‘SUDDENLY, it feels like summer – B.eat Street is back sunny side up’ is how back in April we heralded the return of the quirkiest food and booze pop-up in town. That was a couple of months after it had shut up shop as a permanent parade of traders atop the Great Northern Warehouse three years after it made its name in the building.
The Summer Weekender parties since have been fun in the sun (and the rain) but now it’s the end of the line for the Deansgate Mews operation. The Great Northern will soon be entering a period of redevelopment and this August Bank Holiday Weekend team behind B.eat Street and Friday Food Fight are throwing three days of parties to mark the end of an era.
It’s not exactly R.I.P. , B.eat Street on the site. Zak Veasey from Trilogy Real Estate, developers of Great Northern told us: “They will be sadly missed as they move out of their home to make way for the start of the first phase of our exciting redevelopment. However, we see them as part of the scheme’s future as we pull together the best food, drink and retail offerings of the North and hope to work with the team again and welcome them back once we are complete.”
A stalwart of the street food line-up, Dirty Food Revolution, will be dishing out the burgers and there’s a Bad Fun DJ takeover on Friday and Saturday nights with live music from Jess Kemp from 4pm on Saturday and from Lavender from 4pm on Sunday.
B.eat Street’s Chris Legh said: “Come along and join us in our last weekend of #SummerWeekenders here at B.EAT STREET. So come down, party and eat some of the best street food in town and get boozy with us”.
