Don’t you worry, Leicestershire’s best street food event isn’t going anywhere. Canteen is well and truly here to stay, bringing you the UK’s top street food traders, cocktails, entertainment and more. Following a hugely successful stay at LCB Depot, this month the event takes place at a bigger site at Morningside Arena, home of Leicester Riders.

This month’s Canteen will take place on Friday 28 September from 4pm – midnight, which comes straight off the back of the news that they are shortlisted for BEST NIGHT OUT at the Leicestershire Tourism & Hospitality Awards. Not only that but they have the newly crowned winners of Britain’s Best Burger, The Patty Freaks, heading down for the party too!

WHAT’S NEW

With the change of venue comes a number of key improvements:

FREE on-site parking and plenty of it

More space

More traders

Lots of vegetarian and vegan options

Less queues

Longer hours

But the same great quality will continue to shine through from the traders who come from across the UK to bring their top, award-winning dishes to you!

Morningside Arena is home of Leicester’s own basketball champions, Leicester Riders, and is based on Charter Street, LE1, just a v short walk from the centre of town. Straight down Belgrave Gate, cross over the road and you’re there.

One thing that isn’t changing is the absolutely top quality traders that you’ve come to know and love from Canteen. So here we go…
