A weekend of street food highlights

Posted on February 25, 2018February 25, 2018 by Laura

I spent most of last weekend eating street food and drinking beer. It was, as you’d imagine, rather glorious. The two day binge eating fest started out innocently enough; grab a burger before a trip to the cinema. Lovely. Of course, being that I can’t be trusted and Ian’s easily led, this quickly escalated into…

Disappointing menu changes @ Bodega

Posted on February 22, 2018February 22, 2018 by Laura

Bodega has changed its menu, and I’m not a fan. Yup, you heard me. My love affair with Bodega has come to an end. A crashing, disappointing end. As anyone who regularly reads this blog will know, I’ve been a long standing fan of this Bitters n Twisted venue. I’ve championed it and defended it…

Beautiful breakfasts @ Kanteen, The Custard Factory Digbeth

Posted on February 21, 2018April 4, 2018 by Laura

I first discovered the breakfast joys of Kanteen at The Custard Factory Digbeth in September last year. Since my first visit I’ve been back around 174805 times for food, coffee and co-working mornings. It’s an ideal brunch and breakfast spot in Digbeth if you’re looking for a relaxed environment to work or socialise, with plenty…

Classic cocktails @ Tom’s Kitchen, Mailbox

Posted on February 10, 2018February 27, 2018 by Laura

January is depressing enough without removing any more joy from it by going dry, so when I heard “cocktails at Tom’s Kitchen” I was happy to oblige. Situated next to Harvey Nichols, Tom’s Kitchen is an open plan restaurant with leather seating and low warm lighting for an upmarket yet intimate feel. There’s also a…

Best bottomless brunches in Birmingham

Posted on February 3, 2018April 8, 2018 by Laura

It’s the weekend again and time to let your hair down/drink away your woes. Nothing says ‘living the adulting dream’ quite like taking yourself off to get mildly (totally) hammered with friends on a Saturday or Sunday, and thankfully there’s a host of places across Birmingham city centre now offering bottomless brunch. Unsurprisingly I’ve been…

9 places for sweet treats and cake in Birmingham

Posted on January 29, 2018March 21, 2018 by Laura

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…

Alternative date nights in Birmingham

Posted on January 25, 2018March 21, 2018 by Laura

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…

Food trends that should stay in 2017

Posted on December 29, 2017April 12, 2018 by Laura

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…

Christmas gift inspiration for food lovers in Birmingham

Posted on December 15, 2017April 12, 2018 by Laura

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…
