STREET FOOD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Entries for the annual Street Food Championships will reopen mid-2026.

The annual cookery competition, which is joint organised with our sister publication Dine Out, took place on 18 November 2025 at the Big Penny Social, London. 

To enter the British Street Food Championship, entrants have to submit a recipe for their signature dish which they have to prepare on the day of the awards with their own ingredients. Our judges select the best and most creative street food dishes from the multitude of submissions. 

Alongside their signature dish, chefs will also have to prepare a technical dish, using sponsored ingredients. As well as a dish for the Lee Kum Kee Ultimate Umami round, and a dish for the Major Wings Challenge.
