Digbeth Dining Club
From ~£8 per dish
Indicative price at the time of review.
Digbeth Dining Club helped write the playbook for UK street food and remains the Midlands' essential destination for it. Rather than a fixed hall, it curates a rotating roster of independent traders, with recent names including South Birmingham Curry Club, Beef on the Block and Only Jerkin, paired with bars, DJs and a lively crowd. Multiple British Street Food Award wins underline its pedigree. It now runs sessions across several sites in and around Birmingham, so it pays to check both who is trading and where before you set off, but that constant refresh is exactly what keeps regulars coming back. It leans far more towards an evening out than a quiet daytime bite, with dishes typically starting around £8-£10.
