It's MKFM's 5th birthday on 106.3FM today, and we're celebrating by eyeing up five tasty looking street food stalls in Milton Keynes...
Street food is taking the world by storm, and Milton Keynes is no exception. There are plenty of great street food vendors here in Milton Keynes, but we have picked out five which we will definitely be heading to soon.
Fry Guys MK
Fry Guys MK has only been open a few weeks, but boy have they already made their mark! They have filled the gap in the local street food scene with their own take on loaded fries.
There are plenty of options to choose from, with the most popular being the 'hoggmeiser' - fries, BBQ pulled pork, maple bourbon BBQ, chipotle mayo and pork scratchings. Aside from fries, the 'Fry Guys Breakfast' has proved popular boasting tater tots, a cheese omelette, smoked bacon (or facon) bits, spring onions and sriracha.
Where? Queen's Court at the centre:mk
When? Every day from 11am - 5pm (or until sold out)
Made in Sud
Made in Sud is a popular lunch choice for shoppers, and they pride themselves in being the 'first true and only authentic' Neapolitan Pizzeria in the area.
Their pizzas are reasonably priced too, so you can grab a small margarita pizza for just £3. Other popular pizzas include the 'nduja, vegana, and of course their Nutella pizza.
Where? intu Milton Keynes (opposite Zara)

Saf's Kitchen
Another gap in the local street food market has been filled by Saf's Kitchen and their multi-award-winning Punjabi cuisine. They offer Punjabi afternoon tea, BBQ platters, Punjabi burgers (picture below) and plenty of traditional dishes.
They cook the dishes out of their home in Wolverton, and also appear at various pop-up events across the area.

Eat is Greek
Another vendor worth a try is Eat is Greek, who sells authentic Greek street food out of their shack in the centre:mk. You might have seen Eat is Greek across MK, as they've been trading since 2016 and have been based in areas including Bletchley, Stony Stratford, and Newport Pagnell.
On the menu are gyros, souvlaki, Greek country sausage, traditional Greek salad, tzatziki and more.

Bandit Street Food
Bandit Street Food, another multi-award-winning vendor, serves 'classic Americana BBQ with a British twist'. The owners pride themselves in being big fans of BBQ, and have integrated that into their menu.
The food is handmade 'with care and attention' using a number of local suppliers, with a lot of the sauces being homemade too.
Burgers seem to be the star of the show, but they also offer wraps, sides, desserts and more.
