Due to the success of the weekly street food market in the Guildhall Shopping Centre the organisers have decided to expand.
On Thursday, September 4 there will be a night street food market on the Quay between 5.30pm and 9.30pm.
The organisers say that they have started it early enough to allow families with younger children to pop down and eat before bedtimes.
At the moment this is a one-off but, according to the city council, if it is a success it is likely that there will be further dates.
Lyndsey Terrell, events manager at Exeter Street Food said: "The Quay was the obvious choice; after living in Exeter for many years you see how integral it is to Exeter's recreational activities.
"The Quay is also significant as it was the old fish market it is lovely that such a modern concept as the street food revolution ties in with the history of the venue."
There is an impressive line up of different cuisines of street food to look forward too, including Spanish, American, Egyptian, Persian, Vietnamese, locally reared, African, sustainable fish, and Caribbean – everything you could want from a Philly cheese steak to fresh calamari! There are also lots of vegetarian options too.
Dan Wagner from Dan's American Kitchen said: " We can't wait to bring the buzz and theatre of street food to one of Exeter's iconic locations."
Emphasis has been put on local independent businesses and it can also help the dining out budget, considering a family of four can eat restaurant quality food from under £25. Dishes vary in price from £3-£7 per dish.
Live music will be provided by local musicians Alex Gregory and David Waller.
Dave Lewis, events and facilities manager for the city council, said: "We are really pleased to support this market. "Exeter Street Food have proved that they can stage markets very successfully and we hope that this venture will be a valuable addition the city's markets programme and another boost to the ever improving Quayside."
