Parked outside St Mark’s Church in Kennington is a black street food truck, adorned with gold writing and two picnic benches plopped in front of it. This is the home of Bokit’la, a trailblazing street food business bringing French-Caribbean cuisine to the capital.
Established by brothers Nico and Thierry Baptiste 13 years ago, Bokit’la has been flogging traditional Guadeloupean street food to hungry customers at markets across London. The business has built up a loyal customer base, accumulating an impressive 40,000 followers on Instagram.
