🥟❤️ Thank You, Bury. Some places find their way into your heart. 🏡✨

Some encounters last just an afternoon. Some memories quietly grow into stories, season after season.

From the Food & Drink Festival at The Rock to the busy weekends at Kay Gardens. From Prestwich to Ramsbottom, and all those days filled with music, laughter and familiar faces. Somewhere along the way, we left little pieces of our story all across Bury. ❤️

One of our proudest memories was watching Joby represent Bury and win the Hot Food category at the NMTF Young Traders Market North West Regional Final. That day, Bury became more than somewhere we visited. It became part of a memory our little family will always treasure. 🏆

We’ve spent years travelling from one market to another. Some places were only meant to be another stop along the way. Yet somehow, they became places we never quite left behind.

And this November, a new chapter begins. 🍂

By a lovely coincidence, mum Wing and son Joby are both opening their very first businesses in the same month. Two little dreams, just 12 days apart.

📍 14 Nov | Ashton, Mum Wing’s first little kitchen. 🏡

📍 26 Nov | Bury Casewells, Son Joby’s first little kitchen. ❤️

Before opening his own place, Joby will spend those 12 days helping his mum get hers off to a lovely start. And dad Stanley? He’ll still be behind the wheel, driving everyone and everything around, just as he always has. 🚗❤️

So, to all our lovely friends in Bury, if you’ve missed seeing Joby and Wing, you don’t have to wait until the 26th. From 14 November, you’ll find them both together in Ashton, ready to welcome you again.

Some journeys take us a long way before we finally find somewhere to call home.

And sometimes, the loveliest part of chasing your own dream is helping someone you love begin theirs. 🥟❤️

🥟❤️ Thank You, Stretford. Five weeks we'll never forget. 🏡✨

Some places we visit for a day. Some places we return to once a month. But Stretford was different. ❤️

Five weeks might seem like a small part of our street food journey, but somehow, a place that was once unfamiliar slowly began to feel like home.

We started recognising familiar faces and welcoming customers who came back again and again. Some of you would stop by just for a chat, even when you weren't buying anything. Others told us how you'd always been happy to drive half an hour just to enjoy a good meal.

Sometimes, what makes a place unforgettable isn't the scenery, but the people we meet along the way. ❤️

And now, we have some lovely news to share.

📍 14 November | Our first permanent OPPA Kitchen opens in Ashton! 🎉

It's around a 20-minute drive from Stretford. This time, we'll finally have a little kitchen of our own. No more waiting for the next market, or wondering when we'll be back.

Just a little kitchen, three familiar faces, and the food you remember. 🥟❤️

To everyone in Stretford who supported us, thank you. Five weeks may not seem long, but some encounters stay with us for a lifetime.

Before, we came to Stretford to see you.

Now, we hope that one day, you'll come to Ashton to see us. 🏡❤️

27/10/2026

🥟❤️ Thank You, Stockport.

Some moments happen every Saturday. Some goodbyes aren't really goodbyes. ❤️

We'll still be at our usual spot on 31 Oct & 7 Nov. But on 14 Nov, a new chapter begins as our little family opens its first kitchen in Ashton. 🏡✨

We'll be taking a short three-week break from Stockport, returning on 5 Dec. In the meantime, our new Ashton kitchen is just a 15-minute drive from Stockport, so familiar faces are always welcome! 🚗🥟

Sometimes, moving forward doesn't mean moving away. It simply means having another place to meet. ❤️

25/10/2026

🥟❤️ Thank you, Ashton. Quietly counting down to a new chapter. 🏡✨

Some familiar faces, we only get to see once a month.

Soon, those moments could become part of everyday life. ❤️

From Stalybridge to Ashton, it's just a 7-minute drive, but it's taken our little family years to get here.

📍 14 Nov | Our new Ashton kitchen opens! 🎉

📍 20 Nov | Stalybridge Street Fest 🥟

This November, you won't have to wait until the third Friday.

We'll be waiting for you in Ashton a week earlier. ❤️

🍜🦐 Okay… we might have gone a little overboard with this one! 😂🔥

Yesterday, we made a bowl of seafood laksa at home. The plan was just to test out the broth, but somehow things got a little out of hand! 🤣

Salmon, prawns, crab sticks, fish cakes, tofu, Chinese cabbage and plenty of noodles, all swimming in a rich, creamy, slightly spicy laksa broth. 🥥🌶️

The result? So many toppings we could barely find the noodles! 😂

But after finishing the whole bowl, we had a thought…

With two brand-new OPPA Kitchen locations opening next month in Ashton (14 Nov) and Bury (26 Nov), maybe this seafood laksa deserves a spot on our new menu? 👀🍜

Just imagine a cold British winter day, with a big steaming bowl of seafood laksa in front of you. Proper comfort food to warm you up! ❤️

Now here’s the important question…

If we made this for you, what would you go for?

🦐 Extra seafood
🌶️ Extra spicy
🍜 Extra noodles

Or would you just have all three, like us? 🤣

🥟❤️ Thank you, Bolton.

Some festivals are just events. Others become wonderful memories that stay with us forever.

Yesterday, our little family of three finally finished packing everything away and made it back home to BL2. After three fantastic days at Bolton B**r Festival, we've finally had time to sit down and look through the hundreds of photos we took over the weekend. 🍻📸

This was our very first Bolton B**r Festival, a wonderful community event with over 30 years of history, organised by the local charity Bolton Lads & Girls Club (BLGC).

Wing and Joby were so busy preparing Japanese Gyoza for everyone that they barely had a chance to enjoy the entertainment. But this weekend was extra special for us because we welcomed a new member to the OPPA Kitchen team — Andy! ❤️

It was Andy's first experience working in the food industry and his first b**r festival. Between helping out at our stall, he managed to explore the venue, enjoy the music and soak up the atmosphere. Best of all, he enjoyed the experience so much that he's decided to join OPPA Kitchen and plans to work alongside us at our new Japanese food outlet opening in November! 👨‍🍳🥟

The dance floor was packed, live music filled the venue, and there were smiles and cheers everywhere. Food traders, community groups and local businesses all came together to make it such a lively and memorable weekend. 🎶🍻

💙 A very special thank you to the wonderful volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the three days. Around 70 volunteers generously gave up their own time to help make the festival a success, supporting a fantastic cause for children and young people across Bolton.

**A massive thank you to all the amazing BLGC volunteers — you're the real stars of Bolton B**r Festival!** 💙👏

One of the loveliest parts of the weekend was seeing so many familiar faces returning to our stall. Some customers came back two or even three days in a row for our Gyoza! We also met lots of lovely Bolton locals trying OPPA Kitchen for the very first time. Every smile, conversation and friendly hello made the weekend even more special. 🥟❤️

Looking back through our photos, we've realised just how much was happening around the venue that we missed while working!

Here are a few of our favourite moments from this wonderful weekend. 📸

Thank you to everyone who supported us, the lovely people of Bolton, and all the volunteers, staff and organisers who worked so hard to make this event possible.

The three-day festival may be over, but the wonderful memories will stay with us.

See you next year, Bolton! 🥟❤️🍻

❤️ Thank you, Bolton B**r Festival! Yesterday was such a wonderful day, filled with incredible young boxers, delicious food and a fantastic community spirit! 🍻🥊🍟💙

Our OPPA Kitchen team was delighted to be part of the opening day at Toughsheet Community Stadium. Despite the rain outside, the atmosphere inside was full of excitement, with people enjoying their drinks, cheering on the young boxers and coming together to support a brilliant local charity. 🏟️🍻❤️

🥊 And one of the biggest surprises of the day? The incredible live boxing!

A proper boxing ring had been set up inside the venue, with young boxers stepping into the ring and showing amazing courage, determination and skill. The crowd were cheering them on throughout, creating a fantastic atmosphere! 🥊🔥👏

Even our chef, Fan, couldn't resist watching whenever he had a spare moment between orders. He got so involved that he kept asking everyone on the team who they thought would win! 😂🥊

Bolton B**r Festival has been running for over 30 years and is organised by local charity Bolton Lads & Girls Club (BLGC), raising vital funds to support children and young people across Bolton.

We're genuinely pleased to be involved in an event that brings the community together while supporting such a worthwhile cause. 🍻❤️

🍟 As for the food, we've brought something a little different to this year's festival!

Led by Chef Fan, our kitchen team is serving up freshly cooked, crispy Loaded Fries with a choice of delicious toppings, including our signature Japanese Gyoza! 🍟🥟🔥

Whether you're enjoying a pint with friends, fancy something hot and tasty, or just want to try a different take on Loaded Fries, we've got you covered!

Despite the rather wet weather yesterday, it was lovely meeting so many new faces. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall and supported us. We really appreciate it! ❤️

💙 We also want to give a very special shout-out to the amazing volunteers who make this event possible!

Around 70 volunteers are helping out across the three days, generously giving up their own time to welcome visitors, support the organisers and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. 🙌🍻

We had the pleasure of chatting with some of them yesterday, and their enthusiasm and dedication really stood out.

They're not just helping to run a b**r festival. They're giving their time to make a positive difference to children, young people and families across Bolton.

A massive thank you to all the amazing BLGC volunteers — you're the real stars of Bolton B**r Festival! 💙👏

It's a privilege to be part of an event with such a wonderful community spirit. We hope to meet even more of you over the next two evenings, so please do pop over and say hello whenever you get a chance! 😊❤️

🎉 The good news? There are still TWO MORE NIGHTS to go!

📅 Friday 16 October | 6pm–11pm

📅 Saturday 17 October | 6pm–11pm

📍 Toughsheet Community Stadium, Bolton

If you're heading to Bolton B**r Festival this weekend, come and find OPPA Kitchen, say hello to the team and give Chef Fan's Loaded Fries a try! 🍟🥟

And another big thank you to the BLGC organisers, staff and volunteers for all their hard work. It's wonderful to see food, music, sport and fundraising coming together for such a great local cause. 💙🙌

We're looking forward to seeing more familiar faces and meeting plenty of new ones over the next two nights.

Here's to great food, great b**r, a brilliant atmosphere and supporting the next generation of young people in Bolton! 🍻🍟🥟💙

🌕🍢【This Friday & Saturday, we’re bringing Japanese Oden to Sheffield!】

OPPA Kitchen will be joining OMG Event’s first-ever Moon Fest in Sheffield, taking place at Sumo Fusion Japan. 🌕

Alongside some of our signature favourites, we’ll also be bringing something we’ve been working on for a while — Japanese Oden. 🍢🔥

Oden is going to be an important part of what we do in the future, so this weekend will be one of the first chances to try it before we take it further.

And we want to make it easy for everyone to give it a go — our Oden starts from just £5 per portion. ❤️

There’s also something extra special about this weekend.

10% of our total sales across the two days will be donated to charity in the name of OMG Event × OPPA Kitchen.

So every portion you buy and enjoy this weekend will also be helping to do something good. 🍢❤️

If you’re in Sheffield this Friday or Saturday, come and find us, enjoy the Moon Fest atmosphere and try a hot bowl of Japanese Oden with us. 🌕

📍 Sumo Fusion Japan, Suffolk Road, Sheffield S2 4AG
📅 25–26 September 2026
🏮 Friday Night Market: 5pm–9pm
🌕 Saturday Market: 11am–6pm

Japanese Oden from £5. 🍢
Every portion helps support charity. ❤️

See you in Sheffield! 🌕🔥

🌕🍢【今個星期五六，我哋帶埋關東煮去 Sheffield！】

今次 OPPA Kitchen 會去 OMG Event 首次喺 Sheffield 舉辦嘅 Moon Fest 擺檔，地點係 Sumo Fusion Japan。🌕

除咗會帶我哋嘅招牌美食過去，今次仲會帶埋我哋最近一路準備緊嘅日式關東煮 Japanese Oden。呢條產品線對我哋嚟講幾重要，亦會係我哋未來其中一個重點方向，所以今次某程度上，都算係一次率先登場。🍢🔥

而且今次想大家容易啲試，關東煮最平只需 £5 一份。第一次未食過都可以由最基本嘅一份開始。

更加重要嘅係，今次兩日活動期間，我哋檔口營業額嘅 10%，將會以 OMG Event × OPPA Kitchen 名義捐俾慈善機構。 ❤️

換句話講，你今次每買一份、食一份，其實都係一齊做緊善事。

食一碗熱辣辣關東煮嘅同時，亦將其中一部分變成對其他人嘅幫助。🍢❤️

如果你今個星期五六會喺 Sheffield，歡迎過嚟搵我哋，一齊過一個有氣氛、又有意思嘅 Moon Fest 週末。🌕

📍 Sumo Fusion Japan, Suffolk Road, Sheffield S2 4AG

❤️ Thank you, MediaCity! Yesterday felt like a little piece of paradise. ☀️🥟🌿

It has now been almost two weeks since we officially moved into MediaCity. Somehow, nearly every day during those two weeks has been rainy, cloudy, wet or cold. Yesterday was the only Sunday when we were finally treated to proper sunshine. ☀️

As soon as the sun came out, the whole of GRUB On The Docks completely transformed. The grass and container area filled with people enjoying the sunshine, drinking b**r and eating together. The atmosphere could not have been better. 🍻🍴🎶

With the Manchester derby between United and City also taking place nearby, MediaCity felt noticeably busier than usual. Looking out from our blue container, all we could see was sunshine, green grass, smiling faces and crowds of people. For a moment, it genuinely felt as though coming to work could not get much better than this. 😂❤️

It was not only the three of us who enjoyed such a beautiful day. Everyone working across MediaCity, including the staff and our fellow food traders, seemed to be enjoying it just as much. 🙌

Most importantly, we would like to thank all the local office workers who have supported GRUB On The Docks and OPPA Kitchen over the past two weeks. Even when the weather was far from ideal, so many new faces still came over to try our Japanese pan-fried Gyoza for the first time. Some have already returned for more and are slowly becoming familiar faces at MediaCity. 🥟🔥❤️

Unfortunately, we will be trading at several different locations this week, so our blue container will remain closed for the time being. However, this does not mean that we are preparing to leave MediaCity. In fact, quite the opposite. 🔵

We are actively discussing the next stage with the operators and hope to bring our blue container kitchen onto online delivery platforms. 📱🛵

As autumn and winter approach, MediaCity will naturally experience more rain, strong winds and cold weather. Relying entirely on outdoor dining on the grass will always leave the experience at the mercy of the weather. That is why we are exploring the possibility of making platforms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats a central part of our future operation. 🌧️💨❄️

If the plan moves forward successfully, everyone working in MediaCity or living nearby will be able to order online and enjoy OPPA Kitchen from the comfort of their office or home. 🏢🏠🥟

We will share more news as soon as there is an update.

For now, thank you to the sunshine, thank you to the football, and most of all, thank you to every customer who came to support us. Together, you gave our family the most beautiful and memorable day we have experienced since arriving at MediaCity. ☀️🍻🥟❤️
