Midweek supper | Opus, Cornwall Street

Posted on February 14, 2019February 12, 2019 by Laura

Way back at the start of January (which seems about 9503 years ago) I popped a post up about some of the local independent restaurant deals that could be found in Brum during the most financially naff month of the year. One of those deals was at Opus, Cornwall Street. The last time I visited this place…

Relaxed fine dining | Harborne Kitchen, Harborne High Street

Posted on February 1, 2019February 1, 2019 by Laura

Elegant, vibrant food in an unpretentious and relaxed setting – what a joy Harborne Kitchen is. I’ve started this post numerous times now, and still don’t really feeling like I’m doing this place justice. Suffice to say, a few weeks ago I possibly had the best lunch I’ve ever had; a meal packed with colour,…

Sandwiches and light bites | Gas Street Social, Mailbox

Posted on December 29, 2018February 14, 2019 by Laura

Over Christmas my husband and I ventured out of the flat in search of anything that wasn’t turkey or cheese. Yes – even I can only put away so much Camembert, it turns out. Living by the canal means we often take the walk from Brindleyplace down to Mailbox, during which we walk past a…

Fresh English flavours @ Aria, Hyatt Regency Hotel

Posted on September 24, 2018November 11, 2018 by Laura

The last time I visited the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Broad Street it was a birthday. My husband had organised the stop over for me, and I remember the great views from our room at the top of the hotel. I also remember falling off my high heels as I exited the lift but that’s…

A week of food and drink in Birmingham #4

Posted on September 2, 2018September 4, 2018 by Laura

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…

A weekend of rest & relaxation @ Hatherley Manor Hotel and Spa, Gloucester

Posted on August 22, 2018November 11, 2018 by Laura

Last weekend I spent a glorious 24 hours at Hatherley Manor Hotel and Spa in the Gloucestershire countryside. My lovely mum, Deborah – who enjoys a spa break and glass of plonk almost as much as me – kindly booked the overnight break for us as a belated birthday present. Having just moved house I…

Seafood and summer menu changes @ Bistro du Vin, Church Street

Posted on August 2, 2018August 2, 2018 by Laura

Recently I joined a group of food bloggers at Bistro du Vin on Church Street to meet the new GM and test run the summer menu. Moving over from Malmaison, the boutique hotel’s new manager is Tom Gallimore. He’s tall and likes to drink wine, so I instantly warmed to him. His invitation to dine…

Simple springtime dining @ The Pickled Piglet, Gas Street

Posted on June 13, 2018June 13, 2018 by Laura

I recently found myself moseying along the canals in between meetings, hungry and with an hour to kill. Jumping off the towpath around Gas Street, I spotted the familiar white washed walls of The Pickled Piglet. It’s somewhere I’ve trundled past many times with good intentions of visiting, but until one recent overcast afternoon I’d…

Tapas and small plates @ Rico Libre, Digbeth

Posted on May 31, 2018May 31, 2018 by Laura

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…

A brilliant birthday lunch @ El Borracho de Oro, Edgbaston

Posted on May 14, 2018May 21, 2018 by Laura

Before flying off to Rome for my birthday (sorry not sorry) I had a gorgeous lunch at El Borracho de Oro with some friends and family. The Edgbaston restaurant is somewhere I’ve enjoyed tapas before, and more recently I scoffed a lot of owner Emma’s grub at 1000 Trades, where she had a successful pop…

Fish and chips @ Tasty Plaice, Grand Central

Posted on April 14, 2018April 30, 2018 by Laura

About 6 weeks ago I was moaning on Twitter about the lack of decent chippies in Birmingham city centre. As if by some chip-based magic, Tasty Plaice opened at Grand Central in April offering what it calls “probably the best fish and chips in the world.” That’s quite a bold statement, especially for a small…

Simple springtime dining @ Chez Mal, Malmaison

Posted on April 13, 2018April 13, 2018 by Laura

I personally couldn’t have been more elated to see the back of March. The endless snow flurries ruining plans and seemingly everyone being in a trans-seasonal funk, I was more than happy to welcome in April. My first food-based adventure of the month turned out to be Malmaison; a venue I’ve dined in several times,…

Classic sushi @ Otoro, Birmingham Indoor Market

Posted on April 3, 2018June 12, 2018 by Laura

I stumbled upon Otoro Sushi one afternoon when I was buying some seafood from Birmingham Indoor Market. Yes, despite appearances (and my Instagram feed) occasionally I do cook for myself. Despite being slap bang in the middle of a indoor market that always has a fairly prolific smell of fish, Otoro was busy. And by…
