Many people (outside of Sutton) would scoff at this guide as many are under the influence that Sutton Coldfield has nothing to offer. I would agree there does seem to be more boarded-up businesses than open businesses in the Centre. We can all agree that the City centre is in desperate need to be restored, However, with revamp plans floating around, we may just be getting that. The foodie scene in Sutton Coldfield is a bit of a scavengers hunt, believe it or not, there are fantastic foodie gems scattered in and all-around Sutton Coldfield. For the past two years, we have seen some new and exciting businesses popping up and bringing a bit of excitement to Sutton Coldfield. So, I have put this foodie guide together to show off some of the great Independents we have in the North and trust me, over the next couple of months this guide will get even bigger! Watch this space.

As a resident of Sutton Coldfield, I am often frustrated with the lack of Independent’s and exciting restaurant chains – no, I am not talking about Nandos and please don’t ever mention Nandos to me because I will most likely roll my eyes and scream. Recently there has been a flutter of new openings in the Sutton area in which I am delighted about, but I am greedy – I want more. Giggling Squid is one of the latest additions to the area, a restaurant that specialises in Thai Cuisine with restaurants in Harborne, Leamington Spa and so on. As soon as the announcement was made and bookings were opened, most of Sutton flooded to try it out and I am one of many, that is delighted about this opening.
Please note that this experience was gifted, and this is my honest opinion.
I was invited to experience Giggling Squid and decided I needed a second opinion so I brought my lovely friend (and fellow blogger) Small House Big Trips. As we walked in together for our booking at 6.30 pm, we could see that it was very busy. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, very floral, bright and just generally very appealing to the eye. I had seen some bizarre comments about uneven photos on the walls ruining peoples experiences at Giggling Squid this didn’t bother me at all and quite frankly I’m not here to review the decor or give you a course in how to straighten a photo correctly.
We sat down for our meal under a beautifully decorated arch covered in flora. We noticed that it was very echoey and it was quite loud, but what did we expect? The whole of Sutton Coldfield was dining here tonight. We browsed through the drinks menu and I opted for the Silky Pink Cocktail which is a Lychee Martini with a mouth-watering mix of Fair Quinoa Vodka, Kwai Feh lychee Liqueur, Peach and Jasmine Green Tea. Very refreshing, and something different to the usual Strawberry Daiquiri that I have murdered to death in many restaurants. Kelly went for the Lychee Angel cocktail in which she really liked and found it very refreshing.
We both found the service quick. Our Waitress “Anjali” who is also a fellow food blogger (Anjeatsss) was full of knowledge and very helpful when it came down to ordering. She was able to explain each dish and pick dishes that best suited our taste buds! So to start, we ordered the Sharing Platter which came with hand-cut pork grilled skewers, salt and pepper squid, Thai chicken wings, vegetable spring rolls. A very generous portion for £16.50 offering a great variety of flavours and was a great introduction to Giggling Squid.
For mains we went a little crazy, we ordered; Giant Butterfly King Prawn Pad Thai, Lamb Shank Massamann, Sticky Chicken, Morning Glory greens, Roti, Sticky rice, and coconut rice. One mouthful after the other was a constant punch of flavour that was just irresistible. The lamb shank was my favourite, the meat was cooked perfectly, falling off the bone and into the rich base of coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and star anise. The sticky chicken was sticky, moist and sweet, exactly what it says on the tin with an almighty crunch of crisp, just the way I like it. Sticky and coconut rice both blending beautifully with the lamb shank, scooped up with the roti flatbread helping both to blend perfectly. I grabbed a bite of Kellys Pad Thai that was also perfectly cooked and full of flavour.
To finish we ordered Black Sesame ice cream, however as I am not a big fan of ice cream, it just wasn’t for me. I felt the flavour was very peculiar and unfortunately I am a basic bitch in the ice cream department that opts for just vanilla, so it’s a no from me.
I read some iffy reviews of Giggling Squid (mostly all of them coming from Harborne) which left me feeling a little confused. My experience of Giggling Squid was exceptional, the food was fantastic and so was the service. We loved it so much it has quickly become one of our favourite restaurants in Sutton Coldfield. Is it the best Thai restaurant I have been to? No, but the team have surely put a lot of work into this restaurant for it to work, and it does. I enjoyed it so much that I visited again 3 weeks later (Non-gifted) Yes that’s right ladies and gentlemen, I DO PAY. I had the exact same experience again but service was a little bit slower but it’s early days, new restaurants need time to find their feet and find a structure that works. The food was exactly the same, fresh and full of flavour – no complaints.
A great addition to Sutton Coldfield/Mere Green, one that you will most definitely need to book before as it’s super busy. As a new opening, I was expecting a few hiccups here and there but I didn’t experience any of this. Kelly and I couldn’t stop praising our experience at Giggling Squid. I feel Giggling Squid is a wonderful addition to our town, which I hope now will give the Sutton area a bit of a boost and attract more appealing chains and most importantly Independents.
UPDATE: Sadly, we have to give an update or more so, replace this “positive” review with a negative review as my last two trips to Giggling Squid in Mere Green have been not so good. I hate it when this happens, but my last two visits have not matched the above review. I dont know what’s happened, where its all gone wrong from dirty tables to uncooked food, surely this is not the same restarant? Sadly, I can no longer recommend this restaurant as it seems to have slipped and gone downhill since opening. Its a real shame.
From the 3rd of August to 31st August the government will implement a new scheme to encourage diners to dine out in restaurants and to protect those who work in the hospitality industry. Diners will be entitled to a 50% off discount to use in UK restaurants that have signed up to the scheme. The establishments who are taking part in the scheme can then claim the money back from the Government.
I have put together a list of all the restaurants in the North of Birmingham area (Erdington to Mere Green) who have signed up to the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. The 50% off discount will be applied to your bill automatically this is 50% off food and non-alcoholic drinks (maximum discount of £10 per person) from Monday to Wednesday.

From waiting in virtual online queues for two hours to waiting in queue’s outside our local supermarkets just to grab a loaf of bread, it seems we have encountered a strange new reality that we now call “normal” in 2020. We all have been affected in many ways with the outbreak of COVID-19 and when desperate times call for desperate measures, we can always rely on community to step out and support those who need it the most. It has been a lovely sight to see, from friend’s to strangers dipping into their pockets or using their talents to promote, entertain and put a smile on those who desperately need it. I have seen so much information for Birmingham based businesses from social media posts to media coverage and articles in how you can help these businesses, but I have not seen much for the North of Birmingham where I am based. As a local myself, I have recently struggled with who’s offering what and keeping up to date with this information. So, I thought I would put together a self-help guide with lots of local information to those who are based in the North of Birmingham on where you can grab your weekly shop without leaving the house or how you can keep yourself entertained and the kids also within your living rooms. Want to know where you can shop locally for organic fresh goods? Grab your Friday night beer or learn a new skill from an online virtual class? Then stick with me, your Bab has you sorted with my North of Birmingham guide to self-isolating
PLEASE NOTE: I will try to update this post daily so if you like to be featured please send me an email via the contact page.There is still so much more businesses to add so bare with me!

“Our relaxed and informal paediatric first aid classes for parents and grandparents are normally face to face sessions in venues or in the comfort of people’s homes. Whilst we cannot run classes out and about because of COVID19 pandemic, it is still important for everyone to feel confident they would know what to do in the event of an accident or medical emergency involving little ones, so we are running 2-hour sessions ONLINE. The online and the practical public/private classes all cover first aid techniques suitable for newborn babies through to primary school aged children. Our classes for children to learn first aid are normally run in schools, scouting groups and other education settings and whilst again we cannot run face to face at the moment, we are about to launch some online videos for children to access“
