Foodie Fridays Street Food Market

Foodie Fridays returns to Commercial Road on Friday 26 June, the monthly street food market that takes over a stretch of Portsmouth city centre. It runs from 10:00 to 16:00, so it's as much a lunchtime spot as a slow Friday afternoon thing.

The whole point is the variety. It's a gathering of independent traders, each with their own stall, so you can work your way down the road and pick up something different at every stop. The spread is international, with Thai noodles and shawarma sitting alongside crepes, french fries and Japanese specialities. There are vegetarian and vegan options too, and fresh produce to take home if you're not just there to eat on the spot.

Because it's all independent traders, it's a good way to support local businesses while you're out. You can grab a quick lunch and keep moving, or take your time and wander through the stalls. It's open to everyone, and it's family-friendly, so it works whether you're on a break from work or out for the day with the kids.

It's a street food market, so entry is free—you only pay for what you eat and drink. It runs from 10:00 to 16:00 on Commercial Road in the city centre.
