In the last 12 months Digbeth has seen more openings than an orgy. And that’s a good thing really. I talk about Digbeth on here a lot and I have a lot of love for many of the places to eat and drink around this neck of the woods. Digbeth Dining Club is arguably the…
Fancy a festive meal with a bit of a twist? Baked in Brick has got a Christmas menu available during December – and it’s pretty damn good. The Custard Factory restaurant is offering 3 courses for £25 (lunch is £20) including pizzas, street food and puds all the way up to Christmas. It’s all festive…
I’ve been a bit quiet (for me anyway) on the old blogging front of late. I doubt anyone has really noticed (aside from the one rude gammon on Twitter who seems to think I’m his on-call food and drink encyclopaedia), but in truth I’ve had a bit going on in my personal life, and for…
Let’s be honest: we’ve all been waiting for a proper, actually decent pizza place slap bang in the centre of Birmingham. There are ok places and a few very nice places. There’s also some absolute turds. But there’s something really exciting happening on Bennetts Hill right now I want to shout about. <Rudy’s Pizza enters…
*Complementary meal The way people had been banging on about Franco Manca opening you’d think Jesus was being resurrected and opening a pizza joint. Truth is, like many people, I’ve been to another branch somewhere down south before and knew how good these guys were. From memory, the food was decent value and the crust…
*updated post Let’s kick this off in the same rational way I approach most things in life – I’m a firm believer that if you don’t like pizza there must be something seriously wrong with you. I’m not kidding. If carbs and cheese can’t make you happy then we have nothing in common. Pizza is…
I love a weekday bargain, and you can’t go far wrong with the pizza night deal at The Distillery. Every Monday the canal-side pub offers 241 pizzas, meaning two of you can eat for about £10. Bargain. I’ve actually had the pizza here a few times but until now hadn’t blogged about it, but we…
Somehow it is still March. But despite falling down a flight of stairs, a hospital visit, flying to/from Gran Canaria and moaning about Brexit I’ve managed to actually find some food to share with you. This week’s roundup isn’t as long as usual because I’ve been super busy (inadvertently trying to kill myself, apparently) but…
I keep thinking I’m having a really boring, quiet month considering I was out more than the cat in January, but actually I’ve been having a jolly lovely time. With it being a bit warmer (I sound like my mum) I’ve been taking my laptop out to work remotely a fair bit, as well as…
Another week, another obscene amount of food. With Christmas approaching I should probably be saving myself but, well, where’s the fun in that? This week has included pizza, Sunday lunch and some cocktails. Come take a look at the best bits from the last seven days. The Wolf, Jewellery Quarter I’ve got a new contender…
Here’s the festive dilemma: you want to eat lovely things but you don’t want to spend a fortune. You and me both. With Christmas almost here you may be laying off the nice lunches and evenings in the pub to ensure you’re not left selling a kidney come 2019. But what if I told you…
Today’s post is a quick look at Tuck in Tuesdays at The Stable, where for £10 you get a pizza, salad and a drink. I’ve talked about this John Bright Street staple before, having enjoyed Sunday pints and both the pizzas and the pies. The venue is large with the kitchen and bar sitting side…
Let’s kick this off in the same rational way I approach most things in life: I’m a firm believer that if you don’t like pizza there must be something seriously wrong with you. I’m not kidding. If carbs and cheese can’t make you happy then we have nothing in common. Pizza is great to eat…
If there are two things I associate with my good pal and former bridesmaid Nic, it’s booze and pizza. Having known her since freshers week, approximately 2749 years ago, we bonded over our love for rubbish boys, getting legless and eating far too much. A lot has changed since our first encounter in 2003 (we…
