A hot dog street food vendor is hoping to expand and open a café after selling out at events.

The Wild Dogs was started by Norwich couple Kristina Sproge and Jamie Gricks at the start of 2023.

The pair serve hot dogs topped with a variety of ingredients including bacon lardons, cheese and apple sauce.

"It's going so much better than we were expecting," Miss Sproge said. "We're so surprised by the response.

"We keep selling out a lot at our pop-ups and having to close early.

"People will come back for seconds and thirds and they say we're more affordable.

"The feedback is so good - we're hoping in the future to expand or open a permanent shop.

"We enjoy this so much and we work well together so it would be great to go full-time, work for ourselves and keep adapting."

Menu options include the Crispy Bite with bacon lardons and cheese sauce and the Fruity Woof Woof with pork and apple sausage, bacon and apple sauce.

All the hot dogs are made using sausages from the couple's local butcher and are cooked in an air fryer to make them a healthier option.

Miss Sproge added: "We've introduced a vegan dog and a spicy dog, which is really popular.

"It's become our biggest seller, maybe because it's a bit different.

"And we have a great breakfast menu that we'd love to bring out for more events."
