A successful gastronomic brand is bringing its street food vans to Westside next week in the first of what is hoped will be a series of pop-up events.
The Digbeth Dining Club will have street food vendor vans at Arena Central between 11am and 3pm on Wednesday 10 April as part of its Digbeth Dining Lunch Club project.
The new initiative will see the acclaimed food, drink and culture brand host a special dining offer on the plaza area by the Fletcher’s Walk entrance, in front of Alpha Tower.
It is aimed at office workers as well as any visitors and residents, and the following street food vendors will be in attendance:
- Disco Fries
- Fat Snags
- Hangry Moose
- Only Jerkin’
- Street Souvlaki, and
- Scran Man.
David Pardoe, who works for Colliers, the managing agents for Arena Central, said: “We are delighted to be working with Digbeth Dining Club on this fantastic new offering for our residents and workers as well as the wider public.
“The Arena Central community continues to go from strength to strength and this latest partnership with one of the region’s best-known food market brands will help to solidify our position as a key destination in the city.”
He added: “If it is successful, we will certainly have more pop-up street food vendors over lunch times at Arena Central in the future.”
The visit to Westside is the first in a 20-date spring and summer 2024 tour organised by Digbeth Dining Club, including locations across the West Midlands.
Jack Brabant, director of Digbeth Dining Club, said: “This is our first foray into weekly lunch markets, so to join forces with Arena Central feels like the perfect location to showcase what we are all about – quality street food.”
Rich Newman, owner of Fat Snags, one of the participating street vendors, said: “We look forward to working with Lunch Club to enrich not only the palates but also the fabric of Brum’s bustling city life.”
Michael Andrew, owner of Street Souvlaki (pictured above), added: “We’re thrilled to be a part of it and look forward to trading alongside some of Digbeth Dining Club’s top street food traders.”
