A quick post today regarding a recent visit I had to The Lenchford Inn. Technically this place isn't in Birmingham (there's nothing technical about it; it's in Worcestershire) but it's a lovely riverside setting for dinner, so I thought I'd pop a bit of information on here in case it's of interest/use to anyone. The… Continue reading The Lenchford Inn, Worcester
After a brilliant, but incredibly busy, weekend I was feeling a little bit sorry for myself at the start of last week. Don't get me wrong, most of it was self inflicted (my hen do was epic; I thought I was dying until Wednesday) but I was most definitely in need of a post-weekend pick… Continue reading Steak club @ Bar + Block
With my hen do this weekend coming I had every intention of having a 'quiet one' on Saturday, but instead I accepted an invitation to a bloggers event at Gaucho. The coveted Electro Brunch - a weekly all you can eat and drink thrill ride - has been on my 'to do' list since I visited… Continue reading Electro Brunch @ Gaucho
Having meticulously planned a weekend of surprises for my future husband - including a visit from 6 of his good friends from back home - I was feeling kind of smug with myself recently. I was pretty convinced in advance I'd arranged a fairly perfect weekend for Ian, but it managed to get even better… Continue reading Steak and cocktails @ Mr White’s English Chophouse
Despite being an almost married woman now, let it be known I went on my fair share of dates when I was a Single Sally. Oh yes! I was quite the expert as it goes and even wrote a weekly blog about my experiences trying to find love in this fair city, but that's a… Continue reading Bloggers go dating @ Siamais

The two-day event - which annually takes over Victoria Square - took place over the 30th June and 1st July, and featured stalls from some of the most popular… Continue reading Photos from Colmore Row Food Festival
The heatwave that's hit Birmingham in the past week has been glorious, but I have to say my poor pale skin was quite delighted to escape the sunshine for an hour on Tuesday. With a trip to the cinema to see the preview of Baby Driver at Cineworld (bloody brilliant, btw) later on that night, Ian… Continue reading Pre-cinema grub @ Bacchus Bar
There are very few things in life I love more than steak and red wine (sorry Ian) so I was beyond excited to be invited to attend the Beef and Malbec Masterclass at Gaucho this week. An exclusive event for press and foodie bloggers, the intimate evening presented a wonderful opportunity to meet Gaucho’s Master… Continue reading Beef and Malbec Masterclass @ Gaucho
I've never been much of a gambler, but when we visited Las Vegas (and subsequently booked our wedding!) in October last year I got quite a taste for Blackjack. With our forthcoming nuptials in Sin City at the forefront of mind, I was delighted to be invited to Broadway Casino to check out their Italian… Continue reading Place your bets: The Restaurant, Broadway Casino
