Edwards, Birmingham 31/07/15

I was invited by Andrew at Food Birmingham to go and try Edwards in Erdington, I was intrigued as I had never heard of it before but very much looking forward to it! It was a surprise when we arrived at a furniture store, Cookes but I was informed that the restaurant was above it, after looking at the menu online I was excited to try the food as it sounded very good.

Nosh & Quaff, Birmingham, 29/07/15

I had been waiting for this launch for weeks! The much anticipated Nosh & Quaff opened in Birmingham. Ever since I went to Burger & Lobster in London I fell in love with the concept and I thought Birmingham needed something similar, and here is it! It is a different concept in the sense that in Nosh & Quaff you get menus and they have more choices than just burger or lobster but it is similar and I couldn't wait to go to the blogger launch night!

Arroyo Honda, Spain, 24/07/15

We went for a weeks holiday to Spain, staying in a town called Casares staying in Toms mum and her partners apartment over there. After a difficult few weeks, we were grateful of the time away and especially to celebrate Tom's birthday on 24th July. The apartment was just beautiful, over looking the sea and it had its own private pool, with the weather being over 30C everyday - I was not complaining. It was Toms birthday on the Friday and I wanted to go somewhere very special to make sure he had a good birthday. Tom's mum has mentioned this certain restaurant to us before and I couldn't wait to try it. Arroyo Honda in Casares, it is right on top of a mountain and it has beautiful views, after looking the menu up online, I was so excited to try it!

Fukuoka, Shirley, 18/07/15

I'm back .. again! This is now the 3rd time I've been to Fukuoka in Shirley and its been amazing each time. Me and my best friend Jayne decided to take my boyfriend, Tom for a nice meal. He had a very hard few days after his best friend passed away on 11/07/15 - which has been very testing on both of us and Dave will be truly missed forever. Sushi is one of his favourites and we knew this would cheer him up a little bit.

Sakana, Manchester, 11/07/15

The next part of Jaynes birthday present was afternoon tea with a twist, I was getting fed up of buying her the same afternoon tea all the time - so this time I decided to investigate and I found Sakana in Manchester, they do Sushi afternoon tea, just the thought of it sounded amazing and I couldn't wait!

Bills, Manchester, 11/07/15

I love road trips and this time it was Manchester with my best friend, Jayne. For her birthday in June I bought her a trip to Manchester to go to Sushi Afternoon Tea and a day of shopping. Once we got off the train we were both starving and needed some breakfast, I love Bills but had never had their breakfast before so was excited to see what it was all about!

En Place, Birmingham 09/07/15

I had been excited about this ever since the last night I went to. En Place pop-up restaurant was back for their third time. I couldn't wait after the food was so amazing last time. It was at the same location, 6/8 Kafe in Millennium Point.

Elma, Leamington - 02/07/15

I love new restaurants, this time a Turkish restaurant in Leamington, Elma - I had seen it on Trip Advisor and it had amazing reviews and has now been voted number 7! I love Turkish food but very rarely see any restaurants in the West Midlands, but after reading the reviews I knew I had to go. I text my friend Jayne, who works in Leamington and we set a date …

Opus, Birmingham, 01/07/15

Well, its July - that came round fast! This is another restaurant I have been wanting to try for ages, Opus at Cornwall Street in Birmingham. Opus in Birmingham is a fine dining restaurant in Birmingham. Their a la carte is pretty expensive but they offer a very good value 'market menu' which is two courses for £14.00 and three courses for £16.00 - which is a very good deal and I was very excited to try it as the menu online looked delicious!
