Birmingham Food and Drink: Closures, Cheap Eats, and World Cup Fun
Brum Food: Closures, Cheap Eats, and World Cup Fun

This week in Birmingham food and drink brings closures, recommendations, and ideas from the Brum Food Club. Features Writer Kirsty Bosley shares the latest updates.

World Cup Viewing with Food Options

With football season approaching and concerns about city residents surviving on lager and vindaloo, Kirsty has compiled a guide to venues showing matches that also offer food. Late games mean post-9pm pizza is an option for many. Readers can suggest additional venues by emailing kirsty.bosley@reachplc.com.

Autobrew Closure in Digbeth

Sad news arrived as Autobrew closed its doors in Digbeth over the weekend. This follows warnings that more closures might occur unless conditions improve. The trend is expected to continue throughout the year.

Budget-Friendly Michelin-Recommended Restaurants

For those on a budget, Kirsty highlights Birmingham restaurants that Michelin considers 'wallet-friendly' and 'well priced'. These venues offer quality produce from talented chefs without breaking the bank.

Clancy's in Harborne: Cheap Roasts and More

Clancy's, an independent pub, offers creamy pints and a Sunday roast cheaper than Toby Carvery. Follow the Kerry green alleyway for music, sport, and boiled bacon.

Competition and Personal Recommendations

A competition is running to win a smart TV and Mr Porky's snacks. Kirsty personally enjoys M&S picky bits after selling items on Vinted. She recently visited Banana Tree at the Bullring for small plates but found them unexciting, though service was lovely. She recommends Sushidog as a reliable option and welcomes reader suggestions for Bullring dining.
