    Post instameet sandwiches and drinks courtesy of The Old Crown

    I'm not sure you are supposed to review events where you are co-host, but what the hell! Dan messaged me a few weeks back to ask if I would help out Ling with the latest Picture This event as he was going to be away visiting Yelp headquarters in San Francisco. He explained that it was due to be in Digbeth and centred around the amazing street art in the area, which is one of my favourite things, so I was more than happy to get involved. We gathered at The Mockingbird Cinema who kindly gave everyone a free hot drink - it was a pretty grotty day, so this was very much appreciated. I had prepared a leaflet giving an overview of some of the key pieces of art to look out for in the area and we set off on our little street art adventure. Thankfully it stopped raining for the duration of our walk and, amazingly, there weren't that many cars parked in the way of the art! I think most people were quite surprised by just how much art there is in the area and how varied it is, from massive colourful walls to tiny stencils and paste-ups. We concluded the get together at The Old Crown who had kindly reserved a table for us and provided us with complimentary hot drinks and sandwiches. I've done a separate review for this on the Old Crown page. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, I certainly did, and now has a better appreciation for how much amazing street art we have in our lovely city.

    Yelp Brum 3 gang for today's instameet !!

    My third time co hosting a Yelp instameet for Dan!!! I can't believe I am doing this but I do love it!! Okay I class myself as more the admin coordinator as this event was superbly organised by Oona who put together the route round Digbeth!! All thanks go to oona!! I had several messages asking if we were going ahead and people dropping out but thankfully 10 of us joined in!! The mockingbird theatre was our meeting point and they supplied us with complimentary hot drinks whilst we had a talk bout the event n Yelp etc and handed out some cool Yelp swag!!! Lol We had a leisurely walk round Digbeth and though I had been to city of colours this time as the area was quiet, we were able to photo fully without people part from ourselves!! We ended up at the old crown inn, where the manager kindly showed us the B&B upstairs. We saw one room as others were occupied. So much history and features to look at! I recommend you go for a visit!! Fascinating !!! They gave us a platter of sarnies n hot drinks for a much needed lunch!! Thanks to all for attending!! Hope you will come to the next instameet or join in next time though I may not make it myself!! Ling xxx

    A great afternoon out in digbeth hosted by Ling and Oona with CM-Dan putting it together in the background. A great coffee at mockingbird while we meeted and greeted (met and gret?) Then a good wander around Digbeth looking at all the street art. There's a lot to see still off the back of City of Colours. Really amazing stuff. Check out all the pictures! We ended with a quick sandwich and coffee at the Old Crown, which is A very nice historic pub, steeped in history but has been modernized very well.

    I had truly beautiful day filled with arts and talent that lay around the colourful streets of Digbeth. Our arrival point was the fabulous mocking bird, where I chose a latte and was greeted with our wonderful hosts Ling and Oona not to mention the stash of yelp swag to make our day even brighter. I found the day very informative as we were given very useful leaflets that talked about all the beautiful artwork that we would come across today.( Thank goodness for the nice weather too, we were incredibly Lucky) Having previously missed the 'city of colours' event I was pleased to still see what amazing art Birmingham had to bring, many of the talented street artists had flew far and wide to share these pieces. We felt very lucky to capture the talent and see the skills first hand The Old Crown was yet again a Gem to see and have here in the Heart of Birmingham, having kept most of it's original look, the place served delicious food. As well as being a beautiful pub, it's also a B&B , being such a good location it's great for city hoppers looking for a good stay In Brum. I really like the fact that the building is filled with stories and memories about what life was like in Birmingham. This day was another new experience for me as I could bring my interest in photogphay and document the beauty of Digbeth

    I love the usual Yelp and Deliveroo events, however this one not so much. Why, looking at the price…read moreof alcohol beverages! It makes zero sense to order via Deliveroo for drinks. One small 187ml bottle of wine I can buy the full bottle of the same wine for the same price in a local supermarket. I can buy beers for less than 1/3 the price in my local off-license, and this is before the £2.50 charge. I find the pricing is all too wrong. Then there is the minimum £10 spend. You can't order food from one restaurant and drinks from another without having to make a separate order, frustrating! Oh, and two of my local off-licenses deliver for free, too.

    Found that my £10 credit from Deliveroo was showing on my app and the email from Dan confirmed I…read morecould order after 3pm... I was on it! I looked at both places we could order from - the Wellington or 40 St. Paul's. Decided as I like cider, I'll pick the Wellington. Though I felt bad as I ordered it to be delivered to my office on Edmund street so that's only on the next block!! Lol I ordered 3 bottles as ordering less than certain amount incurs a fee. The order arrived, pretty much within 20 mins, I got text so I went to the lift and was also called by the Roo driver! He found the place with no problem. My only real issue with the delivery was it was not in a bag.. So I had to carry 3 bottles of cider into the office lol thankfully no one question me, no one tackled me for a bottle or more importantly did I smash any!! Lol I think next time I would go downstairs with a bag to be on the safe side. The bottles were nicely chilled though they are now in my work rucksack for when I get home! Thanks to Yelp (Dan) and deliveroo for my drinks today!! Cheers !!!!

The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, kind of like a slumber party. Second cup provided complimentary cookies and hot chocolate, both of which were extremely tasty. Additionally, we got Willy Wonka themed cupcakes from a brand new local bakery. These too were delicious. I had a fantastic time and hope Yelp has another event like this soon. In particular I want to express how great of a job Dan did in setting this up. He was there personally arranging everything before we all showed up and stayed till after most people left. As always, his event was a huge success.

It was all of my favorite things in one place - Gene Wilder movie, cupcakes, hot cocoa and a LONDON FOG! This took me back to university when I would get together with girlfriends, watch old movies and indulge in a sugar rush. Thanks, Dan, for the fun trip down memory lane. I am now a huge fan of Second Cup Coffee - they have my favorite caffeinated beverage of all time and make it exceptionally well. Shout out to the awesome manager for making me a cup of London Fog to sample in addition to my free hot cocoa. Totally made my day. I've already been back to order one. It tastes like bergamot Christmas and everything nice. I loved the lounge space. The setup inside is perfect for a quick cuppa or for staying a bit to get work done. Our mini movie theater was quite snazzy. I felt so posh and special staying after hours for a fun movie treat with the Yelp crew. Glaze, girl, you have got it going on! Love, love, loved your cupcakes. Such cute decorations and well balanced flavors. I had the hummingbird cake with blue frosting. It was scrumdiddlyumptious. I can't wait to see where your cake business takes you. Please apply to Great British Bake Off. I'd love to cheer you on! I think you'd knock their socks off.

We were given a ticket to Saturday's event by Yelp and once we entered the site were free to wander around all of the venues. I'll freely admit that my clubbing days in Liverpool are a distant memory these days but I thoroughly enjoyed milling around amongst the crowds in the various arenas and saw some awesome DJs, including our Dan! A fabulous day, so looking forward to returning later for Hacienda Classical!

Jason looked up the ranking for refer a friend and I'm 19th in the world!! So if you want free credit which is currently £10, use promo code lingy8119 ... Then spend it!!! I ordered from yakinori again!! You get a filling lovely box of noodles! I had gyoza too. Yummy. Though I opted for spicy I think I shouldn't have lol the food arrived on time! As I had so much credit, I bought drinks from boost juice, as its below a certain level they charge more, so I bought a drink for Dan and Simon! I choose what I thought was fruit salad but it's actually a drink!! lol this place has a time slot that you need choose from so it took longer. It was fun to see and meet Yelpers!

Every time I use Deliveroo, I can't help but think how much better my life in university dorms would have been with them around. For the Express Lunch, I ordered from Yo! Sushi. I was majorly impressed. The rice and chicken katsu were still hot upon arrival and the little decorative onions and veggies on top of the rice were still perfectly in place. I like that the drivers don't slosh your food around in transit. I messed up on getting the address changed before placing my order and the Deliveroo rep very nicely called the driver to make sure he'd come to the right place. Great customer service. It'd be super nice if Deliveroo could make a tweak to the app to prevent addresses from getting locked in - I move around a lot ha! Pigeon Park is such a fab space to have lunch. I especially liked the blankets Deliveroo provided for us. Such a nice touch!

The venue is very relaxed with communal seating on long benches and a menu featuring locally sourced ingredients. We arrived to be offered the choice of two ciders, one with a fruity mango base or a more traditional medium-dry offering. Once everyone had arrived, a selection pizzas started to arrive from the kitchen and were set down on a table for everyone to help themselves. I tried slices from three different variations, my favourite being the Bullring Boar which was really tasty, with a light and crispy base. All in all, a lovely evening with great food, drink, music and company. Thanks as always to Dan for arranging and to the management of The Stable for their generous hospitality.
