A guide to Manchester Street Food

Street food stalls are becoming as popular as Michelin star restaurants around the globe. 

Travel to any exotic location and all the guidebooks will you tell you that one of the "must-do" activities is to try the local street food.

However, in recent years, travel has become difficult so the clever chefs at The Oast House set about recreating their favourite globally-inspired flavours just for you.

From exotic Vietnamese cuisine to ‘Seoul-food” from Korea, we’ve saved you the air miles and brought the worldly flavours to your tastebuds here in the heart of Manchester.

Here's our guide to street food in Manchester...

Aperol Chicken Wings – Italian Cicchetti (small plates).

Head for Spain and you’ll be sure to find Tapas, but neighbours in Italy offer their own take called Cicchetti or small plates which allow the workers of Venice and Rome to enjoy sundown without heading home for supper.

If you’re craving a bite alongside your post-work Spritz, why not treat yourself to a favourite from our Small Bites with the delicious Aperol Chicken Wings?

Succulent chicken wings are finished with a sticky Aperol glaze.

Plant-Based Gyro - Greece Taverna

Greeks were one of the first groups of people to sell street food with small fried fishes sold from open windows to those without home ovens. However, we've taken inspiration from their 19th-century favourites of gyros.

We haven’t forgotten about our Vegan friends, either. Gourmet Greek dishes are sure to satisfy your senses, treat yourself to our Plant-Based Gyro Wrap. Greek flatbread filled with Frank’s cauliflower wings, generously seasoned fries, and a smooth pea houmous.

Bánh Mi –Vietnam side streets

Perhaps you’re feeling adventurous but don’t fancy packing a suitcase and sitting on a flight for hours?  We’ve discovered a way to bring the fabulous flavours of Vietnam to you right here in The Oast House. Get stuck in to the Bánh Mi, this baguette is packed with lemongrass pork belly, chicken pâté and coriander.

Loaded Fries - American Dive Bars, English chip shops and Candian pubs!

To quote Primal Scream "We wanna get loaded and we wanna have a good time", and across the world patrons of watering holes have often succumbed to post or mid-drink fried potatoes loaded with toppings.

The Oast House Street Food menu offers a variety of properly seasoned fries with your favourite toppings.

From  Northern Poutine (a hybrid of Canadian Poutine and English "Cheesy Chips"),  Buffalo Fries (inspired by American Dive bars with a choice of Buffalo Chicken or Cauliflower) and Japanese-inspired Katsu loaded fries, we've got your munchies covered.

Street food not up your street? Hanging Kebabs are still here.

Well, fear not, this wouldn’t be a blog from The Oast House if there wasn’t a mention of our Famous Hanging Kebabs – and they’re sticking around alongside our award-winning burgers.

All of our signature kebabs are served with seasoned fries or. if you fancy, you can upgrade to bang bang fries or chunky chips.

Feast on our Chicken and Chorizo Kebab, it’s marinated in lemon and herbs with smoked paprika oil for a zesty, fiery kick. Or for an absolute classic, get your hands on our Lamb Kofta Kebab, you won’t regret it! The lamb is marinated in Middle Eastern spices, coated in harissa jam and garlic oil to give it an authentic taste.  

Whatever you’re craving, The Oast House is sure to have something right up your street – without ever having to leave the courtyard!
