London 100% gluten free street food & market stalls
There are nearly twenty 100% gluten free street food stalls and market stalls around London, so as a coeliac you are able to eat whilst enjoying the market atmosphere!
The criteria for inclusion is that the food has to be 100% gluten free (ensuring no cross contamination risk) and have its own outlet that you can visit.
This is the sister list to the 100% gluten free London post as it got too large – what a great problem to have! The original list now only contains fixed venues – cafes, restaurants and bakeries. If you are venturing out of London, the UK 100% gluten free page may also be of interest.

Sticky Bundits
Try Sticky Bundits for something different with their gourmet sushi burgers, with delicious buns made from rice.
This family team bring a twist on the burger. The fillings are as far from a burger as you can imagine, with exciting flavours, texture and colour combinations from places you’ve been or places you’d love to explore (think Vietnam, West Indies, Japanese & Chinese!). All dishes are gluten and lactose free and there is also a vegan option. Below is the Signature Dish – Boom Cha!, which is a twist on the noodle soup dish, Bun Cha and includes Vietnamese marinated pork burger with Asian basil chutney on sesame-infused rice buns.

Bubble&
Bubble & squeak is an English dish traditionally made with leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. It is usually made from potato and cabbage plus any other vegetables, mashed and fried together until the mixture is brown on all sides.
Bubble& however are dishing up gluten free gourmet bubble and squeak (and not from leftovers!) at street food markets around London during the week. You can also order online for fresh delivery to your door.
The ‘bubbles’ are served with mouthwatering seasonal accompaniments. For example, the Bubble& pork shoulder is Szechuan-glazed pork shoulder served with apple sauce and crackling. For a meat free option, try the goat’s cheese with garlic pesto or the halloumi curry with butternut squash, spicy cashews and coriander.
