And they let you in?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Just reading the posts about Hickory's, I wonder if the building work has started after the fire, it's supposed to reopen in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 if its reopening in the summer then they must be using the existing structure, no way have they got time for a full demo / rebuild, it'll be really tight even if they could use the existing frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Bump. Me and the missus both love watching cooking programmes and the other night she mentioned that she'd love to go to a top class restaurant, bingo, xmas present sorted. The issue I'm having is that every michelin starred restaurant I've searched so far are tasting menus and the daft mare doesn't like fish. I've been to Simpsons in brum a few times and i think its fantastic, but as i went with an ex my mrs won't go there (don't ask). So I'm looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance.

welnik Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 U.C.B. Michelin starred without the prices though! Although it's tricky to get in , might be fully booked , the food is amazing. I know it's a college, but my word it's ace. We try and go there maybe a dozen times a year with different friends, and they all love it. If you work in town, then go and try the lunch menu. http://www.ucb.ac.uk/restaurants/the-atrium.aspx Cheers Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm exactly the same missus doesn't eat fish so that's Adams which is meant to be the best but I think only does a set menu out the window have a look at purnells brummie tapas, purnells in general is awesome turners have lost their star after changing to what they said wasn't a Michelin friendly menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks guys. Just to add, a michelin star isn't essential to be honest, i just mentioned that as its obviously the yard stick. Aswell as not liking fish, i feel myself and my girlfriend also have a different idea of what constitutes a top class restaurant. For my girlfriend "celebrity" means it must be good.

Turners at 69 in Harborne is decent. The chef got Michellin stars in city centre (Turners), then decided to keep high quality but move away from the taster menu and go a bit cheaper so moved out to Harborne. Baraset Barn out in Stratford is also very good, not won the michellin star, but I've been a couple of times and always had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Always had a good meal at Red Lion out in Earlswood. Barnt Green Inn food is always excellent. White Swan in Edgbaston by botanical gardens. My fave place though is the HoneyBee out by Droitwich. Bit of a family/run of the mill place but absolutely great steaks!

Rugeley Villa Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Went for a Indian last night at Little India in Barton-Under-Needwood. Got to be one of the best Indians in the county. Worth checking out if you're out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 My Parents went to Carters of Moseley on Friday (a gift I brought them for Christmas). They said it was one of, if not the best meal they've ever had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
