July saw the launch of a summer menu at Cosy Club so I went along to sample some of the new dishes available alongside a few cocktails. For those unfamiliar with this bar come restaurant, it's an eclectic mix of plush furnishing, peculiar paintings, and over the top decor. It manages to feel like a vintage boutique-esq … Continue reading Summer menu tasting @ Cosy Club

Free ‘Independence Day’ burgers @ Buffalo & Rye
"I could've been at a barbecue!" When I think of Independence Day I find it hard to picture anything other than a baby-faced Will Smith kicking seven bells of shite out of an unconscious alien, but thankfully on Tuesday last week my thoughts were turned to food courtesy of Buffalo & Rye. Announcing across the social … Continue reading Free ‘Independence Day’ burgers @ Buffalo & Rye
A fun cinema experience but disappointing food @ Mockingbird
You find me today a disappointed and confused foodie. I've written and deleted the opening of this blog post so many times now, but I've decided to just post a blow-by-blow account of my recent visit to Mockingbird Cinema & Kitchen. I have to be honest from the get go and say this may be … Continue reading A fun cinema experience but disappointing food @ Mockingbird
Summer menu tasting @ Marmalade
One of the best things about 'working from home' is that I'm not confined to an office, and I often take my laptop to random locations around the city to work remotely. I enjoy being able to change my working environment on a daily basis, although I must confess I do have some favourite go-to … Continue reading Summer menu tasting @ Marmalade
Birthday bites and all the cheese @ Fumo
I've heard a lot of people rave about Fumo over the years but until recently was yet to visit it personally. Part of the San Carlo group, the swish Italian inspired restaurant and cocktail bar is situated on Waterloo Street and is, from what I can gather, always super busy at the weekend. With one … Continue reading Birthday bites and all the cheese @ Fumo
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
Burrito bowls @ Habaneros Mexican Street Food
Last week I had a lunch in the park that could only be described as life changing. As anyone who knows me well will testify, I am absolutely in love with all things burrito and I'm always looking for somewhere that I haven't tried for my next fix. Last week I finally paid a visit … Continue reading Burrito bowls @ Habaneros Mexican Street Food
A working lunch @ Bella Italia
In the middle of the week I found myself in town running a few errands and hooking up with someone for a quick lunch meeting. With all that had been going on in Manchester it was nice to spend a lunch hour chatting about anything else other than current events, so I took the work … Continue reading A working lunch @ Bella Italia
Sunshine and salads @ Fazeley Social
Finally it looks like spring has finally arrived and the week started with a glorious sunny day. I don't know about you but I find a dose of sunshine really takes the Monday blues away, especially when combined with some tasty bites. With my washing drying out on the line before 9am, and my Monday … Continue reading Sunshine and salads @ Fazeley Social
The best hangover I’ve had in a while @ Pieminister
Friday wasn't really my finest hour. After spending the previous night at Bourne & Co sampling cocktails (so.many.cocktails) I awoke on Friday morning feeling anything less than peachy. Despite having a full day of work ahead of me I was in vaguely good spirits, mainly because of the Brum arrival of Pieminister. Knowing the small … Continue reading The best hangover I’ve had in a while @ Pieminister
