The Quest for Britains Best Breakfast
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. I do however like to vary my post-ride nourishment and when Mr Birmingham Breakfast club himself joined me it was decided that my breakfast was worthy of the review instead of […]
On my way to Decathlon at Wednesbury and stopped for breakfast at a cafe I’ve used in the past, but not for two years or so. It’s got new owners and has been refurbished since my last visit. Bright, light, and airy inside. From the counter area you can see […]
This is a tale of 2 halves – I am only judging on my second visit, (though I will briefly tell you about the first): Visit one was so bad, the owner came up to me and said ‘obviously, the next time breakfast is on me’. She then went on […]
Today’s breakfast, courtesy of that cafe on Digbeth High Street that keeps changing owners. It’s now called something to do with Peaky Blinders (of course), I forget what exactly. I didn’t ask for the beans separate, so I can’t complain about that, but the tons of tinned tomato juice definitely […]
Sometimes a breakfast is just what you need. This morning I was desperate for a breakfast, (there is a tiny chance that I may have had a few beers the night before. I slept in and missed the hotel breakfast – so I went out treking. No far from my […]
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 tried […]
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 […]
We LOVE a good Full English Breakfast. . When we are not eating a Full English, we are probably thinking about one. Individually, we love cycling, dogs and pub quizzes.
