The Salt & Pepper street food trailer has proved a real hit with customers ever since it opened at a new venue at the North Quay Retail Park in Lowestoft at the end of January.

With queues of people regularly lining up to order fusion cuisine delights, there was a real treat for customers as they waited patiently at the trailer to buy their Chinese-inspired British street food this week.

The lucky customers were given a free bonanza after a kind stranger paid for 20 meals for people.

A post on its Salt + Pepper Facebook page said that "something pretty incredible" happened at the food truck on Wednesday.

It said: "A gentleman came up to the truck, ordered some food, and then quietly asked if he could pay for our entire menu so people could eat for free.

"We thought he meant a couple of meals.

"He paid for enough food for 20 people, including three of our giant munch boxes.

"No wanting attention.

"Just a genuinely kind gesture for the people of Lowestoft."

Blown away by the amazing gesture, staff at the food trailer were then able to see the sheer joy on people's faces when informing them that their meals had been paid for.

They added: "Watching people come up and be told their food had already been paid for was honestly one of the nicest moments we’ve had since opening the truck.

"To the gentleman who did this, thank you.

"You didn’t just buy food… you created smiles, conversations and a moment none of us will forget.

"Lowestoft, you’re a special place."

The extremely popular food stall offers bao buns, rice bowls, noodle bowls, box meals, a unique twist on Asian style gyros, refreshing bubble teas, special sides and tasty sauces.
