You’re in luck, because we just updated our list of 33 food trucks roaming through the Midlands – to ensure you’re eating the best on-the-go food around.
Follow their social media pages (where they typically post their whereabouts) to find each truck’s weekly schedule. We love a good scavenger hunt for lunch.
Pro tip: Be careful reading this on an empty stomach.
