Let’s say hello to Brum’s newest independent restaurant: Chapter. The bar and kitchen is right in the heart of Edgbaston Village, offering brunch lunch and dinner. From the lovely team behind (the sadly closed) Opus, you’ll find a pretty neighbourhood spot offering meals in the restaurant or snacks with drinks in the plush bar. If…

Restaurants and pubs in Birmingham for walk ins
By the end of this week – the second week of hospitality being reopen since lockdown – I think I must have been asked which restaurants and pubs in Brum are offering walk ins about 50 times. Every time I check my messages there’s at least 3 people asking this, so in a bid to…
Review | Dishoom Birmingham, City Centre
I feel a bit conflicted that my first real review in months is the newly-open Dishoom rather than an established Brummie favourite, but I’m aware it’ll be one lots of you are interested in. If you’re reading this from the future, 2020 has (thus far) been a bit of a bin fire. I’m not going…
Harborne Kitchen launches new 4 course dinner menu
The ever wonderful Harborne Kitchen is now offering a 4 course dinner menu. Available Tuesday to Thursday evenings, the menu runs alongside the existing 6/8 course tasting menus. After your snacks and home baked bread selection you’ll enjoy dishes such as line caught cod with cauliflower, sea leeks, apple and butter bean cassoulet. This menu…
Exploring Edgbaston Village – Loki Wine & The High Field
* Collaboration with Edgbaston Village Earlier this week I teamed up with the guys from Edgbaston Village to show you what’s available at two of the venues in the area. I’m a big fan of this part of the city centre, mainly because it’s home to several of my favourite places to eat. Living just…
Dinner for meat lovers | Fazenda, Church Street
If you enjoy eating like a caveman but want to feel a bit fancy, you probably need to pay Fazenda a visit. Situated next to Gaucho (you can eat other things than beef around Colmore Row, I promise) this Brazilian restaurant aims to give you the full rodizio experience in the heart of the city….
Feel good fine dining | Folium, St Paul’s Square
Behind the almost opaque white drapes that separate the beating heart of Folium from the streets of the Jewellery Quarter, something rather beautiful is happening. Food critics from national newspapers have raved about it, locals love it, and as of late 2018 the big boys at Michelin have recommended it. One could say that Folium…
A week of food and drink in Birmingham #10
Most people go on some kind of ‘detox’ after Christmas – I personally hate dry January (and staying in for more than 2 days) so I’ve been quite busy already this month. I ran a poll over on my Instagram a few weeks ago to see whether or not you guys like these roundups –…
Brazilian rodizio bar & grill | Fazenda, Colmore Row
Calling all meat fans: Brazilian bar and grill Fazenda has opened on Colmore Row – and it’s actually pretty good. The fifth restaurant in the UK under this brand to open, this is an all you can eat experience akin to Rodizio Rico at The Cube and the ill-fated Viva Brazil, which opened and closed…
A week of food and drink in Birmingham #6
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…
Overnight retreat | Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club, Stratford-Upon-Avon
If there’s one thing in life I love, it’s a weekend getaway with great friends and good food. With one of my close girlfriends due to bring a ‘mini me’ into the world, it seemed only right to whisk her away for an overnight pampering treat. After researching into West Midlands-based rural retreats that offer…
A week of food and drink in Birmingham (#1)
Last week ended up being super busy, so I thought I’d put together some of my food and drink highlights. I started the week with a quick mooch around the newly opened Baked in Brick, which of course included a spot of lunch. The full pizza menu doesn’t run during the day so I opted…
5 fun ways to spend a Sunday in Birmingham
A few weeks ago The Husband treated me to a Sunday packed full of food and drink. As part of my birthday celebrations, Ian planned a whole day of fun in the city centre; of course this mainly involved eating and booze. We had such a good time that I thought I’d share some of…
Tapas and small plates @ Rico Libre, Digbeth
Recently I spent an evening at Rico Libre in Digbeth with some good friends. We laughed and gossiped, ate far too much and polished off a decent amount of wine for four women who all had work the next day. The coming together of friends over food is one of the reasons I enjoy tapas…
