One weekend. 50 traders.
The best of East and Southeast Asian street food, craft and culture, by the water.

KERB started life as an outdoor market. Fourteen years on, we went back to our roots and passed the mic to one of London’s most exciting food scenes.

KERB Goes East was a brand-new weekender celebrating East and Southeast Asian street food, craft and culture. Over two days, we welcomed 50 traders to Corner Corner, with the Thames/dock as the backdrop and the energy of a proper street market all weekend long.

The Food

The menu ran across the whole region. Japanese comfort food sat next to Singaporean curry puffs, Indonesian classics shared queue space with Korean-Mexican mash-ups, and everything in between. Many of the traders were bringing their cooking to KERB for the first time, which is exactly what this weekend was about.

The craft and culture

We teamed up with Urban Garden Fair to curate a market of independent East Asian craft and culture businesses. Think handmade ceramics, prints, textiles and traditional food items like condiments and spice mixes, all from small makers who rarely get this kind of stage.

The music and entertainment

Between bites, there was live music and entertainment all weekend with DJ’s, bands, and traditional dancers.

Drinks by the dock

The bar at Corner Corner stayed open all weekend, so you could grab a drink and watch the water while you waited for your next round of food.

Why East, why now

The East and Southeast Asian food scene is one of the most exciting in London right now, and a lot of it comes from independent traders who built their following on markets, pop-ups and street stalls. Giving them the spotlight felt like the natural thing to do.
