That seems like a pretty good gig for you! A good breakfast gets the day off to a great stat, well done!

Yes Viv, I used to go there in the mid-1970s .... the huge Mixed/Mick's Grill was legendary. There used to be an annual pub crawl race around Selly Oak for students competing in pairs .... drinking in 10 (I think) pubs and finishing with a Grill in Mick's Cafe. Not a pretty sight!

My mum would have appreciated the 'legendary mixed grill' comment. It was my mums cafe ! She sold up in the 1980s. I think it was carried on as a cafe (probably into the early 2000s), but now it's returned to a residential property.
