The casual dining phenomenon has launched summer events across the Midlands - even at top national visitor attractions.

The events will be taking place across Birmingham, the Black Country, Shropshire and Staffordshire.

The Digbeth Dining Club (DDC) touring event will call at regional landmarks, including the Black Country Living Museum, Attingham Park, Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens, Highbury Hall, and Warwick Castle, between late April and mid-September.

This year’s programme will feature the return of popular street food traders including Amore, Buddha Belly, Disco Fries, Fat Snags, Flying Cows, Patty Freaks, Urban Cheesecake, and West Midlands Jerk Centre.

New DDC roster additions Smokey Joe’s and Absolute Melt will also join the rotating line-up of businesses serving up culinary creations on selected tour dates.

The summer tour will kick off at the top national visitor attraction Black Country Living Museum on Friday 24 April. Doors open at 6:30pm and tickets are available from £8.

The event will boast an 11-strong trader line-up, DJs, craft beer, fizz and cocktail bars.

Jack Brabant, DDC director, said, “We’ve really pushed the reach of the tour this year, to visit more areas across the Midlands than ever before, from Birmingham and the Black Country through to Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Shrewsbury.
