The full line up of traders include:
· Amani Kitchen - Inspired by the vibrant and aromatic dishes of her childhood in Iraq, founder Amani’s passion for cooking was ignited around the dinner table in her grandparents' home. Fresh from a residency at KERB x Christmas at Kew, Amani’s authentic Middle Eastern, home-style dishes are a lunchtime hit!
· Ayal - Bringing the rich flavours of Turkmenistan to London’s food scene, founder Maral started her business after winning investment through KERB’s Coaching for Business programme (Streets Ahead). Maral then joined the incubator programme, and has since accelerated her business, serving up traditional palav and flavour-filled manti dumplings across the city.
· Banzai Kitchen - Keeping it in the family, mother and daughter founders Sumiko and Ocean graduated from KERB’s all-women incubator in 2024. Drawing influence from their Japanese and Jamaican heritage, their showstopper is their crispy Karaage chicken, served with Japanese rice, tangy coleslaw, and fried plantain.
· Mexclub - Erika, founder of Mexclub, is on a mission to fuel London’s streets with authentic Mexican street food. Fresh from a summer pop-up at KERB National Theatre, Erika’s slow-cooked beef birria tacos are something of legend and always served with a smile.
· Mr Porchetta - Founder Valeria opened her street food business serving authentic Italian porchetta after the pandemic. One of the freshest graduates from KERB’s incubator programme, her slow-roasted pork belly sandwiches have gained a loyal following across the city.
· Utopia - Founded by refugee entrepreneur, Hind. Utopia’s journey started on KERB’s Coaching for Business programme (Streets Ahead), before joining and graduating from the incubator programme. A master of Syrian street food, Hind’s spiced sujak wrap is a must-try.
