Five street food stalls-turned-restaurant

Grilled cheese, in toasted sandwiches, from a truck – it’s a simple-but-successful combination that propelled this start-up into a permanent home in Camden Market, where it melts fine British cheeses with creative additions like pear chutney or rosemary butter.

Breddos, whose shack first appeared in a Hackney carpark in 2011, was part of an early Mexican wave of places that showed Londoners how tacos were meant to be done.

Its little three-wheeled van can still be seen in Soho’s Berwick Street, but the Pizza Pilgrims mini-chain now bakes superlative Neapolitan-style pizzas for the masses across the city.

It’s all about the meat in this dark, hip Spitalfields joint, where nose-to-tail cuts spend serious time in a smoker and the barbecue is always burning.

NT stands for Night Tales – a summer-season street food and cocktail bar market – which has now found a permanent home in this scruffily romantic top-floor bar.
