Sunny Sundays @ The Distillery
I don't really like living in Tyseley. It's lacking in entertainment, Deliveroo doesn't deliver Lebanese food at 10am here, and my next door neighbours are basically a 2017 version of the Nesbitt's (showing my age there). However, one of the few things I am grateful to this shitshow of an area for - aside from … Continue reading Sunny Sundays @ The Distillery

The two-day event - which annually takes over Victoria Square - took place over the 30th June and 1st July, and featured stalls from some of the most popular … Continue reading Photos from Colmore Row Food Festival
Fizz, fun and a flaming hot finale: Foodies Festival 2017
Last weekend saw the return of Foodies Festival, and despite the bipolar weather (I managed to get sunburnt in the rain, a new one even for me) the three-day event in Cannon Hill Park proved to be a success. Seeing local food and drink businesses merge with those from further afield, the festival was designed … Continue reading Fizz, fun and a flaming hot finale: Foodies Festival 2017

So when I arrived at the Harborne restaurant one sunny evening … Continue reading Second birthday celebrations @ Umami
BrewDog gets a revamp
Unless you've been under a rock for the last two years you'll probably be more than familiar with Birmingham's branch of BrewDog. Settled in the heart of John Bright Street - now one of my personal favourite areas for a tipple and a casual bite to eat - BrewDog is of course part of the … Continue reading BrewDog gets a revamp
Pizzas, pies and a nice surprise @ The Stable
I remember when The Stable opened in late 2015 - mainly because it marked the first time since my teens that I'd actively enjoyed a pint of cider. Like many high school reprobates, cider was one of the first tipples I ever got drunk on and - despite my best efforts at university - it … Continue reading Pizzas, pies and a nice surprise @ The Stable
A £10 lunch triumph @ Wildwood
I love a bargain. No scatch that, I live for a bargain - especially an edible one. There are plenty of eateries all across the city centre that offer lunchtime specials, but in my experience many of them tend to shrink down the portion sizes or offer very limited choices. For that reason I was … Continue reading A £10 lunch triumph @ Wildwood
