This review is by Paul Hibbert. Paul has his own blog, which can be found here: www.rubusmaven.wordpress.com He can be found on Twitter here: @pbhibbert So, what do you need when seven of your have completed a muddy cold parkrun in Leamington, and are ready to wonder around the NEC […]
We had to go to Bournemouth overnight and found the Derby Manor. They had good reviews and it looked nice. It was also very cheap. The room was big and had a lavish bathroom – it was spot on – but over to the breakfast…. It was served in the […]
Our annual visit to choose a Christmas tree and have breakfast in the bistro. There’s a shop downstairs full of interesting stuff like wines, beers, preserves, chutneys, cheeses etc – plus lots of gift ideas. The bistro is up the stairs at the back. Must be nearly 15 years since […]
This isn’t a new place for me as I visit The Harvester in Boldmere most weeks after a Saturday morning bike ride for breakfast.

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 […]
