Chow Down’s Final Foodie Fest For 2019

Halifax’s iconic Piece Hall is the venue once again this bank holiday weekend, for the final Chow Down of 2019 – and with 17 traders, including some new to Chow Down, there’s a great deal on offer for visitors to get their teeth into!

There are three days of food, drinks, live music and activities for the children.  Entry is free for under 14s and just £3 for everyone else.

Here’s the list of traders, proving there really is food for all tastes:

Little Red Food Truck: on burger duty, Little Red Truck bring the real deal –
flavoursome brioche buns dripping with beautifully-cooked patties, and proper
chips!
Fishnets: seasonal shellfish and fishy street-food from the masterminds
behind The Sausage Box.
MorMor: tasty, healthy street food inspired by the Middle East and the
Mediterranean, expertly catering for vegetarians, vegans and the carnivorous.
Nasi Lemak: Malaysian street food legends who bring Rempah Chicken,
Sambal Fries and their incredible Vegan Chkn dish, which is a sell out every
time.
Diamond Dogs: The finest hot dogs created with quality cuts and delicious
toppings, all encased in artisanal rolls with a proper crust.
Twisted Meal: A new kid on the block. Mexican food delivered with Northern
soul!
Yorkshire Burrito Company: Yep, that’s a roast in a Yorkshire Pudding
wrap. Need we say more?
Baking Biker: Delicious baked goodies from a small bakery who pride
themselves on local sourcing and avoiding any additives or preservatives.
Greek Street Food: Serving up all those Greek classics, from gyros to
sharing platters and beyond.
YOI Fried Chicken: Brought to you by Tikk’s Thai Kitchen this new concept
has just come fresh from Trinity Kitchen in Leeds. Asian style fried chicken
from their shiny retro trailer.
Nyama Choma: A slice of Savannah in the streets, this is Grill House cuisine
inspired by Kenyan adventures.

enjoys bringing their woodfired pop-ups to the masses with a huge event team
these days. Back after a very successful Chow down last year.
Oh My Glaze: A man with a pan serving wraps, wings and delicious things
across the North West.
Dim Sum Su: The finest, freshest Dim Sum food – steamed buns, spring
rolls, savoury dumplings, plus a whole lot more. They had big queues the last
time they were at Chow Down. Vegan options.
Sugar Spun Sisters: this Leeds-based waffle and dessert company is
renowned for their amazing, vegan-friendly creations!
Froconut: everything is vegan-friendly here, courtesy of their dairy-free
coconut ice-cream. Pick your flavour, pick your topping and eat eat eat.
Jenny’s Jerk Kitchen: if the sun doesn’t turn up you can at least eat some of
that sunshine, with Jenny’s amazing, barbecue-smoked Caribbean flavours.

Simon Fogal founder of Chow Down and Leeds Indie Food:

“Chow Down is a massive undertaking, with a two day set-up, hundreds of
people to organise, and thousands of punters to entertain! We love gathering
some of the North’s best foodies together in this stunning location, though –
it’s always a weekend to make you smile, and we’ll be sad to say goodbye to
Chow Down summer 2019!”

Chief Executive of The Piece Hall, Nicky Chance-Thompson:

“It’s clear from another successful series of Chow Down events that despite
the rain – people really appreciate a quality food and drink offer in Halifax and
it gives me great joy to see people enjoying themselves in the courtyard,
using the space for what it was designed for.  Working with the team from Chow
Down again this year has been great and over the last few years the event has helped
us to attract new audiences from Leeds and Manchester, putting Halifax on the map as a great cultural
and foodie destination. Our tenants benefit from new visitors to The Piece
Hall and food lovers seem to like our independent and quirky shops.”
