You’ll never go hungry on Eat.St
King’s Boulevard is a recently constructed walkway connecting King’s Cross and Euston stations with the relocated Central St Martins College of Art to the north. At the north end, from Wednesdays to Fridays (10am-3pm), you’ll find a huddle of food vans serving lunch. They all belong to the eat.st collective, which have been popping up at lots of choice events over the last year or two; part of their appeal is that the vendors rotate. On our most recent visit it was the turn of Luardo’s burritos, dispensing from the bright pink retro van; Anna Mae was dispensing chili; and Tongue n Cheek were selling Italian-style ox cheek with polenta. Our own favourite was Kimchi Cults, with their Korean-style filled baguettes. We tried the beef bulgogi, cooked to order then laced with the tang of fermented cabbage. Most of the dishes here cost around a fiver, are filling, and – if the sun is out and the wind not whistling by too hard – the funky plastic seats on King’s Boulevard are a nice spot for a quick lunch.
