Ipswich’s Marcus (Marco) runs an award-winning burger van, located at the first lay-by on the A12 between Martlesham and Woodbridge.
He has just won ‘Street Food of the Year’ Award with Velvet Magazine:
Street Food/Pop-up of the Year – Winner: Marco’s Smoke Shed
Sponsored by: Wood St. Coffee
Says judge Hannah Gregory: “On first look you may think this is just your standard roadside burger van; it is anything but. Anything that is not made inhouse is proudly sourced from local Suffolk suppliers with an emphasis on keeping food miles low and quality high. Not only is Marco serving perhaps the best burger I’ve had this side of London – there, I said it – he also offers a safe space for anyone who needs to chat or vent about the trials and tribulations of life, acknowledging that cooking has been a sort of therapy when managing his own mental health. It was an absolute pleasure not only to eat his food, but to chat the breeze with him. I cannot wait to go back for more.”
We love to see an Ipswich trader doing well and gaining recognition!
We hear that the £10.50 Hog Burger is exceptional and worth the drive just for that!
