Spotlighting 10 Plates
From sizzling street food to indulgent desserts, August's Black Eats Fest by Black Eats LDN was a joyful showcase of Black-owned culinary talent.
This year, we wandered from vendor to vendor, tasting flavours from across Africa, the Caribbean and beyond. At Cashblack, we’re excited to give the low-down on 10 standout picks from the festival who you can also find on Cashblack - vendors whose food, stories and energy truly stayed with us.
And thanks to our partnership with Deliveroo through Afrofiliate, you don’t have to wait for the next festival to try them. Instead, if you’re in London, you can enjoy these incredible flavours delivered straight to your door!
Don’t worry if you’re not in London, we’ll be resuming regular service by focusing on restaurants & eateries across the UK.
