Poutinie
15.6 miles from Chingford
Hi, I’m Julian, I started Poutinie because there’s a real gap in the UK for proper Canadian poutine. People actually travel from all over to our home unit in Tooting because they miss the food from home, and we love hearing their stories about Canada and why poutine means so much to them. We do it the right way: golden crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, and rich, signature gravy. I wanted to bring the real thing to the UK, with a modern, festival-ready twist that’s indulgent, bold, and fun.
We trade from a bright, bold, Poutinie-branded pop-up that really stands out on any event. Our menu includes authentic poutine, festival specials like 8-hour smoked beef chuck and short rib, and crispy fried chicken tenders with fun sauces like Buff Chick Wow Wow and Sticky Situation. We can cater for gluten-free, halal, and vegetarian diets, and our friendly, professional team keeps everything running smoothly. Sustainability matters to us too, we use eco-friendly packaging, work with UK suppliers, and minimise waste wherever possible.
We’ve traded at major events including London Mayor’s St Patrick’s Day Festival (75,000+ people), Padstow Christmas Fayre with Rick Stein, Thame Food Festival, Victoria Park Market Hackney, and Lloyd Park Market Walthamstow. We also have upcoming filming at our home pitch in Tooting Market with the BBC for BBC Sport and Arsenal FC, which shows the quality and popularity of what we do. We’re fully self-sufficient, high-volume ready, and easy to work with, if you want something different, bold, and guaranteed to get people excited, that’s us.
