Pulperia: the best value set lunch in Birmingham?

Posted on October 6, 2020October 6, 2020 by Laura

Last weekend I’m pretty sure I had the best value lunch available in the city centre thanks to Pulperia at Brindleyplace. The £30 set lunch menu includes three courses with half a bottle of wine and is undeniably ridiculously good value – and I want you to know about it before owner Aktar realises this…

Exploring Edgbaston Village – Loki Wine & The High Field

Posted on July 13, 2019August 5, 2019 by Laura

* 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

Posted on July 7, 2019August 5, 2019 by Laura

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….

Set menu lunch | Bank, Brindleyplace

Posted on May 1, 2019September 26, 2019 by Laura

Living a few minutes walk from it, my main gripe with Brindleyplace remains its reliance on chain restaurants to please the masses. Of course there’s a few independents and small chains knocking about, but largely the busy square houses chains churning out boring, mediocre meals – usually with a permanent discount voucher attached to it….

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…

A week of food and drink in Birmingham #8

Posted on December 8, 2018December 14, 2018 by Laura

I was a total glutton last week, which is great for the food blog but probably pretty awful for my weight. Who needs a waist anyway…? This post includes a few places a little further afield, but I think once you see the grub you’ll forgive me. The Meat Shack, City Centre If you followed…

Pub grub | The Green House, Sutton Coldfield

Posted on December 4, 2018January 28, 2019 by Laura

When I moved to Birmingham after university, way back when in 2006, I accidentally made a lot of friends that originated from Sutton Coldfield. I considered them posh because they didn’t sound like me, and they all had lovely shiny hair like Grand National winners. The girls I met liked getting drunk on Tuesdays, short…

Feel good food | The Butcher’s Social, Henley-in-Arden

Posted on November 30, 2018February 17, 2019 by Laura

Last Saturday I realised two things: 1) I absolutely loathe the German Market in Birmingham, and 2) Henley-in-Arden is much more fun than I thought. While the town has an obvious aesthetic charm, my visits here have always been brief and in a solely professional capacity. I’d visited fleetingly during the day when the town…

Brazilian rodizio bar & grill | Fazenda, Colmore Row

Posted on November 19, 2018January 28, 2019 by Laura

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 #4

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…

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…

New York steakhouse vibes @ Jailbird, Colmore Row

Posted on June 18, 2018June 20, 2018 by Laura

My first visit to Jailbird came after a stressful day at work thanks to Love Island (don’t ask) and a near death experience with a motorbike (again, don’t ask), so by the time I arrived at the restaurant I was ready for a drink or five. In the space once occupied by the now defunct…

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (with no access to social media) for the last month you’ll be aware The Ivy Birmingham has now opened on Temple Row. Truth be told, there was so much showboating when The Ivy Birmingham opened its doors last month I was sort of put off going for a…

Argentinian steak and wine @ Fiesta del Asado, Edgbaston

Posted on April 15, 2018April 16, 2018 by Laura

Inspired by the food of Buenos Aires and serving up some of the best steak in Birmingham, Fiesta del Asado is somewhere you’ll be hard pressed not to have heard of by now. Found on Hagley Road, Fiesta del Asado has made a name for itself as an oasis for steak lovers. Part of the…

Huge congratulations to @passingfancies.bar and @c Huge congratulations to @passingfancies.bar and @couchstirchleyb30 on their wins at the @classbarmag awards last night. Brilliant people doing brilliant things to make living in Brum all the better. Proud as fuck, as always 🖤
Soi 1268 is now open and it’s absolutely wonderf Soi 1268 is now open and it’s absolutely wonderful. From the same babes that bring you @saibuddhabelly, this new Stirchley restaurant is just delightful. You can expect some of your old favourites (hello beef massaman, I love you) and new dishes like the spicy flavour bomb that is the pad cha het. Mushrooms have never been that sexy: fact. Have no doubt this place will be very popular - big love to the team behind it ♥️
ad/press trip | Had a bloody lovely time up in (an ad/press trip | Had a bloody lovely time up in (an usually sunny) Manchester yesterday to meet the @bundobust gang ahead of their launch in Brum at the start of June. 

Aside from the fact that we had a glorious time drinking all the beers and cocktails (and shots, buts that’s a story for another time) the food was delicious and the people behind this concept couldn’t be nicer human beings. 

Here’s a haphazard glimpse at what you can expect when Bundo Brum lands - long story short it’s fab Indian street food that happens to be all veggie but manages to not make that their entire personality. Lush picky bits, perfect alongside bevs including their own beers. 

I’m honestly really excited to see this launch in our city and I’m equally thrilled the old Pint Shop site is FINALLY going to be something affordable, accessible and delicious. I hope you love this as much as I do when it opens ♥️ 

Thanks to @whittleldn for organising a really great day. To the train home reprobates: let’s never speak of that again 💀🤣

Thirsty Thursday klaxon! Hello and welcome to the Thirsty Thursday klaxon! Hello and welcome to the Jewellery Quarter @barrelstorejq. Lots of @atticbrewco beers as you’d expect plus cocktails. Funky little space, nice people behind the bar, decent tunes. Ideally located to link up other beery places like The Wolf and North for a crawl. Currently open Thursday to Sunday, food will be coming soon. Cheers to you, TBS ♥️
ad | One for the carnivores today! Here’s a litt ad | One for the carnivores today! Here’s a little something to whet your whistles from @barandblock that’s just opened at Exchange Square. This is a big ol’ restaurant with plenty of outdoor space too. There’s a host of signature special dishes for the non steak fans (including some lovely sounding stuff for the pescatarians out there) but my eyes were firmly on the beef. The fillet arrived a beautiful medium rare and it was nice to be able to choose an accompanying side other than chips. Long live the jacket spud! Loved the mega rich blue cheese sauce, too. I would say, the small plates weren’t particularly noteworthy (the prawns were a bit overcooked and the scallops needed to see more of the pan) and I think the mains could be presented better, but overall it’s fair-priced city centre offering with plenty of variety (the menu is massive) and handily it’s open 7 days a week. Bonus: there’s 2 for 1 on selected cocktails from 5-7pm, too. Go for happy hour, eat a steak, skip the starters 👍🏼
Happy hump day! I slept for 13 hours and feel like Happy hump day! I slept for 13 hours and feel like a new woman after a mad week of birthdays, parties and hens. Speaking of which, it’s not every day you get to go on a hen with one of the best private chefs in Birmingham, let’s be honest. Shout out to @_tuttoapposto (otherwise known as Ang) for filling us with delicious treats including the world’s horniest lasagne and her mahoosive arancini. She’s also an absolute diamond of a human so give her a follow ♥️ Have a good week!
People bang on a lot about @tropea_harborne being People bang on a lot about @tropea_harborne being brilliant. They’re right. Faultless from start to finish when I visited last week, but I’d like to give a special shout out again to the courgette flowers stuffed with goats cheese and mint (that will continue to live rent free in my head) and the onglet steak - I’d probably marry it if it wasn’t frowned upon.
Felt a bit fancy over my birthday and took myself Felt a bit fancy over my birthday and took myself to @restaurantadams for lunch. Opted for the 5 courses (you can have 3 or 7 if you prefer) you can see here if you swipe through - the menu is at the end for a breakdown of the dishes. 

The main reason I wanted to post this is to thank the guys working that day for making me feel special but not weird for being a solo diner. I’ve talked a lot about this in the past and believe firmly anyone should be able to eat a meal out comfortably alone - whether that be a fast food joint or a Michelin star restaurant. 

I loved this lunch and the service made it extra special. Big love to Team Adams ♥️
38 and feeling great 🥳 I mean, let’s be rea 38 and feeling great 🥳 

I mean, let’s be real: I’m hungover as fuck. Buttt I had the most delicious day celebrating my birthday with some of my favourite humans. Thanks to all those that came out to get me sloshed (I took no photos, sign of a good night) and for all the bday love here 🖤 You made an old emo lady very happy. 

I’ve woken up with all of my make up still on and no idea what happened after midnight, so yay me! Swipe for some classic instagram v reality 😬

Started the fun a bit early today with my mum and delicious things at @arch13bar washed down with fizz. Then I got my spa on and paid a stranger to rub me up for a bit while I napped. Put this through as a work expense - can’t wait to argue with my accountant about it next year 🤣 Anyway, a lovely b’day eve was had. Am going to make a shit load of pasta and go to bed early else Santa won’t visit or something. Baiiii✌🏼

Back from the most gorgeous 3 days in Alicante enj Back from the most gorgeous 3 days in Alicante enjoying lots of sunshine, tapas and cocktails with la babe @philipellis. Despite apparently being incapable of being in bed before 2am, it’s been a right old lol and full of lush grub. 

Had a lot of messages about the apartment while out there - tbf it was absolutely beautiful and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Right in the heart of the old town, two mins walk from the marina and surrounded by loads of bars, cafes and restaurants. The attic apartment is spacious and modern inside but it’s the awesome views from the massive roof terrace (of the cathedral and castle) that make it so special. We loved staying here 🥰 Link to the Air BnB listing is here (https://tdy.lol/LSPqs) if you want to look into renting it. 

Highly recommend visiting said castle for the views but be aware it’s up a mountain. You can get a lift for a few euros (from the seafront) if you can’t be arsed to do the 90+ min walk uphill. Oh and don’t be a div like me and wear flip flops - the castle grounds are steep, rocky and slippy in parts. My hungover ass was humbled, let me tell you. 

Anyway, here’s the highlights reel including our smug golden hour snaps and loads of food… like, shit loads of food. Stick to small plates and paella on the side streets (away from the marina/beach where it’s ££ and the service isn’t as nice) and you’ll have a proper lovely time. 

Oh and girls: don’t take heels. The streets around old town are steep and many are cobbled/badly lit - stick with flats✌🏼

Here endeth the sunshine spam, I’m as cold and miserable as everyone else again now. Adiós, amigos.
