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 […]
Lima – London
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 […]

The Butchers Social – Henley in Arden
Mothers! You’ve all got one, they might be lovely, they might be horrid, they might be dead, but whatever the circumstance – you’ve got one, get over it. I myself have one, and she has one too. The one belonging to her is my GRANDmother – she acquired this label because she is over 14 […]
Two good, two bad – January 2018
I’ve done a fair bit of eating and drinking over the past few months but frankly, haven’t been bothered to blog about it – I can only apologise. Please, for the love of Christ, forgive me. It’s not really fair to compare the four places I’m about to write about, but then when did I ever […]
