Review – Subway (Harborne)
I was on fun time website Twitter.com the other day when I saw a furore about a Times food columnist being paid to write a review of the food at Wetherspoons. Always one to jump on a bandwagon I thought I’d go and eat at a place not renowned for serving good food and then […]

Review: Dirty Bones
When someone says let’s go and eat at ‘Dirty Bones’, the first thing that comes to mind is of course Richard III.
Review: Yeah! Burger
