The quest to find the best breakfast in and around Brum
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. […]
I was in a real hurry to meet someone and saw this place and thought I would give it a go. I didnt have time for a proper full English, so opted for a small one. This consisted of a perfectly fried egg, single sausage, single bacon a ramekin of […]
I have no idea why I ended up at 2 different venues for breakfast in the same area, but sometimes, thats how it goes. I was driving around, looking for somewhere to eat and the only cafe I found was Goodfilllers, (which I ate at last week), then this one. […]
Another accidental breakfast. I was in the area, thought I would stop for a cuppa and next thing I knew, I was eating a Full English…. It happens. As with a lot of places these days, the menu was on the wall. I went for the Full English and a […]
Let me start by saying I had refused to take my wife here becuase of the reviews on TripAdvisor. They average 3 stars, however nearly all of the complaints were about the staff and their attitude and ambivilence to the customer. I didnt want to risk taking my wife becuase […]
This was my second attempt to get a breakfast here. On my first visit, they were shut, (no idea why?), so I ended up at a Beefeater. We were slightly more successful this time, with it being open and a few customers already in there. I went with my wife […]
Lichfield is a quaint place. Its historical and on a super sunny Sunday on a bank holiday weekend, I found myself there at breakfast time. The perfect opportunity to sit out in the sun and enjoy what I still think is the best meal on the planet; a Full English […]
Walking into The Ivy Birmingham apprehensively as I didn’t feel I’d dressed correctly for this level of venue we were met by the host team who were the best part of the experience. Three immaculately turned out ladies with bags of personality who made me feel immediately at ease in […]
OK, a few weeks ago, I was invited for breakfast, just because I blog about breakfasts. Makes sense, I suppose, gaining extra exposure to those that follow/like etc. It doesnt happen often, I rarely get invited to free things – but when I do, I make a point of telling […]
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.
