It’s Canteen time again and June’s event has been billed as a huge “Best of the Best” line-up.

Happening on Friday 30 June at LCB Depot on Rutland Street, the event is expanding with an additional event entrance opening on Colton Street with extra traders, covered seating and additional entertainment. So what are you going to be eating this month? Here’s an exclusive look at the trader menus.

The hugely popular boutique cocktail bar will also return in association with William Grant and Sons along with one of the UK’s leading bartenders, Stephen Pennack, who is back after such a fantastic event in April.
