Posted on December 7, 2020December 9, 2020 by Laura

Tis the season to be jolly. Tis also the season to give up on 2020 and get someone else to do the hard work for you this Christmas. A few people this week have asked me about at home Christmas dinner kits that can be delivered prepped and ready to go. If you’re looking for…

Review | 1000 Trades, Frederick Street

Posted on October 4, 2019February 5, 2020 by Laura

Ages ago, in a time before Boris and women wearing spider broaches made old men wobble with rage, I wrote a post about my favourite places for Sunday lunch in Brum. It continues to be one of the blog’s most popular posts to date, getting lots of views every weekend even if it’s hot outside….

Review | Banyan Spinning Fields, Manchester

Posted on August 30, 2019February 5, 2020 by Laura

Manchester Pride this year was a blur of booze, glitter and falling over with my friends. I had a great time.. the bits I remember anyway. Having been inebriated since Friday afternoon, come the Sunday lunchtime I was pretty delighted to be eating a substantial meal, even if it did come with unlimited drinks I…

A week of food and drink in Birmingham #12

Posted on February 24, 2019May 21, 2019 by Laura

I had this vision that I was going to look absolutely banging in my bikini by the time my March getaway with friends came around. I’d frolic by the pool of our all inclusive somewhere in the Canary Islands, looking toned and fabulous, probably attached to a vodka drip and a bag of jambon Ruffles….

Sunday lunch | The Old Crown, Digbeth

Posted on January 6, 2019January 28, 2019 by Laura

Four adults, a baby and an overexcited spaniel walk into a pub… The Old Crown in Digbeth, to be precise. After a busy few weeks the plan was simple: a quiet Sunday lunch in a cosy pub. The beauty of having a small human in your squad is that you have to pre-plan, to some…

Independent bars, restaurants and events enjoyed over Christmas break in Birmingham

As well as eating my own body weight in cheese and turkey over the festive break in Birmingham, I’ve also visited lots of local places for drinks and food. Instead of a weekly roundup I’m starting 2019 with a quick post about the independent highlights between Christmas and New Year. Laghi’s Deli (Five Ways) My…

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…

A short post for you today about a recent trip to the Edwardian Tearooms for Sunday lunch. Found at the back of Birmingham Museum and Gallery, this beautiful lunch setting is an often overlooked (but well worth visiting) cafe in central Birmingham. Hidden right at the back of the ground floor, through the gift shop,…

Uninspiring Sunday lunch @ 1565 Restaurant, Park Regis Hotel

I’m a big fan of some of the Sunday lunch offerings in and around Birmingham city centre. There’s some fairly reasonably priced options within a few of the nicer hotels in the city (step forward Malmaison) and I visited 1565 Restaurant at Park Regis Hotel hoping for something quite special. The 4 star hotel –…

Hearty roast dinners @ The Red Lion, Hockley

I first visited The Red Lion one sunny Saturday last summer during a particularly awful bout of hangryitis. My husband (then fiancé) and I sat in the beer garden and tried some of the small plates, but vowed to return to try their famous roast dinners we kept hearing so much about. Fast forward (an…

Sunday dinner @ The Dark Horse, Moseley

I’ve found a new lunch deal worth checking out. I’ve found a new lunch deal worth checking out. If you’re over in Harborne during the week you can get your hands on a bargain takeaway lunch for less than a fiver at @thecodsscallops. Pick what small item you want with your chips (battered sausage, fish cake, cheese and onion patties etc) add a sauce (I went for gravy but you can have peas or curry instead) and grab a soft drink from the fridge. A lighter portion so you don’t fall asleep straight after eating and perfect for on the go - nice one 💪🏼
Do you know about the lunch deal at @the_oysterclu Do you know about the lunch deal at @the_oysterclub yet, because you really need to. 

For £24 you can enjoy two courses (start with these mussels in a smoked caviar sauce and thank me later) in one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Brum. 

Sit at the bar, enjoy a glass of fizz, feel smug that you’re getting a blinding deal in the heart of the city at one of our best independents. 

Available Tue-Fri 12-6pm.

Always happy to kick the week off with carbs so le Always happy to kick the week off with carbs so let’s talk about the ‘posh’ hot sandwiches from @1000tradesjq, shall we? 

Good lord, they are well fit. We tried two - this one is the State Side with slow cooked beef, fried gherkins, cheese and pickles, amongst some other gorgeous things. The filling was (unsurprisingly) delicious but that bread. Urgh that bread. So good. Focaccia levels unlocked, right there. 

That’s quite a lot of babble about a sarni but it was banging and I want you all to know about it. Swipe left for a porny close up that could even make a Tory MP blush. 

Have a lush week 🫶🏼
Last night I had one of my favourites meals of 202 Last night I had one of my favourites meals of 2022 so far thanks to @chapterbham in Edgbaston. We love it here. 

The spring a la carte menu offers up some truly lovely dishes, most notably this Cornish lamb, and the scallops with samphire. The most colourful plates of food, served by lovely people in a relaxed surrounding: perfect. 

Also, I’ve always banged on about how good the Bloody Mary is here but there’s a new contender in the margarita - hello gorgeous. 

So lucky to have this within a short walk from my flat. There’s also a great brunch menu and a new terrace has just opened on the front so you can enjoy drinks in the sunshine this summer.

Keen to hear what those of you who have been to Chapter think, let me know below. Have a gorgeous Sunday ❤️
Have you got your paws on @rourkespies yet? They’re so good - handmade, loads of variety and really generously packed little pies. They pop up at various artisan markets but they also have a bricks and mortar venue over in Kings Heath. If you like pies with interesting fillings, this is the trader for you. Have a happy bank holiday 👯‍♀️
My social battery is on 2% and I have nothing left My social battery is on 2% and I have nothing left to give. After a successful (but far too busy week) I’m elated to spend today on my sofa watching crap films and eating tasty things. And naps… so many naps. Have fun if you’re out enjoying the bank holiday Sunday vibes. Here’s a photo of the French dip from @beefontheblock because this is a food page and I like bread. Peace out ✌🏼

PIZZA / A @laghisdeli pizza is a thing of beauty. PIZZA / A @laghisdeli pizza is a thing of beauty. The fact that I can now scoff these on my balcony while soaking up the spring sunshine is an added bonus. This beauty went down particularly well with chilli oil to dip the crusts in, and a glass of chilled wine. Happy days. You can get delivery of pizzas like this and charcuterie boards (ideal for al fresco dining when it’s warm) through Deliveroo now, btw. In the words of Ginnie Lemon… fancy a sliiiiice?

RICE / Hope you’re all having a gorgeous bank ho RICE / Hope you’re all having a gorgeous bank holiday - this sunshine is giving me LIFE, let me tell you. I’ve brought you some new openings recently but I think it’s also important to remember your old trusted indies still exist and to give those you enjoy most some love. So with that in mind, here’s the Indonesian chicken fried rice from @ngopiuk, where the food is both delicious and excellent value. This massive pile of spicy rice topped with a fried egg (and served with prawn crackers) costs just £8. A great value lunch if you’re in the city centre and want a tasty, quick meal. Have a smashing weekend, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do 🥴😂
EGGS / You want to know one of the best brunch dis EGGS / You want to know one of the best brunch dishes in Brum?  The 7 minutes eggs from @caneatcafe in Stirchley. No ifs, no buts. Just perfectly jammy yolks and gochujang mayo slathered toast. Keeps you full all day and for £7.50 it’s also decent value. For the sake of the spirit of having a conversation, let me know you’re 3 top picks for brunch in and around the city below.
BURG / Checked out @herbertsyard for the first tim BURG / Checked out @herbertsyard for the first time at the weekend for a pal’s birthday - what a great place to spend a few hours scoffing. Great mix of street food traders scattered about the outside area and loads of room in doors for beers. Here’s a @thepattyfreaks burger to give you a taster of what you can get there. Hope everyone’s having a great week ✌🏼☀️
BLONDIE / As a rule I couldn’t give a toss about BLONDIE / As a rule I couldn’t give a toss about sugary stuff (puddings are rubbish, don’t @ me) but I’ll always make space in my salt-laden schedule for a blondie from @pausebirmingham. The brilliant @farahchaudry is not only one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met she’s also a bloody good baker, and the pop up she shares at @verbenakitchen with @roryjmcghie is a must-visit if you’re a fan of a coffee and cake vibe. Great people doing ace things - we love to see it. If you had to pick a cinnabuffin or a brownie which would you go for? Doesn’t matter tbh because you can get both and live a happy life. Enjoy 👍🏼❤️

I’ve got a pile of work to do (boo) but if I can escape later I’m going in search of gravy to sustain me for the Peaky Blinders finale which considering how meh this final season has so far been I haven’t got my hopes up for. 

Anyone got any guesses as to what happens? Mainly I just want someone to bump off that fascist posh bint, tbh, but I’ll settle for some good old fashioned violence. 

Will Arthur actually do *anything* except be off his face?

Was it even worth hiring Stephen Graham? 

Has Tom Hardy left his opera bunker yet? 

Will Michael’s tragic moustache finally lose the will to live? 

Has anyone checked on Billy’s poor testicles? 

So many unanswered questions….
(Ad - client) Did you know Edgbaston Village Artis (Ad - client) Did you know Edgbaston Village Artisan Market is back on Saturday 9th April! 

A great way to spend the day in Edgbaston Village, from 10-3 you’ll find lots of stalls packed with local traders selling fabulous food (like all this tasty regionally made cheese from Lightwood Cheese) drink, arts and crafts, jewellery and farmers market-style businesses selling fruit and veg, bakery, butchers’ produce and more. 

Fancy making a day of it? Once you’ve visited the market, enjoy favourites like Chapter, Loki, The High Field, Blue Piano and The Physician for drinks afterwards or shop at Neptune, OKA, BoConcept, KIN and LUX (all of which are dog friendly - I know you lot love to take the pooches).
