Park Eats is a street food market management company that has been set up by two childhood friends who grew up together in Colindale together and developed their love for London and food along the way. Antonella and Benny are committed to bringing the buzz of central London to their doorstep using local parks that could use a bit of character. This has come from a passion for good street food and the drive to invest in local areas. Antonella grew up and still lives in the Colindale area; when she was much younger, she enjoyed trips to the park with her mother and friends-and then as a teenager, the park was somewhere to just hangout with friends to get out of the house during the long summer days. In recent years Antonella has noticed that the local parks are on the whole are less used and in a poor or state of repair and not widely appreciated by the local community. Benny is the foodie of the pair and has a real passion for bringing people together through good food and drink. She loves to explore the street food market scene in London and Benny shares this passion through social media. Benny has even harnessed her project management skills in the food world and held a food and drink pop up in Central London. Park Eats aims to provide good food, support local business and improve the use of local parks. Our company will aim to create street food markets in areas undergoing regeneration or in need of some life, to ensure that there is a focal point of the community.
With food as the main driver for the market, we will work with traders that provide quality, tasty food whether this is freshly cooked street food, fresh produce and healthy food, baked goods and drinks; the food will represent communities in the local area. We ensure communities are represented by having a clear criteria for stall holders to meet including lives or works in the borough e.g. current small restaurants or those who live in the borough and want to test a new concept. We will help stall holders with offering cooking equipment and giving advice. Park Eats are responsible for all marketing whether local or more widely to bring people into the borough. Park Eats will also tailor the markets to the season to ensure the community and wider visitors remain excited and continue to attend and support the businesses.
