Cucina Rustica Birmingham Review

Cucina Rustica Birmingham Review

Today I headed into Birmingham for lunch at Cucina Rustica Italian restaurant. Cucina Rustica is based in the Jewellery Quarter, which is about a 10 minute walk from New Street train station and Grand Central shopping centre.

Caffe Concerto – Grand Central Birmingham

Yesterday morning, I headed into Birmingham for a meeting at the beautiful Caffe Concerto. It’s not often I attend a blogging event without the girls – in fact, I’m not sure I ever have. But if all events are as fabulous as the one I went to this morning, I’m on a mission to go to a few more. About Grand Central Shopping Centre Grand Central shopping centre is conveniently located right above the Birmingham New Street train station.
