If you’re a fan of half-arsed bar food that has as much personality as the cheap tin trays it comes in, you’ll love Walkabout on Broad Street. I didn’t go to this bar with high hopes (in fact I had extremely low expectations considering it was a decision based on limited New Year’s Day choices…
My husband is obsessed with BoneHead. Come the weekend all he wants to do is eat fried chicken and learn to play his guitar; the former annoys me less. Having personally been a bit of a social butterfly of late, Ian had made several trips to the small John Bright Street restaurant without me. Every…
The Distillery is an awesome lunch spot on the canal. Hardly anyone seems to know about it either, which, on a selfish level, makes my inner only child quite happy. My love for The Distillery started when we found it one sunny afternoon, after moaning about where I live. I don’t really like residing in…
You know Original Patty Men serve up some decent burgers at the weekend, but did you know they’re now open midweek and knocking out some pretty epic chicken wings? I got wind of Wings Wednesday through a combination of Twitter posts and my pal Chris (otherwise known as The Fat Foodie) who lives for fried…
I’ve always had a soft spot for Lost and Found and this new-look version is top banana. Lost and Found on Bennetts Hill officially reopens Friday March 2nd, but last week some friends and https://zenithglobalhealth.com/cheap-generic-viagra-online/ I checked out the newly renovated bar to try the updated bottomless brunch. It’s a hard life.. no really it…
Bodega fans: I have burrito porn for you. My poor pal Alison gets a right rough deal. Her birthday is the first weekend of January and everyone is either on a diet or on the wagon, but I always turn up (and make twice as much noise as normal) to make sure she knows she’s…
Hands up who overspent at Christmas and is now far from flush this month.. yup, I hear you. January is notoriously crappy for most people and a slow one for restaurants and bars, but to combat this many places across the city centre are offering substantial discounts and deals this month. You get a cheaper…
A new vegan cafe, Fressh, has popped up next to Tilt and it serves really good fast food. Nope, I didn’t think I’d be saying that anytime soon either, but here we are. Fressh offers plant-based food in the heart of the city centre, and joins the growing list of vegan-friendly venues (such as Natural Healthy…
Realising it was just two weeks until Christmas, and struggling to feel remotely festive, the latest Original Patty Men special couldn’t have come at a better time. What better way to get into the spirit than with a burger covered in sprouts, eh? I saw the Everyday I’m Brusselin (£9.50) on the OPM twitter page…
Confession time: I’ve only just lost my The Meat Shack virginity. I know, I know; how is that possible for such a vocal burger monster? Despite being woefully behind the times (soz guys) I finally made it to the latest DDC offering to set up shop, and I can tell you it’s worth the hype –…
Last week I returned to the land of dirty ribs and lobster love, Nosh and Quaff, to celebrate the launch of a brand new beer now available at the bar and restaurant. The event saw the introduction of New Yorker Beer, a bottled lager which is already available across the world. Marketed as ‘a beer…
With its big beer garden and tempting sounding burgers it was inevitable I’d end up dining in The Old Crown Digbeth eventually; coincidentally next door to the weekly DDC street food pop up. Birmingham’s oldest inn, The Old Crown dates right back to 1368 (I think dinosaurs were alive then?) and is a beautiful building;…
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 and Rye. Announcing across the social media channels it would be…
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 a long (and painful) read and is a blog…
