He said: "All of us are very excited to be working with Digbeth Dining Club on the event this Friday, April 21 in Cathedral Square and we hope it brings increased footfall in our great city centre.

"We hope that this event benefits the businesses in the area and provides enjoyment for food lovers in Worcester."

Digbeth Dining Club was founded in 2012 and aims to provide a platform for street food traders to cook quality, locally-sourced food in the Midlands.

The club has proved popular and attracted thousands of people to its events, originally in Digbeth, and later in pop-up venues across the Midlands.
