Spit & Roast 

Relatively new on the London street food scene, Spit & Roast serves chicken that has been soaked in buttermilk before being thrown in the fryer.

Alternatively, the crew are already known for their rotisserie spit chickens, if you prefer your hen that way. Backing up the meat fest (there’s pork on offer, too) are sides including cornbread muffins, garlic and rosemary potatoes and herb gravy.

Luardos

It’s hard to beat this lot for delicious, healthy-ish comfort eats.

The brainchild of Simon Luard, who studied cookery in Oaxaca, Mexico, Luardos sells its wares from two graffiti-covered vans: the pink one called Mary; the blue one, Jesus H.

All grub is prepared fresh daily and the chicken, beef, pork and veggie burritos are oozing with creamy guacamole, home-made salsa, herby salad and sour cream.

£5+, Mon - Fri 11.30am - 2pm  Whitecross Street Market, EC1Y 8JD 
Barbican, Old St, Moorgate Sat 10am - 2pm  Brockley Market, Lewisham Way, London, SE4 1UT
