The food stall is run by Aissa Toure from Monday to Wednesday every week. Aissa was told to stop trading on 22nd May because of new health and safety issues. The stall is popular with societies like @onbeatzine, @leedsacs and @luublackfemsoc 
Aissa, friends, and family as well as many students resisted the decision and protested, arguing it was unlawful.
