Cafes in and around Birmingham

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

Just an idea ask any members that worked at Swan Motors in the 70s as it was not far from the cafe and might be of help.

Many a cafe fed a hungry persons stomach at breakfast with either a sandwich or a full English set you up for the rest of the day .

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.
