BrewDog Birmingham gets a makeover Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last two years you’ll probably be more than familiar with BrewDog Birmingham. Settled in the heart of John Bright Street – now one of my personal favourite areas for a tipple and a casual bite to eat – BrewDog is of course…
The Stable Birmingham is a great space for a low key meal I remember when The Stable Birmingham opened in late 2015 – mainly because it marked the first time since my teens that I’d actively enjoyed a pint of cider. Like many high school reprobates, cider was one of the first tipples I ever…
I’m not going to lie, after a busy working week I was beyond looking forward to my visit to the spa and bistro at Hotel du Vin this weekend. Like most thirty-something gals, I now much prefer a relaxing few hours of me time and a bite to eat than I do a boozy outing…
Last week I had a lunch in the park that could only be described as life changing: Habaneros. Last week I finally paid a visit to Habaneros on Temple Row, and I honestly left with a new favourite Mexican spot for lunch. Rather than a sit down restaurant or cafe, Habaneros is a mobile street…
As those of you who live or work in Birmingham all know, on Friday the weather was absolutely beautiful. From the moment I woke up at 7am the sun was shining and Birmingham, once again, managed to look like one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. I decided to get outside and enjoy…
Cafe Rouge Bull Ring Recently I had a meal at Cafe Rouge Bull Ring that was surprisingly good. I will usually choose an indepedent restaurant or cafe over a chain but last week, after attending an emotion minute silence in town due to the horrible events in Manchester, I found myself looking for something quick…
Bella Italia New Street In the middle of the week I found myself in town running a few errands before a meeting; having just 45 minutes spare we decided on Bella Italia New Street. This is part of the wider chain of Italian inspired restaurants and is somewhere I used to eat in a lot…
Happy Birthday Pirlos Dessert Lounge This week saw pudding master Pirlos Dessert Lounge celebrate its first birthday, and I was lucky enough to be invited by the kind folk at Delicious PR to the blogger birthday bash at the popular Digbeth restaurant. This unique establishment is designed to seriously indulge sugar fiends and has an…
Why I love Fazeley Social in Digbeth Located about 5 minutes walk from the Custard Factory and 10 minutes from Moor St Station, Fazeley Social is part of the Fazeley Studios creative hub. The small Floodgate Street entrance could be easy to miss but once inside the food smells hit you and you realise you’ve…
Hello Pieminster! Friday wasn’t really my finest hour, by Pieminister came to my rescue. After spending the previous night at Bourne & Co sampling cocktails (so.many.cocktails) I awoke on Friday morning feeling anything less than peachy. Despite having a full day of work ahead of me I was in vaguely good spirits, mainly because of…
Do you rate Coast To Coast? Have you tried Coast To Coast for breakfast? Give me a B.. give me an R.. give me an E.. okay, okay I can guess you see where this is going. BREAKFAST! As anyone who is read my blog before will know, I am quite the breakfast fiend and…
Discovering Bourne and Co I’m sure there many women out there that don’t like fancy cocktails, but I sure as hell haven’t met any of them in my 32 years so I wanted to try Bourne and Co out ASAP. Whatever your tipple of choice, there’s something quite special about the art of mixology, and…
Gaucho Birmingham is lovely, I can tell you. There are very few things in life I love more than steak and red wine (sorry Ian) so I was beyond excited to be invited to attend the Beef and Malbec Masterclass at Gaucho Birmingham this week. An exclusive event for press and foodie bloggers, the intimate…
*moors up in Gas Street basin in makeshift arc* Grim out isn’t it! You wouldn’t know if you looked outside (any) window in Birmingham today, but it is actually spring. Yes, it’s magical isn’t it… *ahem* Despite the depressing grey skies and relentless rain, looking back through my recent blogs I’ve been reminded of a…
