Jon Labella

Meet Jon, the Don, the boss, the culinary maestro behind 'The Street Diner'!

The Street Diner's original gourmet guru. His is a tale of passion, perseverance, burgers and pizza! From learning to flip pizza at his Grandad's restaurant, Jon's culinary journey has been incredible.

With determination, innovative flair, and a sprinkle of patience, Jon transformed his vision from a humble dream in a small garage to a fleet of mobile kitchens that makes The Street Diner one of the UK's leading street food vendors.

Lauren

The Geordie gem at The Street Diner, with a coffee in one hand and Northern charm in the other. As our manager and barista extraordinaire, she is Newcastle's caffeine queen, known for offering both smiles and espressos. Apparently she can froth milk with her eyes closed while telling you stories aboot the Toon.

Tom

Tom's culinary journey was forever altered by a Cuban toastie encounter in Hull—an experience so profound, it could only be likened to a religious awakening, but with more cheese and pickles. This divine toastie not only shaped his palate but also set him on a quest to recreate that moment of perfection between two slices of bread for the masses.

Baz

Baz is an absolute genius. C’mon, have you seen our fleet? He designs and builds those things! When we say “right, we want to make a truck into a giant fish”, he just nods and go “yeah, sure. I can do that.” (definitely not fake n​ews, wink, wink). 

An absolute legend.
