Birmingham is pretty awesome when it comes to food these days and it’s high time I started blogging more about my local food scene. One of the newest additions to the city is Bonehead which specialises in fried chicken – easily one of my favourite things in life.

ORGANIC SKINCARE IN BIRMINGHAM
On Saturday I visited Honest in Birmingham’s lovely Great Western Arcade as I had a birthday voucher that I have been meaning to use!

KILLER FLAT WHITE
There is an awesome independent coffee scene in Birmingham and all the coffee shops are a little network where they all support each other, so it’s lovely little community. I visit them all for different reasons whether it’s because they serve great brunch, do the best teas or make a killer flat white. I may not
