Increasingly, people are spending their evenings not at restaurants but at street feasts such as Dinerama. Dining outdoors appears to be a hit with Londoner’s even with the colder weather so we’ve selected nine of our favourite stalls which you should definitely try out. Whether you prefer sweet or savoury, jerk chicken or chicken tikka, there’s something to satisfy all palates.
