I’ve found a new lunch deal worth checking out. I’ve found a new lunch deal worth checking out. If you’re over in Harborne during the week you can get your hands on a bargain takeaway lunch for less than a fiver at @thecodsscallops. Pick what small item you want with your chips (battered sausage, fish cake, cheese and onion patties etc) add a sauce (I went for gravy but you can have peas or curry instead) and grab a soft drink from the fridge. A lighter portion so you don’t fall asleep straight after eating and perfect for on the go - nice one 💪🏼
Do you know about the lunch deal at @the_oysterclu Do you know about the lunch deal at @the_oysterclub yet, because you really need to. For £24 you can enjoy two courses (start with these mussels in a smoked caviar sauce and thank me later) in one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Brum. Sit at the bar, enjoy a glass of fizz, feel smug that you’re getting a blinding deal in the heart of the city at one of our best independents. Available Tue-Fri 12-6pm. (Save this post so you can come back to it later✌🏼)

The sun is shining, life is good and I’ve just f The sun is shining, life is good and I’ve just figured out I can get the fried chicken rice bowl from @brummifood delivered to my house. What a time to be alive.
Always happy to kick the week off with carbs so le Always happy to kick the week off with carbs so let’s talk about the ‘posh’ hot sandwiches from @1000tradesjq, shall we? Good lord, they are well fit. We tried two - this one is the State Side with slow cooked beef, fried gherkins, cheese and pickles, amongst some other gorgeous things. The filling was (unsurprisingly) delicious but that bread. Urgh that bread. So good. Focaccia levels unlocked, right there. That’s quite a lot of babble about a sarni but it was banging and I want you all to know about it. Swipe left for a porny close up that could even make a Tory MP blush. Have a lush week 🫶🏼
Last night I had one of my favourites meals of 202 Last night I had one of my favourites meals of 2022 so far thanks to @chapterbham in Edgbaston. We love it here. The spring a la carte menu offers up some truly lovely dishes, most notably this Cornish lamb, and the scallops with samphire. The most colourful plates of food, served by lovely people in a relaxed surrounding: perfect. Also, I’ve always banged on about how good the Bloody Mary is here but there’s a new contender in the margarita - hello gorgeous. So lucky to have this within a short walk from my flat. There’s also a great brunch menu and a new terrace has just opened on the front so you can enjoy drinks in the sunshine this summer. Keen to hear what those of you who have been to Chapter think, let me know below. Have a gorgeous Sunday ❤️
Have you got your paws on @rourkespies yet? They’re so good - handmade, loads of variety and really generously packed little pies. They pop up at various artisan markets but they also have a bricks and mortar venue over in Kings Heath. If you like pies with interesting fillings, this is the trader for you. Have a happy bank holiday 👯‍♀️
My social battery is on 2% and I have nothing left My social battery is on 2% and I have nothing left to give. After a successful (but far too busy week) I’m elated to spend today on my sofa watching crap films and eating tasty things. And naps… so many naps. Have fun if you’re out enjoying the bank holiday Sunday vibes. Here’s a photo of the French dip from @beefontheblock because this is a food page and I like bread. Peace out ✌🏼
Ad. The Lost Hours is coming to Brum! After work d Ad. The Lost Hours is coming to Brum!

You’ll be able to bag £5 spritzes, pints of Moretti for £4, and selected cocktails on a 2 for £12 deal. There’s a launch party next week for it and you can get your face printed on a cocktail if you fancy - here’s my foamy face, whadaya think? #happyhour #thelosthours #thelostandfound #cocktails
PIZZA / A @laghisdeli pizza is a thing of beauty. PIZZA / A @laghisdeli pizza is a thing of beauty. The fact that I can now scoff these on my balcony while soaking up the spring sunshine is an added bonus. This beauty went down particularly well with chilli oil to dip the crusts in, and a glass of chilled wine. Happy days. You can get delivery of pizzas like this and charcuterie boards (ideal for al fresco dining when it’s warm) through Deliveroo now, btw. In the words of Ginnie Lemon… fancy a sliiiiice? Have a great weekend 🖤

RICE / Hope you’re all having a gorgeous bank ho RICE / Hope you’re all having a gorgeous bank holiday - this sunshine is giving me LIFE, let me tell you. I’ve brought you some new openings recently but I think it’s also important to remember your old trusted indies still exist and to give those you enjoy most some love. So with that in mind, here’s the Indonesian chicken fried rice from @ngopiuk, where the food is both delicious and excellent value. This massive pile of spicy rice topped with a fried egg (and served with prawn crackers) costs just £8. A great value lunch if you’re in the city centre and want a tasty, quick meal. Have a smashing weekend, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do 🥴😂
EGGS / You want to know one of the best brunch dis EGGS / You want to know one of the best brunch dishes in Brum? The 7 minutes eggs from @caneatcafe in Stirchley. No ifs, no buts. Just perfectly jammy yolks and gochujang mayo slathered toast. Keeps you full all day and for £7.50 it’s also decent value. For the sake of the spirit of having a conversation, let me know you’re 3 top picks for brunch in and around the city below.
BURG / Checked out @herbertsyard for the first tim BURG / Checked out @herbertsyard for the first time at the weekend for a pal’s birthday - what a great place to spend a few hours scoffing. Great mix of street food traders scattered about the outside area and loads of room in doors for beers. Here’s a @thepattyfreaks burger to give you a taster of what you can get there. Hope everyone’s having a great week ✌🏼☀️
BLONDIE / As a rule I couldn’t give a toss about BLONDIE / As a rule I couldn’t give a toss about sugary stuff (puddings are rubbish, don’t @ me) but I’ll always make space in my salt-laden schedule for a blondie from @pausebirmingham. The brilliant @farahchaudry is not only one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met she’s also a bloody good baker, and the pop up she shares at @verbenakitchen with @roryjmcghie is a must-visit if you’re a fan of a coffee and cake vibe. Great people doing ace things - we love to see it. If you had to pick a cinnabuffin or a brownie which would you go for? Doesn’t matter tbh because you can get both and live a happy life. Enjoy 👍🏼❤️

REOPENED / Prince of Wales on Cambridge Street (by REOPENED / Prince of Wales on Cambridge Street (by Arena) has been rescued and had an ‘old man’ makeover - reopen now and open 12-11 every day. Loads of reasonably priced ales and I found some sexy cheese and onion cobs on the bar. Also the toilets have been done up which, if you visited this pub just before it closed, you’ll know is a very good thing… Part of the @blackcountryales pack now, if you enjoy the likes of Jewellers Arms and The Welly this is probably for you. Dogs welcome, real fire, chilled etc. Enjoy 😊
Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend! I’ve Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend! I’ve got a pile of work to do (boo) but if I can escape later I’m going in search of gravy to sustain me for the Peaky Blinders finale which considering how meh this final season has so far been I haven’t got my hopes up for. Anyone got any guesses as to what happens? Mainly I just want someone to bump off that fascist posh bint, tbh, but I’ll settle for some good old fashioned violence. Will Arthur actually do *anything* except be off his face? Was it even worth hiring Stephen Graham? Has Tom Hardy left his opera bunker yet? Will Michael’s tragic moustache finally lose the will to live? Has anyone checked on Billy’s poor testicles? So many unanswered questions….
(Ad - client) Did you know Edgbaston Village Artis (Ad - client) Did you know Edgbaston Village Artisan Market is back on Saturday 9th April! A great way to spend the day in Edgbaston Village, from 10-3 you’ll find lots of stalls packed with local traders selling fabulous food (like all this tasty regionally made cheese from Lightwood Cheese) drink, arts and crafts, jewellery and farmers market-style businesses selling fruit and veg, bakery, butchers’ produce and more. Fancy making a day of it? Once you’ve visited the market, enjoy favourites like Chapter, Loki, The High Field, Blue Piano and The Physician for drinks afterwards or shop at Neptune, OKA, BoConcept, KIN and LUX (all of which are dog friendly - I know you lot love to take the pooches). Tap the link in my bio to find out more and follow @edgbastonvillage for updates about upcoming markets and save this post if you want to come back to it next week. See you there? 👋🏼 #EdgbastonVillage
KOREAN / Have you seen my latest blog post? 👀 H KOREAN / Have you seen my latest blog post? 👀 Here’s another beauty from the @brindleyplace street food pop ups for you today - this bowl of spicy loveliness is from @tasteofkoreanotts. Yangnyeom chicken (Korean fried chicken in a garlic gochujang sauce) with rice came in at about £8 and made a delicious (and massive) lunch to enjoy in the spring sunshine. Swipe left for a sexy close up of the crispy sticky goodness. A joy to have this two day pop up right by my apartment each week - if you fancy seeing what’s on this week @streetfood.brindleyplace is open 12-2:30 Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’ve also popped a new blog up with all the details - link is in my bio - but you can also just save this post for later and come back to it when you need it👋🏼
