Street food in the UK has come a long way.
Not too long ago, there was a common stereotype that street food in the UK was all about burgers and pizzas. And while we’ll always have love for the classics, the reality today is so much richer.
Street food has evolved into a vibrant celebration of global flavours. And one thing is clear: Asian street food has redefined what we expect from a food truck.
From fragrant Punjabi curries to fiery Filipino BBQ and soulful wok-fried noodles, these flavours are showing up more and more at markets, festivals, and local pop-ups. Whether it’s South Asian, Southeast Asian, or East Asian cuisine, the street food scene in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes is more diverse (and delicious) than ever.
So if you’re on the hunt for bold, authentic flavour, here are 10 Asian street food vendors you need to try:
🇳🇵Gurkha Street Food – Pillowy momo dumplings and bold Nepali flavours that keep crowds coming back.
🇮🇳 Hyderabadi Dhaba – Grilled tandoori, buttery naan, and rich curries from a chef with over 15 years of experience.
🇵🇭 Chibog – Heartwarming Filipino dishes that taste like family gatherings, from BBQ skewers to pansit noodles.
🇮🇳 RaSoi 6 – Authentic Indian street food made from scratch and served from an Audi RS6-towed food truck.

Chibog
"Tara, chibog na!" — Come, let’s eat! That’s the spirit behind Chibog, a Filipino street food pop-up bringing the flavours (and feelings) of home to every dish. Run by Celine and her lovely team, Chibog is more than a food stall, it’s a celebration of Filipino family gatherings. Even the name says it all: “Chibog” is Filipino slang for “food,” often used when inviting others to eat and that’s exactly what they do best.
From smoky BBQ skewers and crispy lumpia (spring rolls) to slow-cooked adobo and pansit noodles, every bite is a tribute to Filipino culture. Expect authentic recipes, heartwarming portions, and plenty of hospitality from Chibog!
