The Wilderness – Birmingham

Review of The Wilderness restaurant in Birmingham.

Tropea – Harborne

A review of Tropea Italian restaurant in Harborne, Birmingham.

Recently, I had a baby and got a new job. “Don’t boast, Rob, it’s unbecoming.” I’m not boasting, I’m setting the scene, giving context, and confirming that my testicles are fully operational. With the start date of the job inching closer, I decided I should treat myself to a day out. A day of soloContinue reading “Jöro – Sheffield”

Albert Schloss / Purecraft

Schloss – sounds like what I’d expect the mop bucket at a German brothel to be called. “Friedrich, fetch the Schloss, the bukkake party has ended,” that sort of thing. It’s not though, it’s German for castle. Castles are big buildings designed to protect the people inside from attack.

Butchers Social – Dorridge

Recently, Salt Bae said, “Now everybody wants to be a butcher because of me. Now, if you ask a kid, they want to be Salt Bae. They see me as an idol.

What I do know is this was my favouriteContinue reading “Skosh – York”

Roots – York

Tommy Banks, sounds a bit like cockney rhyming slang doesn’t it? “I’m just popping to the allotment for a Tommy Banks.” = “I’m off to the shed for a wank.” There was, fortunately, no masturbating during my visit to Roots, mainly because Tommy wasn’t there. Full disclosure: I actually booked this meal because I’d beenContinue reading “Roots – York”

Rattle Owl – York

The grand old Duke of York, what an indecisive bastard. Not like me, I’m mega decisive. How decisive exactly? Well, take this for example: My lady wife spent her 30th birthday in Lockdown uno, and her 31st in lockdown tres, so I DECIDED to take her away for the weekend once we were vacc’ed upContinue reading “Rattle Owl – York”
