Two of Derry~Londonderry’s standout street food traders, Lo & Slo and Cullen’s Street Food, are currently at The Open Championship, as the only food traders from the city selected to feed the estimated 278,000 attendees at this year’s record-breaking event.
With an extensive vetting and testing process in place to ensure traders can meet the demands of one of the largest sporting events on the island in 2025, being chosen is no small feat. But for these two family-run, quality-first businesses, the opportunity is a fitting recognition of their consistent excellence in food and customer experience.
“After years in the amusement business, it’s exciting to bring our offerings to a new crowd,” said Joanne Cullen of Cullen’s Street Food. “Lo & Slo are bringing the good BBQ, and we’re providing the sweet afters.”
Known for their live fire cooking and bold BBQ flavours, Lo & Slo are thrilled to be to showcasing some of their signature dishes to a new audience. “We’re fired up to be bringing our big BBQ tastes to The Open,” said Emily McCorkell, founder of Lo & Slo. “We’ve developed a strategic partnership with global brand Traeger Grills. We've brought four of their Pro 780 Wood Pellet Grills in addition to our food truck to ensure we deliver consistent, quality food to the masses.” Lo & Slo are cooking up rare Irish breed moiled beef burgers from local supplier Moyletra Moileds.
Lo & Slo have also recently partnered with the popular outdoor cookware brand YETI.
Lo & Slo are members of the LegenDerry Food Network, a collaborative community of producers, chefs, and traders dedicated to celebrating and championing the North West’s rich food culture and local ingredients. Their commitment to provenance and authenticity will be front and centre as they showcase the best of Derry~Londonderry on a global stage.
