Opus – Birmingham
Wednesday – it rolls around once a week without fail, whether you like it or not. You get through Tuesday, but then BANG Wednesday. You’ve still got three more days at work to complete before you get the two where you’re allowed to do with as you want. When I say ‘two days to do […]

Folium – Birmingham
Folio, folias, foliat, foliamus, foliates, foliant. LATIN – glorious. If that was Latin, and I’m almost certain it isn’t, perhaps it could mean: ‘I eat at Folium’ ‘You eat at Folium’ ‘He eats at Folium’ ‘We eat at Folium’ ‘They eat at Folium’ If after reading this review you decide you want to eat at […]
Lina Stores – London
I like Italian food quite a lot. I like the fact it’s at its best when simple and made by people who know what they’re doing. I rarely go out to eat it though, as so often it’s bad. Not bad like inedible, just bad because I could have bought all the ingredients myself and […]
Jailbird – Birmingham
When I heard Nosh & Quaff no longer existed, and Jailbird had taken its place, I was very pleased. I was very pleased because the name ‘Nosh & Quaff’ made me want to rip my eyeballs out. Seems excessive doesn’t it? Well, let me tell you a little anecdote and see if you still feel […]

Can Peruvian food cure a hangover?
Little Blackwood – Moseley
‘Little Blackwood’… sounds a bit like a very niche category of pornography doesn’t it? It’s not, it’s a restaurant in Moseley. I actually went about a month or so ago on the day it opened, but I never got round to writing a review. Sometimes these things just happen – often for reasons outside of […]
Purnell’s bistro – Birmingham
I’m about to blow your mind, seriously, sit down before you read this next bit. I just realised that ‘Glynn’ is ‘Lynn’ with a G at the front. Had you ever considered that? I hadn’t. Now think of all the other potential baby names just sat there waiting for use: Glaura Glouise Glily Glisa Glinda […]
Peel’s – Hampton-in-Arden
Lots of dashes in that title, not very easy on the eye. I wouldn’t blame you if you stopped reading there. Although, if you just read that sentence – you did keep reading, and if you stop at this point I will blame you… anyway, shall we get on with it? “So, for your 28th […]
Absurd Bird – Exeter
The only thing absurd about this place is its food.
