Born from a love of bold flavours and shared plates, Vovó Cantina opened their hatch in October 2022 with a menu inspired by South American street food and Brazilian food culture. Rooted in the traditions of community, unity, and family, their dishes are vibrant, generous, and full of character. From region-inspired grilled meats and loaded burritos to hot dog combos and crowd-pleasing sharers, Vovó quickly outgrew their original spot and expanded across the courtyard, serving up fusion flavour bombs that have cemented themselves as fan favourites.

Their Trader’s Table will see you treated to your very own Vovó platter, with a choice between their Bandito Platter or their Veggie version.

Bold, indulgent, and made for sharing, Vovó presents their Bandito Platter – bringing the heat, smoke, and crunch to your table. Enjoy a rich pork birria taco and a fennel & smoked sausage tostada with chipotle, rocket, and chimichurri, alongside charred padrón peppers and cream-cheese-filled piquante peppers. Corn nachos with chilli cheese, fajita-spiced rice with sweet biquinho peppers, and smoky spiced fries complete the spread, served with cooling avocado crema and bold chipotle in adobo.

For vegeterians, their Veggie Bandito Platter delivers big flavour without compromise. Enjoy a padrón pepper, jalapeño, and apple tostada with zesty crema, rocket, and chimichurri, plus grilled corn cobs brushed with chipotle and orange butter. The platter is rounded out with charred padrón peppers, crispy piquante peppers filled with creamy cheese, corn nachos with chilli cheese, fajita-spiced rice with sweet biquinho peppers, and smoky spiced fries — all served with avocado crema and chipotle in adobo for dipping and drizzling.

To drink, you can choose from a Jarritos Mexican Soft Drink, or a pint of Northern Monk’s Eternal Session IPA. Alternatively, for just £3, you can upgrade to a Spicy Tommy’s Margarita to compliment your platter.
