we are lucky to have on offer on our doorstep every single month.

The beauty of these events is that you can attend in a group and everyone can eat from a different vendor, all while supporting independent businesses.

The Big Local – June 3 and 4

Having held its third-pop up during the bank holiday weekend at the end of April, the next event organised by The Big Local will be on June 3 and 4.

It will run from 12pm until 9pm on both days and all the family are welcome to attend.

Taking place at the Duston Mill Wedding and Events Venue in Upton, there will be street food vendors, live music and craft stalls – and it is only £1 per person to enter.

Tickets are soon to be released, alongside a list of the food vendors that will be in attendance.

To accompany the food offering, the event organisers Jimmy Emmett and Clare Parmenter have their own bar company. Black Ducks Bars will be serving drinks and keeping them flowing over the entire weekend.

You can purchase your ticket on the door, or pre-book your space online when the tickets are released.

And if you are looking to pencil in future dates, The Big Local will be back at the Duston Mill on July 1 and 2, and August 19 and 20.

A new trader is joining the Bite Street pack next month. Meat Meets Bun will be offering ‘filthy burgers’.

They will be joined by Bite Street favourite Disco Fries, South African food from Banquet 1415, and Santina’s Pizza.

To top it off, Sticky Beaks will be offering loaded mac and cheese and you can finish off your meal with a vegan sweet treat from Flats Doughnuts.
