Digbeth is a part of Birmingham that people seem to either love or hate. Over the years I’ve worked in and around the area so have come to know and love a few local spots for food. Below you will find some of my favourite places in Digbeth to grab a bite to eat, all […]
I personally don’t ever need a reason for cake, and I’m always on the look out for places I can grab a sweet treat on the way to and from meetings. If you’re a fan of an afternoon pick-me-up at your desk come 4pm, but want something more interesting than an overpriced KitKat from the […]
Today I’m chuntering about alternative date nights in Birmingham. Whether you’ve been together since school or you’re swiping your way through the dating gene pool to find ‘the one,’ date nights are something most of us enjoy. I love a date night, mainly because they inevitably involve food, but I think there’s more to them […]
This weekend Bite Your Brum featured in a BBC Radio 5 Live programme on sexual harassment in the hospitality industry. Talking to investigative journalist Adrian Goldberg, myself and three other food bloggers discussed our experiences of inappropriate and unwanted attention while working within the industry. The hour long show featured new research, union advice and […]

When the popular Birmingham street food destination reopens at Spotlight towards the end of January, you’ll now find your favourite vendors (plus some new ones) trading from Thursday through to Saturday. Remaining at […]
Hands up who overspent at Christmas and is now far from flush this month.. yup, I hear you. January is notoriously crappy for most people and a slow one for restaurants and bars, but to combat this many places across the city centre are offering substantial discounts and deals this month. You get a cheaper […]
As 2018 approaches and we all start banging on about ‘out with the old, in with the new’, I thought I’d discuss some of the food trends that have been in the news this year. But of course, in my usual ranty, pessimistic style, it’s the rubbish ones I’ll be talking about. You know the […]
I’ve finally started my Christmas shopping. It was a stressful 90 minutes spent trying not to lose my rag behind slow walkers in town, and frankly I’ll be doing the rest of my shopping online now. But, on my travels in search of goodies for my parents (I’m making food/drink hampers for my family this […]
I’m a proud member of the #BrumBloggers clan and loved the little pre-Christmas meet up we had last week. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston was the setting for a lovely festive spectacle, with plenty of mulled wine and sausages (waheyy) to keep us warm. I met up with George and Fay, plus the lovely […]
Just a quick post having had such awesome feedback about our wedding cake. The West Country Cheese Co isn’t based on Birmingham (sadly) but can be found online. As anyone that has ever spent more than thirty minutes in my company can testify, I love food. More specifically I love cheese. I don’t discriminate, I […]
If you’re interested in trying ‘Meat Free Mondays’ in Birmingham I have some great ideas for you. Let’s get one thing straight from the get go: it’s absolutely no secret that I have a deep love affair with burgers and bacon. Meat is something I would not forgo indefinitely without a fight, but sometimes it’s […]
Did you ever hear about the girl that was bullied into dressing as Dobby – full makeup, the works – for her hen do? Of course you did, because it was me, and I’m not exactly known for keeping quiet. Despite still having the occasional nightmare about being paraded around Brighton in a potato sack […]
It will come as little surprise to literally anyone that knows me I attended Cheese Fest Birmingham last week. The two day festival of fromage took place at The Custard Factory in Digbeth, and offered cheese fans the opportunity to.. well, eat a shit load of cheese, basically. I joined my foodie pal Fay on […]
