Having a Family Fiesta at Fiesta del Asado Birmingham

July 18, 2019

We had a nice evening meal, in a very South American way at the Fiesta del Asado in Birmingham, most specific in Solihull. If you had read our previous “tasting’ of Lasan In Birmingham, Fiesta del Asado is from the same owner, so I had some questions answered and here is what I gathered (huge thank you to Andrew who invited us and answered my questions): The initial inspiration for Fiesta came after Lasan had won Gordon Ramsay’s The…

Indian Family Meal at Lasan, Birmingham

May 3, 2019

After an excellent weekend in Kingston Upon Thames (read here), we went straight to Birmingham to have a lovely meal at Lasan’s, and end the weekend in perfection.

Lasan is part of the Lasan Group from the well succeeded Business entrepreneur Jabbar Khan and was Winner of Gordon Ramsay’s Best Local Restaurant in the UK and BBC’s ‘The Great British Menu’. So this meal promised. Situated in St…

Lego Movie days at Legoland Discovery Centre Birmingham

April 4, 2019

No child can grow up without playing Legos. It’s not because of the brand, is because of the imagination, the skills and the engineering behind it… then comes the brand. Lego has such a range of toys for anyone, any age, any skill level, but when it comes to having a fun park or a discovery centre, they know what the public wants. Birmingham now has a Legoland discovery centre, situated in the NEC, and you can get a super…

Sealife Birmingham: Getting near the Fishes

April 3, 2019

It’s not the first time we go to Sealife in Birmingham. We went there probably 3 years ago, Richie was very little to appreciate it properly, but now with almost 5 years, he was really excited. We got the promotion of 2 attraction tickets for one, the Combi Ticket, Sealife and Legoland Discovery centre (tomorrow the post comes out), and we had such a fun day, since both attractions are near one another, you just need to cross over the…

And here we start the best part of the year for me: Halloween, and later on Christmas and New Years! The party started this year with Drayton Manor’s Halloween, as we absolutely love and have so much fun as a family in every ride! If you haven’t read our Summer adventure before at Drayton’s, it was a great day, and now with Halloween was even greater, as we had family over and wanted to create memories with them, so we…

Family Meals at Tom’s Kitchen Restaurant

September 14, 2018

Family Meals are important to us. Either at home or in a restaurant, our little family deserves a good meal, in a quiet place to talk about everything. We went to Tom’s Kitchen at the Mailbox, in the heart of Birmingham, for a real meal in a good ambience for families. Situated in a cosy space, there is a fusion of “Home” Kitchen with a restaurant, divided into spaces with different decor but all with a homely feeling. We went there at the…
