Petra Barran
PR, recruitment, content
petra@eat.st
Petra has been involved with the British mobile food scene since 2005. Back in London after several years of sailing on the open seas and picking up inspiration from all kinds of fruity places, Petra didn’t want to stop moving. One night it came to her in a great stomach tingling flash - she would create her very own chocolate van, Choc Star, and drive it all over Britain dispensing her delicious, choc filled wares.
After witnessing first hand the animating effects on cities of food bought and sold on the streets she became more interested in the wider culture of the industry and its potential for development. eat.st is the result of this interest.
Whilst nurturing the grassroots street food movement in Britain, Petra is studying for an MSc in Urban Studies at UCL. In October 2011 she was given the award for 'One Person's Passion' at the American Express London Restaurant Awards and in November 2011 named as one of the Evening Standard's '1000 Most Influential Londoners'.

Years after they first met as teenagers back in Suffolk, Petra and Giles had the same idea at the same time…a street food collective!
