    The Jabberwocky - A Jabberwocky Toastie

    How can the makers of the very fine "Manwich" not have any reviews indeed? It's definitely time to…read morechange that... I first came across Barny and Flic's very fine van and it's offerings on my first trip to Digbeth Dining Club. Their beautiful green behemoth of a van offers Toasties... Nothing more, nothing less. Now, that might sound a little boring; but read on my dear friends! Let's start with the Manwich... As taken from their website: "The only toastie whose consumption deems you to be worthy of nothing less that the eternal reverence of your peers. A triple-decker leviathan of bacon, pastrami, ham, chorizo, cheddar, mozzarella, monterey jack, onions, hot sauce and, of course, a 28 day aged 4oz Warwickshire steak." Sounds good right? It IS. You WON'T be hungry after this. They have less mega offerings and deal with locally sourced meats, cheeses and (of course) veggie offerings. If you aren't content with just savoury; they have also offered sweet toasties when I have visited. Think thick slabs of bread with chocolate spread, marshmellows, peanut butter.... You get the idea. Don't worry, my mouth is watering too (this is a really bad review to write when you're on a diet). The guys who run the van are great! On one visit to see the Jabberwocky, we had a natter about why they got started... Basically, to escape the daily grind the guys decided to be their own bosses and bought the truck, designed their menu and now wing their way around Leamington Spa and Birmingham dealing out delicious toasties to the hungry crowds at streetfood events and markets. As a side note, I believe you can also hire them to come and cater for your event... I don't think you would have any disappointed guests with these guys doing the food! A Manwich (from memory) was about £7/£8 - but was a beast of a meal. Other offerings start from around £6 and the dessert offerings are even less. If you haven't tried these guys before, go and say hi to Barny and Flic! You might just fall in love with this foodstuff of kings all over again...

    Think of toasties as a dodgy Breville made snack from the 80's? You haven't eaten from The…read moreJabberwocky. Run by a couple who are focused on providing a delicious, locally sourced toastie assault on the taste buds. Well known for their triple deckers like The Manwich and Old McDonald which are packed with combinations of meats and cheese that you can only dream of. They've even put a whole Christmas dinner in a toastie! It doesn't stop there though there's also pudding! Think about Millionaires shortbread , Rocky Road or even good old banoffee. They've all been given the toastie treatment. So next time you spot the Jabberwocky van, head over and order the biggest toastie you can muster. You will not be disappointed! In fact you'll be hooked!

    I will be totally upfront and tell you first off that I help organise the market. It is run by the…read moreJewellery Quarter Neighbourhood Forum who are a group of local volunteers. But I'm also a customer who looks forward to seeing familiar favourites and new stalls and I never leave without bags weighing me down, so I'm judging it as ok to write a review :-) We now do an Easter, summer and Christmas market the grounds of St Paul's church. We don't make any profit and plough any surplice back into the next one to keep the cost to stallholders down. We have a mix of delicious food to eat there and then, to buy and take home, and a great bunch of local artists, crafters, makers and growers selling stuff to adorn you, your house and your garden. We are small and perfectly formed but growing well. At our summer 2014 market in August we had 27 stalls, a good footfall and a great atmosphere. Look out for our Christmas market in December.

    One of my favourite days of the Jewellery Quarter calendar is the third Saturday of each month when…read moreit's 24 Carrots day. The food traders are all local to the West Midlands and after 2 years of popping in for my regular haul I've got to know them pretty well. Must haves are coffee beans from Andy at Beans & Leaves from whom I tend to try whatever is new this month. He's also an expert on the 1970s but that's beside the point. JQ business Vee's deli are there with their great selection of cheeses that you can try before you buy and then there is the markets' own vegetable stall which occasionally sells carrots! More often than not I'll pick up some flowers and whatever vegetables I want with the Sunday roast the next day. Sometimes I'll pick up a homemade frozen meal or at the very least a dessert from the frozen food stall before checking out the delights from the huge Squisito hot food stand. Finally it's the essential dozen eggs from the meat guy, who has a 10 year old clever side-kick who can calculate in his head faster than I can with a calculator. If you're coming along, I'm usually there around 12, when occasionally they have live music so be sure to say 'hello.'

    As a free event for the Yelpers, this was OK, and Vicky did a great job of getting everyone…read moreorganised ready for the day, and of welcoming them all at the event itself. That's most appreciated and what we've all come to expect, so it didn't disappoint. Millennium Point is a great venue with spacious areas, interesting design, and a relaxed but modern feel. I did find it a little odd that the Independent Food Fair would be hosted here as they only really made use of the ground level with a few stalls outside. As a Yelper, we got two cards for samples (16 samples in total), and access to the VIP area with free bubbly and nibbles, however I understand that if you were a paying customer then you only got 8 samples. This is where it all fell down for me, several of the stalls had run out of samples, and most of the remaining stalls gave away such small samples, begrudgingly, that it made me feel somewhat awkward for asking. As the whole event was based on this system to try lots of new things, it seemed a bit odd that they didn't really seem enthusiastic about it. One of the stall holders wouldn't let us sample the only two of their products we were interested in as they didn't have any samples left, regardless of the many unopened products "for sale" and it still being quite early in the day. They explained that at normal events, they would let anyone try anything, but the sample system had messed things up, and many of the stall holders were annoyed with it. I've been to many farmers markets and food fairs in the past, most with many more stalls than they had here, although they are open air events with more space, yet they are free to attend, and nearly everyone gives out samples anyway. Most good pubs and bars also let you sample beers, wine, and sometimes spirits too. This left me feeling a little confused as to the point of this event. Sorry for going against the grain with this review, the Yelp side of things was great as always, but the event itself just seemed to be confused as to what it was doing there.

    I wouldn't call myself a foodie. I like food which is why I've got 14lbs that I'd prefer not to…read morehave floating round. I've been looking forward to visiting the indie food fair for a little while and I'd have probably done my darnedest to crash this even one way or another. For me it was a chance to wave at a lot of businesses that I've only waved at online before. There were lots of choices in the drinks corner and several coffee shops. The ground floor at millennium point is quite well spaced out really and I've visited many times over the years. It was great to see it bustling I with people. Outside were several food vendors that I'd not encountered before and it was fun to try some samples of polish food. I was here with yelp (Which I'll review further on the event page itself) and there was a lot to keep me interested for a few hours. Feedback wise.. The only reason that it didn't get 5 stars from me is.. The food and drink should have been closer. I like to drink when I'm eating. I'm not actually Greek or anything but yes Food AND Drink means exactly that to me. I'd say the shape of the building probably contributed towards this issue rather than anything else. Otherwise I enjoyed seeing what was around. Great job to everyone!
