Baked in Brick in a younger company, at only 6 years in business. However, they have done quite a lot with their time. Winning the British street food award as well as the European street food award, it’s safe to say that it doesn’t always take time to perfect a recipe. Baked in Brick got it right the first time.
It began by transforming a classic Mini by adding a hand-built pizza oven to the back as well as a BBQ under the bonnet. Overnight, the classically trained founder of Baked Brick, Lee created a show-stopping street food spot in Birmingham that has become a fan favourite.
