LAST CHANCE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THE MELTDOWN PATTY MELTS! 🥪🧀

📍Stirchley, Birmingham

The @meltdownbham Patty Melts are BACK at @deadbeatbham , and if you missed them the first time around, now’s your chance!

We popped down to give them another try, and honestly, if you know @boneheadbham, you’ll know they don’t mess about when it comes to good food 🔥

I went for the Classic – a juicy smashed beef patty, double cheese, onions, pickles and their house sauce, all sandwiched together in one seriously satisfying melt 🤤

There’s also a Hot version for those who like a bit of a kick, and a cheesy veggie option too!

We paired ours with a side of salty fries and a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, because why not? 🍺🍟

If you’ve been meaning to try them, this is your sign – but tonight is your last chance 👀

UPDATE: Due to popular demand, the Patty Melts will be back at Deadbeat this Thursday 8th to Saturday 10th October 😍

I MET JASON MOMOA 😍🤯

Still not over Wednesday…WHAT IS LIFEEE?!

I was invited to @sancarlofumo for an afternoon of delicious pasta, cocktails and, well…Khal Drogo himself!! 😂😍

Yes, you read that right! I actually got to meet Jason Momoa (@prideofgypsies ), and I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this happened!

Meeting Gordon Ramsay AND Jason Momoa in the same year?! What a surreal experience! Definitely two moments I’ll be remembering for a very long time.

More about the food and cocktails coming soon, but for now… here’s my little moment with Jason! 🥹❤️ He seemed like such a genuinely lovely guy too! Sadly I did not manage to tell him that I come from the land where he married his Khaleesi 🤣

A huge thank you to @deliciouspr_ for inviting me to such a special event!

SIX MOSELEY RESTAURANTS IN ONE AFTERNOON 🤤

📍 Moseley, Birmingham, UK

PR invite - Last Sunday I went on a @restaurant_touringcompany food tour around Moseley, and I got to eat SO much 🤣

The tour took us around six brilliant Moseley restaurants - @chakana.restaurant @zindiyamoseley @satori.uk @tehranmoseley @thecubanembassy and @greek.aura_moseley - with five dishes, drinks and even a signature “Moseley Jazz” cocktail along the way!

Everyone is assigned to one of six groups, with each group following a different route and visiting the restaurants in a different order. Such a clever way to give everyone the full experience without overwhelming the restaurants!

It was such a fab way to try somewhere new - @satori.uk had been on my list for AGES - while also rekindling my love for another fave and reminding me that it had been far too long since my last visit to @chakana.restaurant 😍

Their ceviche is genuinely one of my favourite dishes ever!! 🤤 So fresh, zingy and packed with flavour. I really enjoyed the Pisco Sour too 🍸

The tour also encourages you to try things you might not usually order. The “Moseley Jazz” cocktail was definitely one of those for me - it was far too spicy for my taste and I probably wouldn’t order it again 🤣 But that’s part of the fun of trying something new!

It’s such a great way to support independents, discover new restaurants and perhaps try something you wouldn’t normally choose.

They’re currently aiming to run the tours bi-monthly, with the next ones exploring different neighbourhoods, so give @restaurant_touringcompany a follow to keep up with where they’re heading next 👀

I hear it’s Stirchley on 15 November, so save the date!

Which Birmingham neighbourhood would you like them to tour afterwards?

TAMWORTH’S #1 RESTAURANT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE 😍

📍 Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK

AD | Invite - We recently made the trip to @omarstabletamworth , found inside the @foxinndosthill , and we were so happy to discover that it was well worth the drive! 😍

Chef Omar brings Egyptian flavours and influences to beautifully presented British dishes, and everything felt that little bit special while still being generous and reasonably priced. It’s currently ranked number one on Tripadvisor too - a very well-earned spot!

To start, we tried the lamb kofta with baba ghanoush, pickled mint, molasses gel and crispy parsley, alongside the scallops with chicken jus and pickled grelots. I might have licked the plate after the scallops - the rich umami flavour was so moreish! 😂

We also enjoyed a side of homemade focaccia with the creamiest miso butter for only £5. It came with olives, olive oil and balsamic vinegar too - a little touch that made the Mediterranean in me feel right at home 🫒

For mains, we went for the duck breast with spiced hummus, dukkah-glazed carrots, duck sauce and the crispiest potato terrine. Such a brilliant and different take on the usual duck dish, with flavours that paired so well together!

We also had the 8oz aged rib-eye with triple-cooked chips, a duxelles-stuffed tomato and peppercorn sauce. That tomato was genuinely one of my favourite things of the entire evening - it was packed with flavour!

Of course, we had to make room for dessert! The cannoli came with white chocolate namelaka, a donut, coconut sorbet and chocolate sauce, while Omar’s Dubai Chocolate brought together kunafa, pistachio diplomat, chocolate sauce and pistachio ice cream 💚

We had such a lovely evening. The portions were generous, the prices were really good for the quality, and both the flavours and presentation had that fine-dining feel without the formality.

The team were so warm and friendly too, including Chef Omar himself. Definitely an independent to keep your eye on! ✨

They’re open Thursday-Saturday from 5.30-8.30pm and Sundays from 12-6pm. We definitely need to return and check out the Sunday roast next!

5K!!! 🥹🎂💛

What better way to celebrate 5,000 of you than attempting to bake a giant 5K cake?! 😂

Around a month ago I hit 5K followers, and as I was visiting Malta shortly afterwards, I finally had an excuse to attempt a cake I’d been wanting to make for ages!

And when I say attempt…this was definitely a labour of love 😂 Mum helped behind the scenes while I tried not to have a breakdown over transferring the cut cake and dealing with cream cheese frosting in 40°C Maltese heat 😂 But we got there, and I’m SO happy with how it turned out!

I started this page simply because I love food, travelling and sharing the places and experiences I enjoy - and somehow there are now over 5,000 of you following along. 🥹 I also LOVE baking, which I definitely don’t feature enough on here - that needs to change! 👀🍰

Thank you to every single person who follows, likes, comments, shares, saves or messages me - and especially those who’ve told me they visited somewhere because of my recommendation. It genuinely means more than you realise. 🫶🏼

A huge thank you as well to all the restaurants and brands I’ve had the opportunity to work with, and to the amazing independents I’ve discovered and supported along the way. Shouting about businesses and food I genuinely love is still one of my favourite things about this page. 💛

Here’s to 5K, plenty more food, travels, baking and probably plenty more chaos 😂

And of course, we ate the cake afterwards… it didn’t last long 🍋🎂

Would anyone like to see some behind-the-scenes of making it? Because it definitely didn’t go as smoothly as the photos suggest 😂

THANK YOU 🥹🫶🏼 And keep an eye out for a couple of giveaways to celebrate! 👀🎁

ONLY TWO MORE DAYS OF BANANA PUDDING! 🍌🍮

📍 McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, Cannock, UK

You can find @ohhoneyuk at @mcarthurglenwestmidlands seven days a week, but their banana puddings are only available until Friday before the autumn menu arrives!

You’ll spot their trailer shortly after walking into the outlet, in the central area by the water fountains ⛲️

My favourite was the Oh, Honey Classic - a smooth, thick and velvety banana pudding layered with vanilla custard cream, crushed vanilla cookies and fresh banana. I added Biscoff sauce and crushed Biscoff on top too…this was GORGEOUS! 😍

We also tried the Birthday Cake Pud, layered with vanilla custard cream, birthday cake sponge, raspberry jam and sprinkles 🎂 It was sweet, colourful and full of nostalgia!

There are loads of toppings and drizzles to choose from too, which you can add for 50p each.

Of course, we had to try one of their iced matchas as well 🍵 There are four flavours to choose from, and we went for the White Choc Blondie - made with white chocolate syrup and drizzle, then topped with vanilla pudding cold foam and a dusting of ceremonial-grade matcha.

This was the perfect first matcha for my partner…and he actually liked it! 😂

Fear not if you can’t make it before Friday though, because HOT COOKIE DOUGH is launching this weekend! Just in time for cosy season, served warm with a scoop of vanilla soft serve 🤤

Are you rushing over for one last banana pud, or waiting for the cookie dough? 👀

THE BEST CHICKEN BOWL I’VE EVER HAD 🔥

📍Longbridge, Birmingham, UK

I was already full… and then we ordered another one 😂

That’s how good this Chicken Bowl from @smokeyjoesbbq88 is 🤤

There’s still a few hours left in the day to catch @smokeyjoesbbq88 this weekend at @herbertsyard (though they’ll be back soon enough!)

Although we had a few of their dishes and always liked them - their mac & cheese is always one to shout about, for example - you NEED to try this ♥️

Dry rubbed, charred & smoked chicken thigh, creamed Cajun corn, pico de gallo, burnt pineapple salsa, lime & chilli. Honestly, the combination of flavours was unreal - smoky, sweet, spicy, tangy… it had EVERYTHING going on.

Does it ever happen to you where you’re full, but the food is so darn tasty that you keep on eating because it’s making you feel all sorts of things? 😂 This was definitely one of those times.

Also, I’m not always the biggest fan of corn (it really depends how it’s cooked), but this was definitely cooked expertly and in the best way possible! 🌽

Definitely one of those meals where I left already thinking about what I’d order next time 😂🔥

Have you tried Smokey Joe’s yet?

THE SOUTH EAST ASIAN SPOT I KEEP THINKING ABOUT 🇲🇾

📍 Moseley, Birmingham, UK

This week @lisapann23 are serving up Hainanese Chicken Rice as their special, and it’s not one to miss! 👀

Fragrant steamed rice served with tender poached chicken, garlic and ginger oil, and their homemade Hainanese chilli sauce. I absolutely loved this - it sounds simple, but it’s the kind of meal that’s so comforting and full of flavour.

We also shared one of their gorgeous platters with a bit of everything on it 😍 It had:
🍗 Honey & plum glazed chicken wings
🫜 Homemade radish cake made with rice flour and white radish
🍤 Crispy chicken & prawn lor bak marinated with five spice, pepper, carrots and water chestnuts
🥭 Refreshing Nyonya mango salad with homemade sambal, herbs, ginger torch flower and lime

There was also freshly made green and red chilli sauces. Every single thing was packed with flavour, but I have to give a special shoutout to the mango salad because WOW… absolutely incredible. The chicken wings were also so good 🤤

Lisa & Pann is such a cosy independent restaurant tucked away in Moseley, serving authentic South East Asian food that genuinely feels like a hidden gem. They’ve recently had council approval to extend their opening hours until 9pm, and they’re open Wednesday to Sunday ✨

The service was just as lovely as always, and it was so nice catching up with Lisa and Pann again. They always make you feel completely at home whenever you visit.

The portions are generous, the prices are so reasonable, and the meat is halal - we left absolutely stuffed 😂

We finished with their pandan cheesecake served with roasted grated coconut and Gula Melaka caramel brown sugar. This is a MUST order for me every time I come, along with a Kopi coffee ☕️ It never disappoints.

Thank you Lisa, Pann and the rest of the team for another wonderful meal 💛 It’s always such a pleasure seeing you, and this is a place I’ll keep recommending to anyone looking for amazing food in Birmingham.
