A tiny cabin serving dumplings and other Vietnamese delights out of a hatch has been named as one of the best street food eats in the north - and it’s less than an hour’s drive away from Manchester.

Oi Dumplings, run by couple Mollie Power and Maisie Davies, opened last year in the picturesque village of Marsden in Kirklees, West Yorkshire.

Serving Vietnamese-inspired delights, such as ginger chicken loaded wontons, xôi xéo sticky rice, peanut loaded fries, and, of course, plenty of dumplings, the little cabin venue has become a big hit with foodies.

I was quite well set on being a teacher but teaching for four years kind of made me realise that wasn’t really what I wanted to do.” The couple’s decision to move to Marsden during the pandemic
