Pop-up restaurant Gypsy Caravan
Husband-and-wife hospo dream team Annelise and Ryan Clarke have transformed the space formerly occupied by The Street Food Collective (which they own, as well as restaurant Miss Moonshine’s) into a pop-up restaurant offering North African, Greek, Turkish and Moroccan fare.
