No Kidding. I Went To Kidderminster & Digbeth.
Yesterday was a trip to Kidderminster. Been to Aggborough 2 or 3 times, popped to The Peacock in August after Bewdley and went on a great pub crawl in 2018 as part of Pub Challenge 3. On that day, I had a printed map but I’ve now left SciChem with its lovely printer by my…
Making A Great Day Of Maker Fest.
Yesterday I was at Walsall Maker Fest, which featured live performances and craft stalls – working on a voluntary basis after seeing an appeal on Facebook. I love volunteering for stuff and this sounded right up my street. Darwell Street to be precise. I hadn’t even got through the door and I saw someone I…
From Mario’s To The Mutt.
Thursday I was in Brownhills. I wanted to visit Mario’s Other Plaice. The opening hours are a bit niche. It only opens between 5 and 9 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I found this out the hard way, on a cold wet Monday night in February. It was my own fault. I’d been on their…
Playing Cluedo With Pub Names.
Back in 2023 I was pondering ways to get around and visit random pubs. I came up with the idea of getting my mate to draw 3 Cluedo cards like would be done at the start of the board game, murderer, implement and room but not tell me. I would then visit pubs with the…

Pleck Not Vegas.
First home game of the season. Always a time of great excitement. Following two great away wins I was really up for this one. It was Jack & Ada’s for brekkie. Not been for a while but it gave me chance to check out what must be the world’s slowest demolition project, nearby. Inside owner…
Bottomless Brunch In Brum’s Epic Horror Bar.
I’d been looking into Gillingham (a) but the coach I was considering was full and the trains were £80 which I couldn’t really justify in the same week I’d used them to go to Scotland and London. Literally seconds after I closed the Trainline tab I got a message from Sean. Last year he asked…
Vine Street To Whitechapel And Solo In Soho.
A week last Tuesday I headed to London again for more Monopoly board visits.In Walsall McDonald’s my order was my lucky number 44. I knew it was going to be a good day. As it was the school holidays, the train had a few kids on it so plenty of shrieking and wailing. It was…
A Stakeout Of The Lockside Steakhouse.
Asps rang me last week to mention that he was taking Josh’s wife Lyndsey out to Lockside Steakhouse in Stourbridge while he was away and did I want to join them. As I’d reviewed The Lockside Cafes in the old BHS and the Saddlers Centre in Walsall while they were open, I jumped at this…
Spice Up Your Life In Walsall Volume 2.
Following the success of volume 1 – detailed here, I felt I needed to get back out there and do more curry. Tough job yeah, but somebody’s got to do it. Kiran’s Balti – 7 Church Street, Darlaston, WS10 8DU. Reviewed 11/05/26. I’d been on a mission in Darlaston, had an hour or so to…
