International inspiration

Str-eats is an idea born from travel. Founder Paul Whyte has tasted his way around the world, sampling cuisine from local restaurants, food trucks, hawker centres and street market stalls from Asia to Africa and South America. When he got back to the UK he was struck by the boring range of flavours on offer in on-the-go products like sandwiches and pasties and had his lightblub moment for Str-eats - a range of on-the-go pastry products stuffed with street food flavours.

Paul started selling his handmade products at markets and festivals with sell-out success, before contacting a manufacturer to work out how to produce large volumes.

His range includes Mumbai bhaji, Vietnamese chicken, Brazilian beef barbeque with lime salsa, Creole vegetable jambalaya and magical Moroccan lamb.

Each pastry is packaged in a trolleyfriendly, ovenable box, containing two or three portions designed for complimentary or buy-on-board respectively. Each portion is under 100 calories. Str-eats are low in sugar and are the first bite-sized pastry snacks made with boiled crust pastry for a crisp texture.

Helping street kids

This year Paul has exhibited at shows like The Speciality and Fine Food Fair and Innoveat, where his company won Most Innovative Product for the Mumbai bhaji.

Str-eats has put ‘giving back’ at the heart of its brand values and 5% of profits from each pastry are donated to the charity Street Kids. Str-eats plans to set up its own charity to control how funds are directed.
