Our Story
From muddy fields to packed city food markets, and now food halls we call home.
Great food • Fast service • Memorable experiences
Same spirit, all year round
Whether we're serving customers at a muddy field in the middle of summer, a packed city-centre food market, or one of our food halls, our goal is always the same: great food, fast service and memorable experiences.
Thousands of dumplings, hundreds of working hours, tens of tasting parties later, and a flight halfway around the world: Big Mouth Gyoza was born.
After a year on the festival circuit, selling out event after event, at the start of 2020 Big Mouth Gyoza was locked down. With thousands of handmade Gyoza in the freezer, there was only one thing I could do: deliver the dumplings to your doors.
15,000 miles in the van, 4,000 households and 4 full-time staff later, I paused our delivery offering to focus on the 2021 festival season.
Fast forward and it's somehow 2026. Big Mouth Gyoza has two permanent food hall locations, 11 staff and some of the biggest festivals in the UK in our events calendar!
Where it started
Born on the festival circuit
From muddy fields to packed city food markets, Big Mouth Gyoza has become a familiar name on the UK festival circuit. What started as a passion for serving handcrafted Japanese-inspired street food has grown into a festival operation appearing at some of the country's biggest and most iconic events.
Festivals are at the heart of what we do. From first-time visitors discovering Gyoza for the very first time, to loyal customers who seek us out at every event, we're proud to have become part of the UK's vibrant festival community.
On the road
Our festival roster includes major UK music festivals such as Glastonbury, Download Festival, Leeds Festival, Slam Dunk, Bloodstock, Y Not Festival and many more, serving thousands of hungry festival-goers with our signature Gyoza.
Beyond the music scene, we're also a regular feature at leading food festivals and events, including Peddler Market and North Leeds Food Festival.

Putting down roots
Whilst food festivals are where our story began, our food halls are where we get to share Big Mouth Gyoza every day. Following years of serving crowds in the fields and streets, we've put down roots at The Produce Hall, Stockport and Bustler Market, Nottingham.
The food
Alongside our signature handmade Gyoza, Gyoza Loaded Fries and Gyoza Rice Boxes, our restaurants' menu has grown to include Katsu Curries, Sharing Platters, Tempura Prawns, Edamame, Yorkie Pud Bombs, Gyoza Udon and more.
Every dish reflects what we're known for: quality ingredients, bold flavours and a unique blend of Japanese-inspired street food and British creativity.
