Edinburgh's brand new permanent street food market is hosting a weekend-long party to celebrate St Patrick's Day, starting from tomorrow.
Edinburgh Street Food is marking the occasion by enhancing their already illustrious menu with green and quintessentially Irish specials.
The line up includes a must-have “Fancy A Coddle?” by European Street Food winners Junk; a comforting take on the Dublin Coddle featuring crispy tatties, mash, Campervan Extra Black mayo and reduction, roasted leeks, beet pickled onion, pork & leek sausage and smoked bacon sauce.

Meanwhile Detroit pizza legends, Homies, have recreated the tricolour in pizza form with a heavenly “Leek & Tayto Crunch” - a light and aerated pizza topped with red sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, shredded leeks and smokey bacon Tayto’s.
Other special dishes from Edinburgh Street Food’s residents include green bao from Bundits, loaded with your choice of braised short rib or shiitake mushrooms, and freshly made spinach spaghetti tossed in kale and walnut pesto from pasta experts Fabbrica.
To wash it all down, Edinburgh Street Food have partnered with Campervan Brewery to paint the town “Extra Black”.
On tap will be the Leith based microbrewery’s new gluten free Scottish porter - a a rich and perfectly balanced dark beer, which is unfiltered, unfined, suitable for vegans and gluten free.
Paul Gibson, owner of Campervan Brewery said: "We’re delighted to be working alongside Edinburgh Street food during its St Patricks weekend celebrations. Extra Black is our latest beer to hit the market.
"It’s a Nitro Porter, which is also Gluten Free and we think it’s the perfect, local alternative to that other Nitro beer originating from Ireland. The team at ESF were very keen to be part of our launch and have shown great support for local businesses and their produce."
With live music from upbeat guitarist Finbar Horgan and DJs late into the evenings, this weekend promises to be a good one.
You can visit Edinburgh Street Food at the Omni Centre on Leith Street, opening at 11am and closing at 1am - with extended food hours until 10:30pm this weekend.
