The quality of food here is excellent and they're kimchi is the best I've ever had in terms of UK Korean restaurants, the portions are big and the prices are cheap; mains are around £8-9, starters are around £5 each. The service is basic at best, the staff are efficient but not too attentive. They also do not accept card so it's cash only, which is a downside. I loved the seafood bibimbap and spicy tofu jigae, both tasted divine. Overall high quality flavorful and authentic Korean food, cheap prices, generous portions but average service.

How can?!? With all respect, there's nothing more exciting that explore the places you are visiting and experience the truly taste of local food. Yew Tree Farm shop is placed in the middle of the Stratford Road, in the way to Woolton Wawen, and I am glad I find this gem! I know UK has plenty of farm shops all over the country and it's just delightful stop by during the trip ( maybe better on the way back home) and get some fresh products and catch up with the local businesses people. This is a perfect place to do it! Yew Tree is more than just a farm shop, it's a place to learn about how to encouraging the production and consumption of local products! Their range of products is impressive and you can expect to spend some quality time there. From fresh bread ( of heaven) to some tasteful jams and pickles onions! If you love buying local, you have to love this place! There are at let more 5 of those shops spread in the whole UK and If you see its display on the road, stop and visit it! If you decide to go by train the nearest station is the Woolton Wawen itself.

I ended up adding fair amounts water to soften the sugary taste down a bit. However encountered better luck with the choice of our food as both starters just blew away everyone on our table. We decided to get both of the Sharing Boards and oh gosh, brilliant decision as the food was excellent! 1) Bao Bun Board: just super delicious. I liked the crispy hoisin duck more than the BBQ pulled pork, and also liked the self service aspect of this (you had to make your own Bao bun). Really appreciated that they served generous amounts of the stuffing elements for the bun and all 4 items just complemented each other. 2) Age Board: the blackened chicken and tempura cauliflower bites were amazing! As were the accompanying sauces. The duck spring rolls were okay, but definitely for our group the chicken & cauliflower won when it came to tastiness. The cauliflower bites especially just super crisp while the chicken was so moist and with just super delicious spices! We should have stopped there and ordered dessert instead next, but we didn't realize so had also ordered mains! I got the Shio Ramen; other members of our group got the Bibimbap with Shrimp; Kung Pao Chicken; and Chow Mein. Btw, if you are worried that the menu selection seems all over the place when it comes to Asian food with Japanese, Korean, Sichuan Chinese & Hong Kong being represented with the menu choices our group made, I want to reassure anyone reading this review, that the food is tightly focused and the restaurant is Pan-Asian rather than Fusion Asian cuisine, so it all tastes fairly authentic. I had a taste of the Bibimbap and it was deliciousness! I think I might have enjoyed my Shio Ramen more if I wasn't already massively full from the Entree's. However if I return back to the restaurant, I won't get this ramen menu item again - I wanted a wee bit more vegetables plus the broth was a bit too bland for my taste. I put in copious amounts of dark soy spice and chili oil to spice it up. I also don't think the taste of the semi-cured chashu pork belly as the protein in the ramen was all that great. Don't get me wrong, the pork tasted delicious, but I wanted more of the fat to be present and mix with the ramen broth and instead it was more smoky taste elements. Overall however, service was great and as mentioned previously, those two starters hit it out of the park. I'd definitely return and get those two tasting boards again! Yelp 172/ 2019

Breakfast Review: I…read moredo like an Indi deli. In fact I love an Indi deli. So much so that this morning, I cycled in heavy rain and a blustery wind, 17.5 miles to try out their breakfast. I was recommended this place by some of the fine people on Twitter. Their enthusiasm for the place meant I had to give it a go. It's a small shop in a group of shops on a residential road in suburban Bournville. There's no uniforms, just people that obviously care about their products and produce. That definitely included their breakfasts. Perfectly cooked bacon, (2 slices, not one as advertised), 2 sausages, a spot on golden yolked egg, a choice of plum or fresh tomatoes, great black pudding, (an extra), baked beans, (served in a separate dish), a good portion of fresh mushrooms and hand cut, crusty bread - as far as I'm concerned, a MUST for a quality breakfast - which this absolutely was. Coffee was good quality too, not too rich, just how I like it. In summary: 9/10 one of the best ones I've had. Excellent.

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.

Though Domino's in the UK is quite expensive, it's not much more expensive than other pizza joints, except for Big John's, which sort of trumps all joints in the fast food category. My favourite right now is the Mexican Hot, with gorgeous green chilies, hot beef and other gooey goodnesses. Through Domino's website, you can order pizza online, pay, and have it delivered within half an hour. What a service! I'm a 21st century digital girl, and I love it. The Tamworth Domino's is located just off of the town centre, next to a solicitor's and a hotel. It's just up the street from Champagne, the Indian restaurant featured on Gordon Ramsay's "The F Word". Parking is a bit rough around here, so I wouldn't recommend driving. If you have to, there is a public car park about 5 minutes away, for £1.20. Best is to ring up for delivery or use the online service. If you do go in, the staff are fine, not particularly friendly or helpful, but then, they're mostly around the 16-year-old age range, so no fuss there. The service is fast and reliable, and I've never had a pizza turn up even a minute later than they promised.

The cakes went down really well and Rebecca had such a lovely looking stand that is impossible not to draw people in. The theme was Britpop (this was in 201) so it gave Rebecca a good practice run on the red, white and blue cakes that have been the rage through this year's Jubilee events. Chitty's cupcakes are on the small side (rather than the huge original American ones) so perfectly portioned for one person. There is every flavour you can imagine and although I love vanilla and lemon ordinarily and not a big fan of chocolate, even I was tempted recently by Chitty's chocolate specials; Chocolate Orange, Chocolate Hazelnut and Malteser all went down well!

Breakfast Review:…read more Today was a treat. I was recommended this place by a business colleague and thought it was worth trying out. I didn't realise it was a Greek restaurant and a cafe, but it appears that it is. The interior is clean and spaced out well, with a counter at the front and a spotlessly clean open kitchen at the rear. First off was ordering drinks, Orange juice 'carton or fresh squeezed sir?' The perfect question. I went for fresh squeezed, a rare treat. Coffee was excellent too. Then came the breakfast: as near to perfection as you could get. One juicy plump sausage, 2 griddled pieces of bacon, mushrooms, perfectly cooked tomato, black pudding to die for, beans were served in a ramekin, (its a personal thing, I HATE beans on my breakfast plate), 2 eggs that personified the perfect egg. Proper toast made it even better. The service was superb too, from the lovely lady taking the orders, through to the chefs cooking and the serving staff too. Freshly squeezed orange juice, large coffee and Full English for just £10.40. Superb. I think I have a new favourite :0) 9/10 (another round of toast would have made it perfect!)

Often when cafés call themselves a 'lounge' you don't feel comfortable enough to lounge, however here was the opposite. The atmosphere is laid back and the staff are friendly and efficient.

Certain things with a twist caught my eye like the mezze lunch (but I'll eat anything with halloumi in), the spiced hot chocolate and the salsa chicken hot wrap. They all sound delicious and not the same old thing you'd usually find in a café. My toasted tea cake and cuppa really did the trick and it was inexpensive.
