The quest to find the best breakfast in and around Brum
I met my son Jack for breakfast at Orientee Bakery – as a good friend of mine and one half of Out In Brum, pointed me to a blog post by Bite Your Brum – pointing out a new breakfast venue. I rose to the challenge. Its in Dale End. […]
On the edge of Ventura retail park in Tamworth is KFC and Costa. Next door to Costa is Roasters. The walls and signage shout out that its a family owned business, extablished in 1992 and they have 2 sites, here and George Street, (I didnt know). I have never […]
So I have gone pescatarian and done away with bacon and sausage (madness you scream as you nearly drop your iPhone into your builders tea). Well there it is. I won’t get into why I’ll just deliver my verdict on the vegetarian option at this well decorated cafe. On the […]
So these guys are pretty hot on social media and have asked me on several occasions to visit – so I thought I would. Firstly, the interior. Hipster. You know the place. Corrugated iron on some of the wall. Industrial lighting. Industrial pipes coming out of the walls holding up […]
I was visiting my mum and decided I needed to try a Newquay Breakfast. Its not exactly Brum, but a breakfast is still worth checking out. After walking up the high street, I found Andys Cafe. It was not busy when I got in and I was greeted by a […]
The image above is irrlelvant in this review, as I didnt go to buy the cafe, I had the breakfast delievered to me. How great is that? They advertise and promote it on Just Eat, their breakfast menu is below: We were told that it was going to be 30 […]
I was looking for a new venue to try and I got a Tweet from @cgscafebrum asking me to visit their establishment. The following week, I popped along, (again, riding my bike). Its quite a small place, with an open kitchen. It was pleasingly clean. Sharron, the owner is a […]
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 […]
This place used to be called Katies and I was a big fan. The breakfast there was superb, (https://wp.me/p9BOzx-1xW), gaining 8/10 fried eggs. This is the same cafe, the same layout, but a bit older and more tired looking. The ‘problem’ with Katies was that everything was freshly cooked, including […]
Im Simon. I LOVE a good Full English Breakfast. . When I am not eating a Full English, I cycle, drink beer, wine and spirits and moan a lot.
