Reviews, Recipes & Ramblings
I vividly remember the day I booked a table at Purnell’s Bistro. It was the same day grown adults yelled at each other across the internet over a vegan sausage roll. Thankfully, by the time our dinner at this city centre bistro came around the gammons on Twitter had gone back to arguing about gender…
Birmingham Beer Week is set to return this summer for a week of celebrating Brum’s beer scene. With a rich brewing history that is evolving into a forward thinking craft beer haven, Birmingham Beer Week will bring together some the city’s best breweries, pubs, bars, bottle shops and restaurants. Birmingham Beer Week runs from 19th…
Four adults, a baby and an overexcited spaniel walk into a pub… The Old Crown in Digbeth, to be precise. After a busy few weeks the plan was simple: a quiet Sunday lunch in a cosy pub. The beauty of having a small human in your squad is that you have to pre-plan, to some…
If you like coffee and independent cafes I have the giveaway for you. You know I love me a discount card, and this week I’ve got three Independent Coffee Club cards to giveaway – it couldn’t be easier to get involved. TWITTER: Head over to my Twitter page and simply FOLLOW Bite Your Brum and…
If you’re a fan of half-arsed bar food that has as much personality as the cheap tin trays it comes in, you’ll love Walkabout on Broad Street. I didn’t go to this bar with high hopes (in fact I had extremely low expectations considering it was a decision based on limited New Year’s Day choices…
The start of 2019 delivered us fans of street food some excellent news: Digbeth Dining Club will now be open on Sundays. A year on from the glorious revelation that the popular Digbeth food haunt would open Thursdays (remember this?) the guys behind DDC kickstarted 2019 by spreading the Sunday news over social media. I’m…
It’s January. We’re all a bit fat and poor. But all is not lost.. These Birmingham restaurants and bars are offering some discounts to ensure you’re fed but not penniless. I’ve left out the usual suspects and included as many independents and small chains as possible – don’t forget it’s a notoriously hard month for…
As well as eating my own body weight in cheese and turkey over the festive break in Birmingham, I’ve also visited lots of local places for drinks and food. Instead of a weekly roundup I’m starting 2019 with a quick post about the independent highlights between Christmas and New Year. Laghi’s Deli (Five Ways) My…
Over Christmas my husband and I ventured out of the flat in search of anything that wasn’t turkey or cheese. Yes – even I can only put away so much Camembert, it turns out. Living by the canal means we often take the walk from Brindleyplace down to Mailbox, during which we walk past a…
Horrah – it’s nearly Christmas. I’d say I’m looking forward to eating all the food and getting fat, but alas thanks to BYB I’ve been doing that since March. Yay life. Today’s post is just a quick little ramble about a lovely winter warmer dinner I had earlier this month. As anyone who reads this…
Recently I was given a voucher for a beer tasting at Brewhouse and Kitchen to get in the Christmas spirit. Santa does beer tokens – who knew? Part of Sutton Coldfield’s Restaurant Quarter, Brewhouse and Kitchen has a big beer selection and offers pub grub. As I explained in my recent post about The Green…
Today I have the most easy to follow recipe for you, I’m not sure I can even justify it as a real recipe. But when I put this meal up on my Instagram a few of you seemed to think it looked good enough to make yourself, so below you’ll find the minimal ingredients required….
Another week, another obscene amount of food. With Christmas approaching I should probably be saving myself but, well, where’s the fun in that? This week has included pizza, Sunday lunch and some cocktails. Come take a look at the best bits from the last seven days. The Wolf, Jewellery Quarter I’ve got a new contender…
If you like playing old school arcade games while smashing in burgers, Burger Theory at Kongs may be of interest to you. The arcade bar sits on Hill Street (just off Victoria Square) and fills the space left by the relentlessly awful Chameleon bar. Unlike the former meat market for people too drunk to go…
