Review | Gas Street Social, Mailbox

Posted on September 6, 2020September 14, 2020 by Laura

Gas Street Social is back open in Mailbox, serving up tasty brunches and lovely service. The story of how I came to know this is mildly ridiculous. In the typical haphazard fashion you’ve all come to know and love (she assumes) over the last few years, the reason for my visit was being a bit…

Swish city centre restaurant Opus is offering a great deal for lobster fans. On Fridays and Saturdays during August guests can enjoy a two course lobster lunch for just £27.50. If you can go on a Tuesday it’s just £17.50 – yes, really. I took myself to Opus this week for some self care (BYB…

Review | Ngopi, Dale End (City Centre)

Posted on August 17, 2020August 17, 2020 by Laura

I think we may have a new contender for best lunch under £10 in Birmingham city centre thanks to Ngopi. If you’ve not visited this cafe you won’t be alone – it’s hidden away down a street on the (let’s say…) rougher end of town and is often overlooked. But that’s a big mistake, because…

How to support your independent restaurants, cafes and bars after lockdown

Posted on July 1, 2020July 8, 2020 by Laura

I’ve not written a blog post since March. It didn’t feel right, relevant or particularly useful to anyone, including myself. So hello, welcome back (sort of) and I hope those of you reading this are healthy and doing ok. It’s been a wild ride, hasn’t it? I’m not going to write a barrage of trite…

Best places for vegan food in Birmingham (picked by actual vegans)

Posted on March 14, 2020March 14, 2020 by Laura

I’m increasingly asked about vegan food in Birmingham, but it may have come to your attention that I, Laura McEwan, am not a vegan. I’m pretty far from being a vegan because 75% of my diet is cheese and I keep the city’s burger joints in business. But I like veggie food and I often…

‘Birmingham’s smallest coffee shop’ opens in The Oasis markets

Posted on February 21, 2020March 5, 2020 by Laura

Birmingham’s ‘smallest coffee shop’ has opened in (everyone’s favourite emo dungeon) The Oasis markets. The Coffee Bar is located on the top floor (which weirdly is actually street level) of the markets, and is an independent start up. Head past the Nirvana tshirts and suspicious looking pipes and you’ll find the bar at the back….

Review | The Edwardian Tearooms, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery

Posted on February 15, 2020February 15, 2020 by Laura

There’s a lot to like about The Edwardian Tearooms at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Most notably the button that summons the champagne fairy. Often overlooked, this cafe is mainly used by museum visitors but there’s plenty to draw non-visitors to the beautiful space hidden beyond the gift shop and all its loot. Located on…

Solihull welcomes new cafe Vita to Mell Square

Posted on February 11, 2020February 12, 2020 by Laura

Solihull has welcomed a new cafe called Vita to Mell Square. Taking over the space once occupied by Costa, Vita is a proving a welcome independent addition to an area that is often accused of being chain-heavy. Serving coffee, cake and desserts, this place will even pour you a fizz if your heart desires. All…

Wonder Woman 1984 is two and half hours long and so far the only things I’ve really enjoyed about it are Kristen Wiig’s studded leather jacket and the fact that Adam Klaus from Jonathan Creek has a bit part. The plot is moronic, the script is crap, and it’s dull. Total garbage.

Imagine assuming you can buy a woman’s Instagram account simply because you’re a man and you want it for yourself. Astounding.

Weather report: sunny but absolutely pissing freezing. Floor is a death trap. Wish I hadn’t bothered. But look how pretty she is.
