The southern heats of the British Street Food Awards supported by Hellmann’s will once again take place in Gunwharf Quays, offering visitors the opportunity to sample some of the very best street food from across the region.
Colin Wilding, General Manager at Gunwharf Quays, said, “We welcomed the competition for the first-time last year, and the response from our guests was incredible. Our unique waterfront location provides the ideal backdrop for some of the UK’s best street food traders to showcase their dishes and, offers guests a unique day out which combines delicious food and world class outlet shopping.”
