Night Tales is back: Cocktails and street food in Hackney Wick

Night Tales may have changed location, but its love of food and booze remains

It's back: Night Tales in Shoreditch last year

Ben Norum20 June 2016

Cocktail and street food market Night Tales returns for its fifth London outing on June 24, and it has a new location in Hackney Wick.

It will run for 10 weeks throughout the summer and feature a British diner, a Jamaican beach bar, nightly DJs and a raised sun deck along with a host of food and drink stalls.

Food shacks will include jerk from Rudie’s, creative dishes inspired by British ingredients from Nanny Bill’s, burgers and more courtesy of Lucky Chip, pizzas from Slice Guys, wings and more from Wingmans, and all things egg-ilicous from The Good Egg.

That’s on top of four bars. The Lazy Flamingo Bar will return, serving pink pina coladas, spiced mojitos and watermelon sherbet daiquiris. The Coco’s Rum Shack will offer spiked coconuts, coconut based cocktails and the straight-up coconut water. ENTER.Sake will offer a hefty selection of Japanese sake. And the Singha Discovery Bar will serve the namesake Thai beer along with Thai street food snacks.
