Following the huge success of his 4-month residency in Hockley, Dan Lee has announced he will be a permanent street food vendor at Hockley Social Club from 5 October, launching his new venture Dai Pai Dong.

The term 'dai pai dong' originates from Hong Kong and is used to describe a type of open-air food stall.

Described by Michelin-star celebrity chef Marcus Wareing as "a star in the making", Dan’s menu will showcase brand-new dishes such as BBQ Szechuan Lamb Flatbread, Soy Steamed Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Lap Cheong, Brownie with Milk Miso Caramel and Homemade Ice Cream, Salt and Chilli Chicken Wings, and more South East Asian-inspired dishes. This new menu will be available from Thursday, 5th of October.

Since winning MasterChef, Dan returned home and has spent the last year delving into Birmingham’s culinary scene. He has collaborated with some of the city's culinary stars, including Stuart Deeley, another MasterChef winner, and Eat Vietnam, a Vietnamese street food concept.

Dan said: “These past four months at Hockley Social Club have been incredibly exciting. I’ve felt such a close connection to our guests and built a strong bond with the team. Sharing my initial Asian-inspired dishes has been a dream, and the team and I can’t wait to serve up our new Dai Pai Dong menu.”
