The quest to find the best breakfast in and around Brum
I have never been a fan of garden centres, they seem to sell any old crap in a massive warehouse. They all seem to have overpriced cafe’s now, too. Today, I went to Solihull, to see what the breakfast was like. I wasn’t overly impressed…. Notcutts Menu Firstly, there are […]
I thought I would try somewhere a bit off the beaten track for me, and ended up in Moseley, (over an hour away). Its a nice enough area with lots of independents, which cheered me up no end. We walked in and sat down. There was a guy with an […]
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 […]
Its a chain – but I thought I would give it a go anyway. The setting is beautiful. Mulberry Walk in Mere Green. Freezing cold outside, sunny blue sky and me sat inside a big restaurant watching the world go by. Sitting in corner away from everyone else, we ordered […]
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 […]
I have been asked a few times by the Wellington Hotel to try out their breakfast. After a rather enjoyable evening, the night before, a Full English was exactly what I needed. Its an unusual place. A handsome building, stood proudly on the corner of Birmingham’s Gay District, on the […]
We stayed with friends and went for breakfast at a local cafe, just a mile or so down the snowy canalpath. It was idyllic. There has obviously been a lot of money spent here, its lovely. Theres a great outdoors seating area, next to the canal, but as it was […]
I took a little one here to spend a bit of time together and enjoy a breakfast. She is just 6 years old. I wanted to go to another venue that stated it was open from 09:00, however, it wasnt, (it was still shut when we returned home, nearly 2 […]
I am a keen cyclist. This place is cycle heaven. There is a bike shope downstairs and its very bike themed upstairs, (with a penny farthing, a Brompton and a hybrid bike hanging from the ceiling). The building is amazing – and right on the river. The service was rather […]
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.
