De Maines

I like haloumi with my breakfast as much as the next guy, but sometimes I just want bog standard beans on toast. That is an almost impossible feat if you are in Moseley but De Maines provides.
Like the last greasy spoon standing defiantly in the face of the multitude of cafes/​pubs in the area serving £7 full English breakfasts (containing said haloumi and no baked beans in sight), De Maines gives you nice, cheap old style breakfast butties and baguettes, sarnies and baked spuds, brown sauce and old fashioned hapiness!
It’s pretty small, but there are some chairs and tables if you want to eat in. Definitely worth it if you want that simple comfort food at breakfast or lunch.

Living in a multicultural society has many benefits, one of which is the variety of food available to buy in restaurants, take away and shops. I like to have a nice Baklava with a coffee in the morning to keep the blood flowing and the brain on par.
Sometimes though, I feel like a bog standard British bacon sandwich or a cheese and pickle sandwich with a bag of crisps and a can of Vimto. Other times I desire a nice baked potato with a tuna and sweet corn topping.
That is why I like to come to De Maines. They sell all of your British favourites; perfect for a nice speedy and affordable lunch.
The bacon baguette is quite special, smothered in brown sauce I feel like I’m in heaven with every bite. I also have a penchant for black pudding and De Maines are always happy to put a couple of slices in a bap for me.
This is one of Moseley’s only greasy spoon cafes. It is not that greasy, but if you live in the area and fancy a bit of the aforementioned then I would come here to fulfill your greasy spoon needs.
