I think I may have finally found the dream hangover lunch in Birmingham. I say that because upon my first visit to All Greek Streetfood I ate something I’ve not had in such similar form since an 18-30s holiday in Malia – a Greek souvlaki wrap stuffed with chips. The last time I ate such […]
Despite appearances, I’ve actually been quite boring of late. By my standards anyway. I haven’t done a weekly food roundup for a while (the last one is here) mainly because I’ve not been eating out that much. Between having a cold straight from Satan and being acutely aware I need to save some pennies for […]
Pulling into New Street Station after a long meeting in a place I can’t pronounce, I was in a fairly bad state of hangry by the time I got to Pig and Apple. People don’t like me when I’m hangry (a choice few don’t seem to like me regardless of my blood sugar levels) for […]
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I spent last weekend in Manchester celebrating Pride. If you don’t follow me on Instagram you’re one of the lucky ones.. believe me. While I had a lovely time (I’m fat, exhausted and still finding glitter everywhere) I struggled to get back into the whole cooking for […]
Moving house is absolutely awful. Like, I know people moan about it and it’s stressful for everyone, but good god it’s woeful. Packing and boxes everywhere, bruises that make no sense, anxiety about bills/keys/deposits… the list of fun is long. Despite a cock up with the removal men (or rather singular man) that made me […]
I discovered yesterday that we’re in the midst of British Sandwich Week. All hail the carby wonder. I only realised this was a ‘thing’ after watching Marmite, Hellmann’s and Pot Noodle have a scrap on Twitter. That’s not a sentence I expected to write myself, to be honest, but here we are. My timeline became […]
I remember the first time I stumbled upon Medicine Bakery & Gallery. I use that turn of phrase literally; I tripped up outside the place on my way to the museum. Hidden away on New Street, up a steep flight of stairs, you would be forgiven for walking straight past this cool little offering. Forgiven […]
There is something rather wonderful happening at Laghi’s Deli, a family run restaurant that popped up opposite Park Regis Hotel last year. Despite being situated about one red wine stumble away from Five Ways roundabout, Laghi’s Deli is a pretty addition to Brum’s food scene that has been quietly making a name for itself over the […]
Having heard so many meat-free bloggers I know rate the place, I really wanted to love Not Dogs Bullring. Offering vegan and vegetarian friendly hot dogs, burgers and rice pots, Not Dogs Bullring is a seemingly always busy little spot on the concourse linking the Bull Ring and Grand Central. Having wanted to try the […]
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 […]
Recently I’ve been grabbing more and more lunches on the go, and a few weeks ago came across Hookway’s in The Minories. I hadn’t heard of the salad and sandwich bar until my pal Fay visited and told me all about it, but it’s such a good find I wanted to share it myself. Hookway’s […]
Free food at Chop and Wok to brighten a bad day! What with failing my driving test last week, it was nice to get some good news via Twitter. This good news involved eating, and better still meant free food. Do you know what’s better than free food? Absolute bugger all, that’s what. After a pretty […]
Last week I had a lunch in the park that could only be described as life changing: Habaneros. Last week I finally paid a visit to Habaneros on Temple Row, and I honestly left with a new favourite Mexican spot for lunch. Rather than a sit down restaurant or cafe, Habaneros is a mobile street […]
