The Quest for Britains Best Breakfast
Dont be put off by this ugly 1970’s building, (which used to be a garage, apparently?) It was a Sunday morning, after a great Saturday night. The type of night when only a Full English Breakfast will do. We were advised that Chelle’s was the place to go. 2 of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]

My friend Chris and I cycled into Brum with the hope of finding a decent breakfast. We tried all around Digbeth for somewhere new, but we failed, (though did see some amazing graffiti). We ended up coming to the city centre and ended up in the Brasshouse, an old pub […]
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 […]
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 […]
