A relaxed street food market on Commercial Road featuring independent traders with a mix of international and local produce, including vegetarian, vegan and fresh options.
Foodie Fridays returns to Commercial Road on Friday 25 September, the last Friday of the month. It's a regular on the Portsmouth calendar, bringing street food to the high street once a month, and this edition is no different. It's pitched as a relaxed way to support local businesses while you're out and about in the city centre.
The food comes from independent traders, and the range is wide enough that you can go in different directions in one go. There are Thai noodles, shawarma and Japanese specialities, alongside crepes and jacket potatoes, with vegetarian, vegan and fresh produce options too. It's the kind of setup where you can grab a quick lunch or linger over a few different things.
It sits within a wider city market scene that's framed as the most authentic way to experience food: talking directly to the people who grow or rear what ends up on your plate, getting the freshest produce and supporting local businesses. The range runs from artisan producers selling hand-crafted products to traditional butchers whose entertainment value is said to be as good as the produce they stock.

Foodie Fridays runs on the last Friday of every month on Commercial Road in Portsmouth city centre. It's a street food market, so it's about the food and the people behind it, and it's one of the regular ways the city's market scene shows up on the high street.
