Last week was a busy one. As well as celebrating 7 years since I stuck my claws into Ian, I had plenty on the work and social calendars too. From a super swish cheese and wine dinner to an anniversary noodle fix, here’s six of the highlights from my eating escapades around the city centre […]
Way back in March I attended a blogger event to mark the launch of Wayland’s Yard on Bull Street. It’s been six month since the second Wayland’s Yard opened up (the flagship branch is in Worcester) in the heart of the business district and it’s managed to wangle its way firmly into my heart. I […]
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I spent last weekend in Manchester celebrating Pride. If you don’t follow me on Instagram you’re one of the lucky ones.. believe me. While I had a lovely time (I’m fat, exhausted and still finding glitter everywhere) I struggled to get back into the whole cooking for […]
Moving house is absolutely awful. Like, I know people moan about it and it’s stressful for everyone, but good god it’s woeful. Packing and boxes everywhere, bruises that make no sense, anxiety about bills/keys/deposits… the list of fun is long. Despite a cock up with the removal men (or rather singular man) that made me […]
This week saw me try and make some healthier choices – I failed spectacularly. Whistle for a fatty, etc. It was all going quite well until the weekend when, due to a birthday and a food festival, I ate enough bread, meat and cheese to make Henry the VIII bow down before my ever expanding […]
Let’s kick this off in the same rational way I approach most things in life: I’m a firm believer that if you don’t like pizza there must be something seriously wrong with you. I’m not kidding. If carbs and cheese can’t make you happy then we have nothing in common. Pizza is great to eat […]
Football might not have come home this year (I still love you Gareth) but Birmingham Cocktail Weekend did, bringing with it some excellent drinks and both new and old venues across our glorious city involved. Taking place over the (very sunny weekend of) 13-15th July, 40 bars and restaurants took part, including venues around The […]
Last week ended up being super busy, so I thought I’d put together some of my food and drink highlights. I started the week with a quick mooch around the newly opened Baked in Brick, which of course included a spot of lunch. The full pizza menu doesn’t run during the day so I opted […]
It’s been a while coming, but The Clean Kilo is finally open for business at The Custard Factory in Digbeth. If you follow me on Twitter you may be aware that I’ve been championing this fabulous concept for some time. Opened thanks to a very successful crowdfunding campaign, The Clean Kilo is the city’s first […]
I recently found myself moseying along the canals in between meetings, hungry and with an hour to kill. Jumping off the towpath around Gas Street, I spotted the familiar white washed walls of The Pickled Piglet. It’s somewhere I’ve trundled past many times with good intentions of visiting, but until one recent overcast afternoon I’d […]
I discovered yesterday that we’re in the midst of British Sandwich Week. All hail the carby wonder. I only realised this was a ‘thing’ after watching Marmite, Hellmann’s and Pot Noodle have a scrap on Twitter. That’s not a sentence I expected to write myself, to be honest, but here we are. My timeline became […]
Shout out to all the people who couldn’t care less about the royal wedding or ‘Markle’s Sparkle.’ I’m with you. The wedding of Harry and Meghan isn’t something I’m interested in (not least because it’s made my job in health/beauty PR absolutely impossible this week) and I have no intention of sitting at home or […]
This week Cafe 1368 officially opened in Digbeth, as a revamped version of the cafe that was previously sat next door to The Old Crown. Offering up breakfast, brunch, lunch and all the other meals that occur before mid afternoon, this new incarnation of the cafe space is a lovely new addition to the Digbeth […]
