Street food traders Cheeky Tikka Bites become the first Indian residency at Hatch

Popular street food hub Hatch on Oxford Road has now added South Asian flavours to their collection of talented independent traders and retailers. 

Alderley Edge based foodies ‘Cheeky Tikka Bites’ have become the first Indian street food residency at Manchester’s award-winning food, drink and retail destination after they opened their new stall on Monday 18th April. 


Cheeky Tikka launched during the first wave of the pandemic in 2020 as chef and owner Aisha Tilstone combined her event planning experience with her passion for cooking. Cheeky Tikka is a provides an updated take on traditional Indian food. The team prides itself on their unique culinary identity, using only the finest, freshest ingredients with no artificial additives, preservatives or colourings. 

Ever since, Cheeky Tikka has become a go-to destination for Cheshire foodies, thanks to a string of successful pop-up restaurants launched in June 2021. Their Indian-fusion flavours and a dedication to serving authentic, healthy dishes made from the finest ingredients has led to five-star reviews and sell-out events.

“We can’t wait to bring an authentic taste of India to Hatch,” says Aisha. “There is such a great mix of cuisines at the destination and we are so excited to complete the Hatch family with delicious, warming South Asian food.” 


Cheeky Tikka’s in demand catering service, previously only available to a limited number of customers a week, will now be available at Hatch as the team brings a new street-food menu of freshly prepared dishes to the city centre. The selection of small artisanal plates will be mostly gluten-free, low in fat and full of flavour. 

Menu highlights include fan favourite ‘Cheeky Samosa Chaat’ - a crispy samosa topped with a mildly spiced chickpea salsa, pomegranate and a mint and tamarind sauce; as well as their ‘Cheeky Chips and Gravy’: chunky chips with lashings of butter chicken and sauce.


Hatch is a globally-inspired foodie haven with an authentic Mancunian flavour. Visitors can enjoy new twists on proven concepts from a huge range of independent street food traders including Sicilian Street Food, offering T’arricrii, plant based Aussie-inspired Bondi Bowls, chicken Parmo peddlers Parmogeddon, Far-Eastern Fuku and many more.

Hatch supports brand new ideas in retails too, helping to launch entrepreneurial fashion, jewellery, art, craft and design start-ups. There are over 30 units in total all clustered around an informal courtyard, and new ventures launch on a regular basis, rewarding visitors with a fresh experience on every visit.
