Bring the magic of Christmas to your home

Northampton`s hottest street food pop-up brings you a revved-up winter warmer version of @BiteStreet NN as they head indoors into a groovy, new space here at the Bell Plantation.
They`re taking over a building with events at the end of October, early November and Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in the run up to Christmas.

It`s fully heated with exposed brick, huge steels and reclaimed corrugated iron. The vendors will be outside in a cute courtyard like last year.

The bar will be inside with the usual at table ordering for food and drinks so you can hang with your BFs while they do the heavy lifting. The atmos will be epic!

There`ll be foaming beer, house cocktails, cool tunes and great vibes.
