A popular street food market in Leith may be forced to move to make way for a luxury flats development.

The street food scene is massive in the Capital.

However, much of it originated at The Pitt, the popular market that was founded by Hal Prescott and Scott Kirkham, and popped up in a disused industrial unit in Leith back in 2015.

Since then, it’s been a weekend hang-out and home for traders including Rost, Barnacles & Bones, The Buffalo Truck, Free the Chilli and dessert cafe Spot.

It also hosts the annual Scottish Street Food Awards and an Oktoberfest, where they serve drinks from their partners Barney’s Beer.

However, its original location on 125-137 Pitt Street is under threat, as developers J.Smart & Co plan to demolish five industrial units, including the one that houses the food market, which consists of a covered bar and seated area as well as an outside courtyard.
