Meal deal promotion for remote workers could help to save our high street

By

Remote workers in Streatham can now enjoy a £10 meal deal and support local hospitality businesses on Streatham High Road.

Rising costs are forcing consumers to keep a tight rein on their spending, while local businesses are seeing fewer customers come through their doors. Local firm, Werkzone, is aiming to give both sides a helping hand with a meal deal promotion that starts on Monday 1 May 2023. 

The ‘Huddle Together’ £10 Meal Deal encourages remote workers to treat themselves to lunch for £10 or less, while giving local coffee shops, pubs and restaurants a much-needed boost.

Local favourites include hidden gems and well-known retailers alike, including Green Cactus Café, Café, Perfect Blend, Batch & Co SW16 (Little Batch) and I Love Coffee. 

Werkzone founder and Streatham resident, Odette Hutchinson, says “Huddle Together aims to help price-savvy remote workers support their emotional wellbeing, by letting them work in a social environment close to home, but not at home. By treating themselves to a £10 lunch at one of Streatham’s favourite places to eat and drink, they’ll also be giving local businesses a fighting chance of surviving well into 2024 and beyond.”

The Huddle Together meal deal promotion starts on 1 May 2023 and is available mostly from Monday to Friday (times vary by venue) and ends on 31 May 2023. Further details can be found online: werkzone.net

Not a remote worker? 

You can still enjoy a Huddle Together meal deal, even if you are not a remote worker. Deals are aimed at remote workers, but open to everyone.

The Big Lunch and Streatham Village Market

By

The Big Lunch for Streatham is happening on Saturday 6th May from 10am!

Come down to Streatham Green for a special day of community celebrations. Bring a picnic, pick up a takeaway from a local business or buy something delicious to eat and drink at the Streatham Village Market on the edge of the Green that day (10-3pm).
Bring your friends, family (and a picnic blanket!) and take part in an event to kickstart the summer season of creativity and community fun here in Streatham!
We want to focus on driving out anti-social behaviour whilst celebrating our tiny oasis of green in the high street at Streatham Green. As a result we have decorated the space with bunting, greening, picnic tables and benches.
The market runs from March to December (excluding August), from 10am to 3pm.⁠ Swing by to support Streatham’s best, including hot food stalls, small businesses and makers, and other familiar faces from the local community.
Interested in trading at a village market? The next market will be on May 6th. To register your interest please fill in this online form.

Streatham Food Festival 2023

By

The InStreatham Food Festival is coming back with a bang this Summer! Returning to our original format of 4 days, the event will include the Streatham Food Tour and the Streatham Food Fair, back for one day on Streatham Green.

Taking place from 29th June to 2nd July 2023, we will showcase the amazing global food selection on offer in Streatham.  This year’s event will have a renewed focus on restaurants and cafes offering small, bite sized, taster dishes, to encourage participants to taste their way around Streatham, trying as many different eateries as possible.  Each dish will be priced at between £5 and £10, making the event affordable for all.

We’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the Streatham Food Fair back to Streatham Green this year too, alongside Streatham Village Market on the same day.  The event will feature food stalls, music and entertainment – bringing a buzz to Streatham Green and creating a focal point for the festival.

Spreading the word

The event will be promoted with an outdoor ad campaign and through a programme created and distributed with Heart Streatham Magazine, on the social media channels for the Streatham Food Festival and InStreatham.  A PR push will help ensure as many people hear about it as possible, with posters and bunting created and distributed to all participating outlets too, to visually highlight the businesses taking part.   

How do I get involved?

If you’d like your business to get involved, either in the Food Tour or with a stall at the event on Streatham Green, simply complete the application form and return it to events@instreatham.com by 15th May at midday.
