A quick post today regarding a recent visit I had to The Lenchford Inn. Technically this place isn't in Birmingham (there's nothing technical about it; it's in Worcestershire) but it's a lovely riverside setting for dinner, so I thought I'd pop a bit of information on here in case it's of interest/use to anyone. The … Continue reading The Lenchford Inn, Worcester
Kanteen opens in the Custard Factory
Attention lovers of brunch: there is a new cafe in Digbeth offering healthy but delicious food! Set in the Custard Factory, Kanteen is a new start up and it's bloody brilliant. It launched officially yesterday (22nd Sept) and I popped along on the opening day to check out what was on offer. And I'll say … Continue reading Kanteen opens in the Custard Factory
Steak club @ Bar + Block
After a brilliant, but incredibly busy, weekend I was feeling a little bit sorry for myself at the start of last week. Don't get me wrong, most of it was self inflicted (my hen do was epic; I thought I was dying until Wednesday) but I was most definitely in need of a post-weekend pick … Continue reading Steak club @ Bar + Block
A Middle Eastern feast @ Damascena, Temple Row
If you ask any foodie in Birmingham where to go for epic Middle Eastern grub, the chances are the name Damascena might crop up. And when I say might I mean absolutely will. Having very much enjoyed my visit to the flagship cafe in Moseley Village earlier this year, I had high expectations of the … Continue reading A Middle Eastern feast @ Damascena, Temple Row
Product review: Feel Good Teas by Tea Pigs
Regular readers of my blog will be aware that I have a rather large life event on the horizon: I'm getting married in 4 weeks. Life has been incredibly busy of late - what with planning a Vegas wedding and my imminent hen do - so when I got an email from the folks at … Continue reading Product review: Feel Good Teas by Tea Pigs
Wholesome food and an adaptable menu @ The Rustic Cafe
When you think of the best places for brunch in Birmingham you would be forgiven for not giving the crossroads by Lidl in the Spring Road area of Acocks Green much thought. Hardly known for its chic eateries, the area is largely ignored by foodies - ordinarily for good reason. I know when I usually … Continue reading Wholesome food and an adaptable menu @ The Rustic Cafe
Electro Brunch @ Gaucho
With my hen do this weekend coming I had every intention of having a 'quiet one' on Saturday, but instead I accepted an invitation to a bloggers event at Gaucho. The coveted Electro Brunch - a weekly all you can eat and drink thrill ride - has been on my 'to do' list since I visited … Continue reading Electro Brunch @ Gaucho
Product review: Ibiza Ice Sparkling Wine
It has to be said that I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to wine. I'm generally more a fan of red wine over white, and my previous experience with sparkling vinos hasn't always been brilliant. Having said that I'm always open to trying new things (especially when it comes to alcohol) so … Continue reading Product review: Ibiza Ice Sparkling Wine
Edinburgh Gin dinner @ Moor Hall Hotel & Spa
To say I had a lovely evening on Friday would be an understatement and a half, I can tell you. Having received an invitation to attend an Edinburgh Gin event (you can read all about the last one here) at Moor Hall Hotel & Spa, I had a feeling I might be in for a … Continue reading Edinburgh Gin dinner @ Moor Hall Hotel & Spa
A spicy lunch and Siamais revisited
Sometimes you stumble upon a restaurant and it just makes your heart a little happier, don't you think? It's rare but wonderful; you've never heard of a place and then all of a sudden you've been back ten times and tried half the menu. For me, that restaurant seems to be Siamais. I sort of … Continue reading A spicy lunch and Siamais revisited
