The Plough really has to be up there as one of the best pubs in Birmingham. I went recently for a…read moremeal on the 2-4-1 Pizza Monday and it was fantastic. Even though it was a Monday, the place was packed so I would recommend booking if you're going for a meal - we very nearly didn't get a table. The decor in The Plough is a stylish mix of traditional and urban, and has some great feature points. There's also an outside beer garden which looked great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even though they were clearly run off their feet. There is a huge selection of drinks as you'd expect, and the food menu was also vast. The food also caters well to different dietry requirements such as vegetarian and gluten free, which is always great to see from a pub. The pizza options were creative and offered something a little different. My tuna, anchovi, watercress and olive pizza was perfect, and everyone in my group really enjoyed their choice. They are also extremely big, but they're happy to give you a take-out box at the end for any left-overs. The 2-4-1 pizza deal made it really good value for money, and they also do a 2-4-1 burger deal on a Tuesday. My whole group was really impressed with The Plough - it seems to be one of those rare pubs that has hit the nail on the head with what makes a 'posh pub' work - down to earth service, laid back environment but absolutely fantastic food.

The Plough made such a good impression on me I just had to go back. I love the area, the pub, and…read morethe menu. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way. Shortly after finding a table in the late morning the crowds came in. If you plan on coming with a large group I recommend calling ahead to get reservations. They were serving the breakfast/brunch menu during our seating. I opted for the bacon pancakes. The food is presented just beautifully like the perfect instagram photo. And it tastes just as good. If you are a tea drinker you must order a pot just for the cute factor. All teapots come out dressed in little tea cozys. I wonder if they sell them as they all look homemade. My only complaint is that the food came old on the cold side. Perhaps it was due to how crowded it was, but it was like the food had been sitting out for a while. Regardless it still tasted amazing. I think prices for the Plough are affordable. If you have an Independent Birmingham card you receive a discount so keep that in mind. They have a beer garden out back that must be wonderful on sunny days..if we ever get any. I really want to get back there for lunch or dinner. And maybe try a cocktail if they have any. If you're ever in Harborne try it out.

Awesome little spot with a huge sunflower field like how can you go wrong?…read more Totally just randomly stumbled across this farm saw the Sunflower Field and had to pay a visit as those are my favorite flowers it was soo pretty like a whole path that went through the field! Then I went inside their market where they have a restaurant and like a full grocery store like everything here looked soo good especially the bread! Rachel was my cashier she was super friendly and excited to talk to someone who's from very far away, overall awesome spot if I lived here I would frequent this for all the goodies I can bring home with me!

If this was present, which I didn't stay long enough to find out, it was very well hidden. The entrance had shelves of grapes in plastic containers and cling-film. Opposite the entrance was a shelf of fruit etc. none looked local, and much was in plastic bags. There were things like pre-cooked rice in plastic trays for microwave, a few plastic tubes of organic - but not local. Then there was a huge table of bananas, all in plastic bags. Lidl looks more like a farm-shop than this place.

When looking for somewhere that I can take my mother too for lunch a few weeks ago I decided to try…read moreEBB and Flow. This blend of cafe and bar is something that stands out in Solihull and manages to set it apart from many of the other restaurants and bars locally, they straddle the line between upmarket bar and vintage cage relatively well and have put together somewhere that is inviting without being too relaxed. One great thing to note is that they offer all day Brunch, which is great if you are late to rise and want a breakfast. This does make them busy on a weekend. They have a good selection of burgers. They also offer an afternoon tea at £10 per person which can be enhanced with Prosecco and offers a decent selection of both savoury and sweet items. I was impressed with the afternoon tea particularly as you didn't have to order ahead. My only complaint is that I didn't leave feeling full but the experience was very nice. I would deffinately recommend Ebb and Flow for a relaxed meal or a drink with friends.

The building itself is part of the Old Crown pub which believe is one of the oldest pubs in the city. The low ceilings and stained glass windows make it so cosy and packed full of charm. Myself and a friend went for soya flat white's (very hipster I know but she is from Brighton......) and a couple of items from the very reasonably priced sharing menu. For food we had a sharing portion of wings and a black pudding scotch egg. Both were SO good, very fresh and generally amazing. Another one for the to-do list of you haven't already! This place is a real find.

I thought that i had written a review for Molly's before but cant see it so here goes…read more Molly's is a proper old fashioned type cafe serving all manner of cooked breakfasts, sandwiches, lunches etc. It has parking at the rear (although you can usually get parked somewhere on The Green) and has about 8 or 9 tables for 4 people. It gets extremely busy at lunchtimes - to be expected because of its quality reputation. The food is really good, well cooked and a fair price. The staff are incredibly happy and chatty and cant do enough to help. Oh and proper MUGS of tea. Win. They also do free delivery within 3 miles for orders of £8 which im guessing is quite popular with the local offices as im always seeing the Molly's vans round and about. Ive knocked one star off (i wish i could just take off half a star...) because their website is really quite rubbish. I wanted to link to it to show you the menu (as i was too busy scoffing my food and reading the paper to take loads of photos for you) but there are no menus, no photos nothing. Come on Mollys its 2014 - get someone to do you a good website!!!

After pondering the menu for a while we settled on milkshakes and cake...you can't really go wrong with that combo. Funnily the staff had to pop out to grab ice-cream for our milkshakes, which meant it took slightly longer but I didn't really mind as I was feasting on my salted caramel cake in the meantime. When our milkshakes did appear, they looked as impressive as they tasted. We went for strawberry and chocolate - creamy, indulgent overflowing goodness in the cutest mason jars. The staff were super friendly and attentive throughout our visit asking if we were ok which was sweet. I'd like to go back and spend a bit longer in this adorable little cafe...will be back for sure! Note to self - there is a 50p fee for card transactions under £5
