Classic Street Food With A Northern sole

Classic Street Food With A Northern sole

Calling Ace Faces, Old Souls and Indies Young and Old

True story, I told my 85-year-old fatha last year about opening Northern sole café at 50 years old. Sharp as a tack, he exclaimed the only street food I had growing up was hardened chewing gum (chuddy) off the 1970’s Ossett pavements! 

Street food’s come a long way since those tinned boiled burgers in the queue outside Rooftop Gardens or those chips that haven’t touched a pan of hot oil since Frank Wilson was a lad.

The best meals I’ve ever eaten were on the streets, at the sweaty gigs, the crappy campsites and corners of far flung places we occasionally got to visit. The freshness, the lack of snobbery, the value and the vibe all make up the indelible memories I have of great times with my mates over a bowl of fiery noodles in Vietnamese street market or a kebab and a Skol at a sweaty Stoke-on-Trent Northern Soul gig.

So Northern Sole Cafe (yes the ‘typo’ on Sole is deliberate!) is about serving all the best foot stompin’ street food you’ve tasted under one roof, cooked to a soundtrack of Northern Soul, Ska and Old and emerging British Indie and watched over from the walls by heroes like Tony Wilson, Daniel Blake, Billy Casper and JB Barrington. Blend in acoustic sets, street poets and iconic film nights and you’re in the bedroom or 6th form common room you always dreamed of. And right on the canal towpath of one of the best West Yorkshire villages you’ll ever visit.

We’re blue collar, white collar, dog collar
We’re Fred Perry not Kevin and Perry
We’re Coal not Dole
We’re Hacienda not Hipster (and we wear socks. Always.)
We’re away day casuals who give up our seats
We’re lasses not ladettes thank you very much
We ska dance with the other ‘arf on the lino when the kids are in bed
We’re kids rule, dogs cool, crazy fool
We’re all Northern Sole aren’t we?

See you on the Towpath x
