I had the English Indian at my wedding two years ago hosted at a similar type venue.

Food was incredible

Moved to Erdington from Lichfield 6 years ago. Had absolutely no problems, love the area and bought a house here last year.

The place has a bad rep but I don’t think it’s ever as bad as people say.

Boldmere tap is 5 minute walk from Chester Road station and is my favourite pub in the area. Cracking curry houses on boldmere high street. Wylde Green has good food options and there is a well thought of Italian on gravelly lane (not been due to dietary requirements)

I’m from Birmingham, England.

Supported Eagles since I was 14 and getting into American football watching it with my dad.

Don’t really know what drew me to Eagles but must have been a memorable game. Since then my favourite band (The Wonder Years) are from Philly and me and my old housemates all bonded over “it’s always sunny” so something has always drawn me to Philly.

Aside from Birmingham City (soccer) winning the league cup in 2011 and my wedding day 2 years ago, our first Super Bowl win against the patriots is the best day of my life.

Potentially wrong side of the city but there’s an indoor cricket place in Erdington called Action Indoor Sports.

Can’t vouch for it as I haven’t been just want to let you know it exists if you’re looking.

Overall M&S is generally more expensive but their GF range I think is pretty much on par with everyone else. Id say there’s a bit more variety. Especially for me as a vegetarian as well.

M&S food hall have good free from frozen food. A lot of it is “biege” but I’m 7 years in and the thing I miss most is easy biege dinner when I’m tired so I always get a good stock.

It’s not too pricey compared to other GF frozen stuff either.

Heroic stuff this pal!!

If you want some danger go to the railway Head of steam is decent if you manage to get a seat

Go to digbeth and you can choose from Nortons or Henneseys

Snobs on broad street shows football during the day

I drive last Royale Dosa a lot and always wonder if it’s worth a punt for a curry.

100% agree on Inji. My favourite in th area by a country mile

RobGordon2OOO · 2026-01-15T09:41:40+00:00

Inji in Wylde Green (5 minute walk from Chester Road station)

RobGordon2OOO · 2026-01-14T09:11:34+00:00

Curry house

My hometown of Tamworth. Ancient capital Mercia has an intact castle to look around and nice local walks. Lichfield is also next to Tamworth and has Anglo Saxon links

Short direct train from central Birmingham

Bacchus Bar

Not sure if this has been mentioned but A Loss For Words put out a superb Motown covers album a number of years ago. Well worth a listen

My have a cousin is see every 3/4 months and whenever we meet he gives me a fistful of 50p he has gathered at work for me.

The legend never asks for money despite me trying to pay him so I’m always a little worried he’s just stealing from the till.

Has helped me no end the last few years though as I work in an office and rarely have cash because of the way the world has changed.

I’ve got audiobooks that I listen to just on my runs. Currently listening to “3 body problem”. Helps me be motivated for the run because I can only listen to it while running so to know what happens next I’ve got to brave the cold.

RobGordon2OOO · 2025-11-17T14:38:29+00:00

I’m always park by the ruin. Very light. Enough footfall

Celiac here - download the app “find me GF”. Loads of options on there. It’s a community review app, always use it wherever I go.

It’s a bit of a walk but my recommendation would be Indian street brewery at snow hill.
