It’s Valentine’s Day and there’s love in the air, the first whisper of spring on the breeze and finally some light at the end of the lockdown tunnel. While you might not be able to jump behind the wheel and head off into the wide blue yonder just yet, these five British road trips will fire the imagination.
Birmingham-based chef Andrew Sheridan is to launch a street food van that will serve French bistro dishes as well as putting on a number of collaborations with other well-known chefs.
Due to start trading at the end of the month, Artisan Street Kitchen will feature chefs including Glynn Purnell (Purnell’s), Gareth Ward (Ynyshir) and Aktar Islam (Opheem) for special nights in February and March.
Artisan Street Kitchen will tour Birmingham covering areas including Blackwell, Barston and Bromsgrove but the chef collaborations will see the van park up in Birmingham city centre.
Sheridan’s own a la carte menu includes French onion soup; ham and cheese croquettes; croque monsieur; deep-fried dauphinoise; and French toast with banana and caramel sauce.
