Found within the ye olde walls of The Anchor, a new food concept is quietly bubbling away. Say hello to Digbeth Market Kitchen. First a little background colour. My first taste of Digbeth Market Kitchen in (unsurprisingly) Digbeth came about because of my dear friend Vicky. An absolute nut for whisky, the lady also known […]
Today’s post is a quick look at Tuck in Tuesdays at The Stable, where for £10 you get a pizza, salad and a drink. First of all I should quickly just explain why I’ve been AWOL. Last weekend my dad became quite poorly and my focus was on seeing him and making sure he left […]
Recently I joined a group of food bloggers at Bistro du Vin on Church Street to meet the new GM and test run the summer menu. Moving over from Malmaison, the boutique hotel’s new manager is Tom Gallimore. He’s tall and likes to drink wine, so I instantly warmed to him. His invitation to dine […]
For the first time since starting this blog I’ve just left a restaurant and immediately written a review. I’m not sure I can do the food or artistry happening at Gaijin Sushi justice, but I’m going to have a go. My journey to trying Gaijin Sushi has been embarrassingly long. The Southside-based sushi restaurant has […]
Last weekend I headed to Worcester for my friend Emma’s birthday, making a refuel stop at Burger Shop after an afternoon of gin. Found under an old railway arch, Burger Shop has recently enjoyed award success, winning Best Casual Dining restaurant at the Midland Food, Drink and Hospitality Awards in June. Accolades are good but […]
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 […]
It’s no secret that one of my favourite foodie spots in the city is Hotel du Vin on Church Street. Way before starting this food blog I used to spend my time enjoying drinks in the bar, and over the last couple of years I have grown fond of the restaurant. While it’s become somewhere […]
I’m a big fan of some of the Sunday lunch offerings in and around Birmingham city centre. There’s some fairly reasonably priced options within a few of the nicer hotels in the city (step forward Malmaison) and I visited 1565 Restaurant at Park Regis Hotel hoping for something quite special. The 4 star hotel – […]
Don’t tell owner Emma, but I’ve secretly moved in to El Borracho de Oro. The floor isn’t that comfortable but the food is worth the bad back. I seem to spend more time at the Edgbaston restaurant than my own home, but it’s hard to stay away from a place oozing charm and knocking out […]
