It’s Canteen time again as Leicester’s best street food event returns to LCB Depot on Friday 25 May for a Bank Holiday Special. The foodie line-up looks incredible and they’ll be joined by a cocktail bar takeover from one of our favourite, The Turkey Cafe! As always it runs from 5pm – 10pm and we’ve got a look at the trader menus right here. What are you going to be having?

As usual the resident Canteen DJs will be there spinning some great tunes for you, so kick start your Bank Holiday weekend in the best way! See you there.
