On the 18th and 19th of August street food trailblazers, KERB, take over the King’s Cross Canopy with their ‘Ultimate Vegan Rumble’: eight KERB-picked traders, cooking up London’s most indulgent vegan dishes to battle it out for KERB’s golden carrot.
All this vegan talent spurting up on London’s streets, bending minds, cracking carnivores, shifting perceptions. KERB have rafted together 8 of the best vegan wizards out there to conjure up two days straight of vegan indulgence for everyone to delve into – vegans, veggies and meat lovers alike.
Not a mung bean or buddha bowl in sight, this one’s luring all Londoners in with deep fried buffalo wings, chocolate brownie mud pies, red Thai curry pots, Venezuelan chip buttie arepas, Tandoori naans and Afro tacos but not as you know them. Enter the ‘Rumble’, eat them all, vote for the winner and live on the (v)edge.
Expect flavour explosions from KERB’s best, alongside brand new guest traders. Featuring: Bucket List reigning champions Petare, new inKERBator Biff’s Jack Shack, and vegan fast food fried chicken-shop pioneers, Temple of Seitan.
