NUGS

Rated 5.0 (2 reviews) in total | 24.7 miles from Colchester

We are NUGS®, a London-born fried chicken brand with one mission: to serve up seriously good fried chicken! From a back garden in East London with a £20 fryer to two pop-up locations and an events set-up, NUGS® has grown into something much bigger. In 2025, we were proud to win Deliveroo’s Best Chicken in London award, a massive milestone for us. We have taken the nugget to the next level by marinating our chicken for 24 hours, soaking in buttermilk, dredging in our secretly seasoned gluten-free flour mix, frying to order and finally coating in one of our incredible flavours that we make in-house daily! Choose from Bad-Boy Buffalo, Korean Heat, Smokey Joe's BBQ or maybe you want to keep things simple with our Original! We serve these up with some perfectly seasoned skin-on fries or delicious tater tots. All of our chicken is Red Tractor assured, halal and for our vegan friends we have some delicious crispy cauliflower NUGS! We have two options for private events - we can bring a small marquee setup to give that classic street-food, market stall-type feel or we have our brand new container trailer for those that have the space. We are super proud of this unit and it is often spoke of as the best looking trailer at the likes of Formula 1, Download Festival, Reading Festival and loads more. We will always a professional and friendly team on site that will always go above and beyond to make your event as special as possible. All of our team live and breathe our core values of Good Food, Good People and Good Energy.

We’re Ho Taco — a small, family-run crew slinging bold, authentic Mexican street food from our restored 1978 step van 🚐🔥 After years in the fast-paced corporate world, we traded suits for spatulas to build something real — fuelled by our love for food, flavour, and community 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨ We’re proud to be one of the only food trucks in the UK using a traditional trompo (vertical grill) to cook al pastor the proper way 🇲🇽🔥 — it’s a visual showstopper and a flavour bomb in one. Our food is made fresh on-site using locally sourced ingredients — from hand-pressed tortillas, to warm tortilla chips with homemade guac 🥑, and proper Mexican street corn 🌽 In 2025, we were handpicked to serve VIPs at Glastonbury, have catered celebrity events, and been scouted by Netflix for high-profile shoots. We don’t do bowls. We don’t cut corners. Just real tacos, real flavour, and real care. Whether it’s a wedding, party, corporate event or brand activation — we bring the energy, the flavour, and food your guests will talk about long after the last bite 🙌 Check us out on Instagram @hotacotruck to see the vibes 📸

Persian Deeg

Rated 5.0 (1 review) in total | 29.9 miles from Colchester

My name is Mina and I am the founder of Persian Deeg, London’s first Persian street food trailer. Growing up in Iran, a country with many restrictions, my mum taught me to find the beauty and art in everything. There was always a lack of avenues to indulge in creativity and express individuality. So I sought to find my creative outlet through cooking Every country expresses itself with food. “Food is Art” as my mum would always say. So in 2018 I followed my passion and went to Le Cordon Bleu London, where I graduated with a Grand Diploma in Culinary Arts. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with amazing chefs in various high-end restaurants and hotels all over the world; New York, Belgium, and London. Food is more than a substance; it's a powerful bond between family, friends, and cultures. Whether it’s a special celebration or just your typical Friday kabab lunch, family meals are an integral part of Persian culture. My favourite childhood memories were made while sitting around the ‘sofreh’ (spread) and sharing delicious home-cooked food. My goal with Deeg is to re-create the taste and smell of these dishes that evoke strong emotions and childhood memories. Iran’s unique cuisine has been kept a secret for so long. With Deeg, I wish to combine my learnings from luxury culinary experience with Iran’s delicious food from recipes that have been passed down in my family for generations and make it accessible to everyone.
