The quest to find the best breakfast in and around Brum
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 […]
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, […]
Bearwood Breakfast is served any time. This little cafe is right by the busy 82 bus stop Into town so always has a hustle about it. Breakfast today was your standard Full English with a choice of toast, fried bread or bread and butter. A huge plus as not […]
After being invied to try out the new brunch menu at Gusto, I found myself rather hungry and wanting a Full English. We tried Lost and Found to find it closed, then we went for Alchemist. I am not one for gimicks, so this place was never going to be […]
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 […]
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.
