Hello & welcome to Breaking Bread the Birmingham food podcast presented by food-obsessed mates Liam & Carl. This week we speak to mega-talented and super articulate Alex Claridge, to celebrate the re-opening of hospitality after the latest Covid lockdown. We are delighted to be joined again by Alex. 2020 has been a challenging year for everybody, especially for the hospitality industry. Despite a complete lack of evidence, hospitality is continuously scapegoated by this government as a risk of infection. From the start of the pandemic, Alex has been at the center of every campaign and petition. Fighting ferociously for the industry he loves. This made Alex a natural choice to guest our first episode back after lockdown. An awesome conversation all about these last fifteen months, preparing for the future and the exciting changes and improvements we can expect when visiting The Wilderness.

Welcome To Brum...Luna Springs

Imagine sitting in a restaurant, the menu consists of the five best dishes you have eaten in 2020, in Birmingham. What would you order? That's exactly what Carl & Liam tried to answer in the season 2 finale. With so much amazing food in this great city,  the Birmingham food podcast hosts struggled to narrow it down so decided to split the meal into five courses. Snacks, Starter, Fish, main & dessert all eaten in Birmingham in 2020. The episode is jam-packed with great food, with plenty of honorable mentions and ideas for where to book a table as soon as life goes back to normal.  Season two has been a challenge, to say the least. We are immensely proud of all the incredible people in the hospitality industry in Brum, how they have rallied during some of the most brutal times, diversified & done all they can to survive & help others is truly inspiring. We love making this podcast & can not wait to come back with season three and try to promote & shout about all the incredible people doing amazing things in Birmingham. Huge thank you to everybody who has supported, helped, DM'd us on social or listened to us it makes all the hard work worth it, & to all our amazing guests we couldn't do it without you!!

Hello & a very warm welcome back to Breaking Bread the podcast all about the amazing food & drink in Birmingham. This week Carl & Liam are joined by Liam's very good friend & gaffer of Bacchus Bar, the awesome city centre boozer just off New St. Brendan has worked in pubs & bars for over 20 years and has won awards & recognition for investing in his team & turning struggling pubs around. Liam & Brendan take a fun trip down memory lane to where they first met, in a cheesy Solihull bar in 2006. They reminisce on some funny memories (not so funny at the time) during their time working at Weatherspoons. Brendan offers some great advice & talks deeply about hospitality management and what it has been like to run a city-centre pub during covid before offering a fresh take on Tripadvisor which might make you realise that it may be more beneficial to work with Tripadvisor, as opposed to just hating on it.
