Since launching in 2012, Street Feast has transformed derelict and disused spaces into unique eating and drinking environments providing a variety of eateries and bars to the capital. But where is the company going wrong?
Street Feast used to be the hot spot for upcoming food restaurants but after two out of the five of their outlets have closed down, uncertainty surrounds the company’s future.
An anonymous source from within the company told City News that “Street Feast used to have the perfect model but due to a lack of innovation and over expanding there maybe more locations set to close. The company owners have made the wrong decisions in where to grow and business has been affected.”

Pop Brixton has been a huge success story and continues to serve up interesting food and new ideas on how to expand a business. The company, in co-operation with Lambeth council, is home to fifty new start ups and has only been open for two years.
Owner of Pop Brixton, Jack Harbourn, suggests their success has come from “ensuring local business’ have a platform to thrive. Our ethos was not to give high street chains more investment but to give smaller business, that come from the community, a place to grow.”
For customers of Street Feast, the future remains uncertain but for new business’ that wish to start a venture they may want to look elsewhere. Street Feast have certainly been over ambitious, biting of more than they can chew. It would seem they have chosen quantity over quality.
