"You Choose" — Boston Tea Party

Venue: Boston Tea Party, 30 Harborne Road, Birmingham, B15 3AA; website
Choice: Sweetcorn hash (£8.15) Chooser: Shaney, assistant manager

Convincing us to place an order other than the eggy bread, avo and bacon at Boston Tea Party? Hard work. So wet kisses directly on the face of the airy new Edgbaston cafe's assistant manager who recommended the sweetcorn hash with such conviction, that listen we did. The fairyland of veggie brunching, the main event comes with poached eggs, an avocado and tomato salsa and halloumi (yes, we L-O-V-E halloumi too). But back to that hash, sweetcorn holds hands with ginger, pumpkin seeds, garlic and coriander, to make the dish that takes chef the longest to prep from the all day menu. Get a bit of everything on your fork to reach full herbivorous hedonism. With as much room for families as for delicate feeling heads, and shared tables surely designed for solo Sunday paper dissection, Edgbaston Village's BTP's got five distinct areas as well as a pebbled outdoorsy bit. Head to "The Orangery" at the back of the store if you're planning a long stint.
