Today I’ve got a quick-read post for you about a recent visit to Pie and Ale in Manchester. I love Manchester a lot – my best friend lives there and there’s plenty of places to get a good feed in and around the Northern Quarter where he lives. Last Sunday, filled with hungover optimism yet…
After a whirlwind tour of New York City in November, I wanted to show those that have been messaging me some of the highlights. We packed in a lot between a very cold Thursday and a weirdly warm Sunday last month. The trip was for my husband’s 40th birthday, so he got the most say…
Last weekend I spent a glorious 24 hours at Hatherley Manor Hotel and Spa in the Gloucestershire countryside. My lovely mum, Deborah – who enjoys a spa break and glass of plonk almost as much as me – kindly booked the overnight break for us as a belated birthday present. Having just moved house I…
Last weekend I headed to Worcester for my friend Emma’s birthday, making a refuel stop at Burger Shop after an afternoon of gin. Found under an old railway arch, Burger Shop has recently enjoyed award success, winning Best Casual Dining restaurant at the Midland Food, Drink and Hospitality Awards in June. Accolades are good but…
There are some experiences that stay with you for a lifetime. Getting married in Las Vegas was certainly pretty epic, but I can now add a weekend of fun and food in Rome to this list. Rome has been on my ‘travelling to-do list’ for a very long time. For various reasons it’s taken me…
If there’s one thing in life I love, it’s a weekend getaway with great friends and good food. With one of my close girlfriends due to bring a ‘mini me’ into the world come the summer, it seemed only right to whisk her away for an overnight pampering treat. After researching into West Midlands-based rural…
This weekend I headed to London for a fabulous birthday brunch at Tanner & Co in Bermondsey. Located in South London, a stone’s throw from everyone’s favourite phalic building, The Shard, and London Bridge, Tanner & Co is a gorgeous bar and restaurant. They offer breakfast and brunch, but this visit is all about the…
Being honest, I don’t really post much about the world outside of Birmingham (this blog is called Bite Your Brum after all) but I’ve just had such a mega weekend in Krakow that I wanted to share a bit about the foodie side of the trip. Being that so many of you gave me must…
I recently visited Quaglino’s in Mayfair during a work trip to the capital. I’m not particularly familiar with this area of London (I don’t think a fleeting visit via a Monopoly board counts) but I was excited to have dinner in the private dining room here. Despite being a Monday night in January the restaurant was busy,…
I’ve just spent a lazy, long weekend in the deepest depths of the Devonshire countryside. My lovely friend, Bethan, sorted us out with a gorgeous big house (with an indoor pool no less) to use, and we spent the vast majority of the 3 days napping, eating fattening treats and quaffing copious amounts of Malbec….
Vegas wedding broken woman coming through Well hello there! As you can imagine the last few weeks have been a bit of a blur for me, but I’m pleased to say our wedding in Las Vegas went swimmingly (probably thanks to the endless supply of frozen margaritas) and I’m now officially a wife. Madness. We…
As anyone who regularly reads my blog will know, I’m getting married this month. In fact, if you’re reading this at the time it’s been scheduled to appear (WordPress gods willing of course) I am actually drinking gin somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean right about now. YEAH, BABY! While I’m in Las Vegas getting hitched…
