Norwich food van Destiny's Dough selling huge 1.6ft hotdog

That's the question we asked one of our team after learning a city centre food van claimed it sells the largest hotdog in Norfolk.

Destiny's Dough, owned by couple Gareth Dunthorne and Holly Sharman, is located under the flyover in Magdalen Street.

The company's latest crown jewel of its menu is a 1.6ft long hotdog called the 'Big Bad Boys Hotdog'.

Gareth, who previously owned Destiny's Doughnuts, said: "We've been up and running here since last January and introduced the hot dog just last week.

"It's already popular here - people love it and we get our regulars like traders coming back and some of the shops too.

"People don't have a lot of money to spend at the moment, so for a fiver this can be easily shared and fill you up.

"The produce is from Fiddy's Butchers and the rolls are freshly baked from the Crusty Corner Bakery - we wanted to do quality food at a cheap price.

"No one in Norwich or Norfolk does a larger hotdog."

As well as the giant hotdog, Destiny's Dough also sells 6oz to 12oz cheeseburgers as well as bacon baps with egg and/or mushrooms.

The money made from the van, named after the couple's three-year-old daughter Destiny, is to help her enjoy a better life.

"I do it all for my little girl," added Gareth.

"We've never really had much money so me and Holly work hard to try and treat her to a holiday or some toys.

"I've also got a tip jar which goes towards helping us afford some more luxury things for her."

And the verdict from this reporter - who went with cheese, mustard and ketchup toppings yet still finished the whole thing in one sitting - was that the meat beast was cracking value for just £5.
