The quest to find the best breakfast in and around Brum
My friend Chris and I cycled into Brum with the hope of finding a decent breakfast. We tried all around Digbeth for somewhere new, but we failed, (though did see some amazing graffiti). We ended up coming to the city centre and ended up in the Brasshouse, an old pub […]
Just up the road from the Eight Foot Grocer in the Jewellery Quarter is a tiny cafe. It has 4 seats, (it would be a crush if they were all ocupied). It serves that classic combination of Full English and various South Eastern Asian Dishes, like Chicken Katsu Curry, Chicken with […]
Up a back street in Tamworth, you will find Poachers. Its discretely hidden away, opposite an Italian and a hairdressers. I chose this place as I hadn’t heard of it, even though its only a few miles from where I live. I was pleasantly surprised. Its very small – but […]
OK, so its not exactly Birmingham, however, when I eat a breakfast thats this good, I feel duty bound to report back on it. Its a lovely B and B run by Mark and Simon. They really care. Mark was mainly front of house and Simon was in the kitchen. […]

You get over the fact that the signage is well and truly past its best. This place is run by Jane. It is very rare that you meet anyone that has been running a cafe for 15 years. With Jane, you will. She was amazing. By the time we left, […]
Birmingham is becoming a hotspot for a deliciously different hipster breakfast. I have reviewed several brunch experiences recently, but have to say that Wayland’s Yard (which opened this month) has flown to the top of my list for City Centre recommendations. Located on Bull Street (just over the way from […]
Breakfast can become boring. For the last 4-5 weeks I have been starting my weekdays in various hotels in the vicinity of Dublin Airport – I’ve been working from our office in that area. Typical continental or Irish breakfast in hotels becomes tedious. For the last couple of weeks I […]
Old Dresser Cafe is a lovely independent venue in Bearwood not far off Hagley Road. Styled with quaint furniture and trinkets that wouldn’t look out of place in your favourite grandmas house. Rich and Rob run the business as if they were welcoming you into their homes and service sets […]
