Mr Ben and his nephew are lifesavers for the busy young professional. Many times I left my desk at lunchtime (shock horror) to nip up Newhall Street Hill for a Chainsaw Massacre. This is how we christened Mr Ben's stock-in-trade, the chilli and cheese large baked potato, with oodles of butter and pepper, for £1.80. There is but one problem with the variety of Mr Ben's fillings: they are all devellishly moreish. Beware!
A closing word of advice - get there early. Should you have the misfortune to arrive after 12:15 you will have to join a lengthening queue in the wind tunnel of Newhall Street.

  Best Thai and Chinese takeaway in the city, on Harborne High Street. I particularly recommend the Thai Green Chicken Curry (£4.50), the best Crispy Shredded Beef in Fruity Sauce and Chilli (£4.30) that I have had from any takeaway or full-service restaurant in the UK. Also try Pad Panang Curry Chicken with Thai herbs (£4.50). Visit the Vine upub opposite while U wait.
