It seems there’s a day for pretty much everything: some good, some not so good, but we think World Cocktail Day is something to be celebrated! It’s on 13th May and honours the artistry of cocktail mixology. Whether you celebrate it in one of the many pubs and bars in Solihull or at home, have fun trying something new.

It’s official. We’re a nation of curry lovers! Apparently 22% of us eat Indian food at least once a week. Indian food is a popular choice in the UK, thanks to the wide variety of dishes available, and the amount of restaurants we have available to us, from small takeaways to fine dining establishments.

If you find yourself wondering what a gastro pub is you’re not alone! Basically it’s a pub that serves great food. It comes from the word ‘gastronomy’ which means the art of cooking or eating good food. Check out our suggestions of gastro pubs in Solihull that are worth visiting.

Sometimes there’s nothing like a good cuppa. Whether that’s a mug of strong builder’s tea, or a delightfully complicated one-shot, extra hot, no foam, latte – it can warm us up, comfort us, or just accompany a delicious slice of chocolate cake. It’s not just the drink and the accompanying treat that’s important, it’s also the ambience of where you go to sip your herbal tea, or whatever it is that floats your boat. Sometimes we all get stuck in a rut and go to the same old place, so why not have a look through our list of some of Solihull’s finest cafes and try somewhere new.

It was a Wednesday evening, we couldn’t be bothered to cook and wanted something tasty and not too expensive. So we headed up to Mortons in Dickens Heath which is open every day for coffee, brunch, lunch, and dinner.

It was a rainy Monday. We needed cheering up so decided we’d treat ourselves to a meal out at the weekend… only problem is, where to go. I fancied Chinese, my partner wanted a curry – so we decided to compromise… on Thai! We booked the new(ish) Giggling Squid in Knowle, as we’d heard good things about it, plus it let us try out The Dry Spy over the road too.
