Digbeth Dining Club brings street food to Coventry Cathedral ruins

Coventry Cathedral ruins host Digbeth Dining Club food festival on hottest day of the year so far



The Digbeth Dining Club came to Coventry with an outdoor food festival in the Coventry Cathedral ruins.

As temperatures soared to 25C or 77F visitors enjoyed a range of exotic treats.

Lee Desanges of Baked in Brick from Sutton Coldfield was offering visitors barbecued tandoori chicken cooked in a converted Mini.

In place of the engine was a barbecue for roasting chicken, and where the passengers would normally sit was an oven for cooking flatbread.

Indian style fish and chips were another unusual meal on offer along with Sri Lanka food and Caribbean fish dishes.

The warmest temperatures of the year so far ensured the ice cream stall was doing a roaring trade.

The Digbeth Dining Club is a Birmingham based street food and live entertainment venture started in 2012. Traders cook food while customers wait.

Why not open a McDonald's while they're at it, along with Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut?

Now our old Cathedral grounds has become a cheap food out let.

This was the scene on May 8th 1945, I wonder how those paying their respects to their deceased loved ones back then feel about how it's being used now?

Exactly Dutchman any respect has now gone.

Seems our council would sell their soles to the devil allowing this. I notice its a Birmingham business at that is this the begining of being taken over and plans being tested.

I'm not religious, but must admit to finding this more than a little distasteful.

Neither am I religious Rebbonk whats so ever but there must be a god as your ginger gnome is leaving not even if she is asked to stay according to the news

Ah bless. I suppose she'll now find something else to poke her nose into?

you got done then yes cheap I ve worked in fish and chip shop also cooked chicken currys .

Its a good job for people like you we Coventarians have not got over our past rebuilding this city with great determination after the war least you would nt have the benefifits you ve had today to attract you hear which the Coventry people worked so hard to make those benefits happen.

Disrespectful? In what way? It's an empty ruin. It's far better it gets put to use than just sit there empty.

I thought that was the whole point of leaving it a ruin, otherwise they may as well have rebuilt it or knocked it down completely.
