British Street Food is a fast growing phenomenon with, inevitably, the ‘growing pains’ that come with such growth.
Now, Richard Johnson and the team behind The British Street Food Awards (see British Street Food Awards going European) have quietly ‘soft launched’ their App, allowing it to be discovered whilst the traders get on board with the idea.
But it’s now up, running and working – download it at www.britishstreetfood.co.uk/app – and people seem to like it. In the words of H & C News’ reviewer: “Looks good to me. Easy to use, simple to locate British street food, able to review and see photos of site. Works well!”
The best street food in Britain
The new app showcases the best street food in Britain. It’s revolutionary, with live GPS maps showing who’s trading where and when. It details the specials of the best traders, and encourages punters to photograph – and review – their food. The idea is that it will help build a bigger street food community.
But it’s about more than that. At British Street Food they’ve had (literally) hundreds of people saying how unfair the whole street food scene was becoming – that traders were being offered the best pitches according to the van they drove. This app is designed to change that. It will allow the woman who makes amazing pies on a market stall in Hull to be ranked – just like the man who makes arepas on a street food market in London – by the people she’s serving. She’ll be able to use the app as her own. And, by bringing her pies to the attention of the British Street Food judges, get the attention she deserves at the British Street Food Awards.
