Wolverhampton's food Blew me away 🤯

Wolverhampton might not shout the loudest, but it’s got one of the best food scenes in the UK, from viral wagyu pastrami sandwiches, Midlands chip shop classics and desi-pub royalty.

In this episode, I hit the streets of Wolverhampton to uncover the best food spots in the city. First stop, Malik’s Butchers, a family-run halal butchers that blew up on TikTok for their unbelievable wagyu pastrami sandwich, dubbed “the most expensive sandwich in the country.” The Maliks are larger than life, and their story is a proper British success. Passion, graft and community spirit all rolled into one.

Then I dive into a Midlands classic, orange battered chips at Ocean Fryer, a golden local delicacy you won’t find anywhere else. From there, I wander through the Wulfrun Centre, chatting about how the government’s neglect has left high streets like Wolves struggling, but also how local pride still burns strong.

Finally, I wrap up at The Desi Yew Tree, one of the Midlands’ best desi pubs, to meet the owners and talk about Wolverhampton’s food, culture, and resilience.

This isn’t just a food vlog. It’s a love letter to the Black Country, its flavours, and its people.
