Brum Yum Yum Launch
The embargo is lifted, I'm finally allowed to tell you about the other street food collective. First rumoured sometime last year, last Saturday was the official launch of Brum Yum Yum. BYY will be held for the first time on 13 April, 12-6pm in Kings Heath, outside the...
The Venison Toasted Sandwich
Selling out might be a right pain for the consumer, but for us it is a triumph. Especially when the toastie that sells out is the most expensive one on the board, and especially when people see it, stare at it, and then come tell you they simply couldn't resist it....
Review of Birmingham Street Food Customers
This is a complicated post to write. On the one hand, I have embarked on this idea that I can review customers. On the other, I want to one day be able to make a living out of street food. Possibly not a great idea, but perhaps the two are beautifully compatible and...
The Digbeth Dining Comeback
This Friday we will be heading back to Digbeth Dining Club, first of the New Year, finest street food in Birmingham and all round happy place. But. Last week I was hopeful, and panic-buying teapots more to calm the nerves than because I actually believed the Beast...

There are more important things than having a 100% mobile van. The Beast still doesn't technically work, but he is now booked in with a specialist who is confident he can perform the required procedure. The surgery needed is a new engine. Doggedly clinging to...
Maintaining a Positive Balance Despite Setbacks
There are times when gazebos look terribly tempting and versatile. You have probably never looked at a gazebo in envy. I have moments of sincere, heartfelt hatred for gazebos, and while this is not quite one of them yet, I feel like we might be working up to it....
Taking Pictures Of Street Food
As observed from inside the hatch. We have all probably got one of those friends on Facebook who has Instagram, the accepted way to take pictures of all types food. In certain parts of society it is now the only permissible way to communicate lunch choices. It is...
Owning A Characterful Food Van In Subzero Temperatures
The Beast is causing trouble at the moment. Having managed an entire season with no major disasters he has proven his worth, and is now seeing how far he can push his luck. I will add that much of this is not his fault, but in the interests of fairness it is only...
