Tasty treats to hit the streets again
FOOD and drink fans are in for a treat as the town’s ‘Street Eat’ festival returns to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.
In 2019 more than 3,000 foodies flocked to the Street East festival and now a special edition of the event is being held to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
Organised by Rochdale Business Improvement District (BID), Street Eat was held annually until the coronavirus pandemic - with this year’s event being held on the Butts on Friday, June 3.
As well as live entertainment, tasty food from local restaurant chefs will be served with dozens of mouth-watering dishes all at £4.50 or less including Italian, Indian, English, German, American, Mexican and more.
BID manager Paul Ambrose, who organises the event with support from
Rochdale Borough Council, said Street Eat will showcase the town’s diverse food and drink.
He said: “It’s great we can finally bring this popular event back to get people together with food and drink and celebrate our town centre eateries. With the new restaurants that have opened in the last few years it’s going to be better than ever. Street Eat is family-friendly, you’ll be able to buy and try as many dishes as you like.
“Due to the work underway around the town hall we’re moving across to The Butts, another good location and very handy for public transport.”
While exact details have not been released yet, traders will include Bombay Brew, Vicolo Del Vino, The Medicine Tap, The Flying
Horse, The Baum and many more. Admission is free and the event runs from 11am to 7pm. For more on the lineup visit www.rochdalebid. co.uk and search #Streeteat Roch on social media.
