Original Patty Men (Stirchley)

You're walking down Pershore Road past the usual suspects when you spot Original Patty Men, and you just know you're in for something good. This is proper Caribbean street food that doesn't mess about with pretence — just excellent patties with fillings that actually taste like someone's put thought into them. The kind of place where locals queue up because the word's got out, and the ratings reflect people who genuinely rate what's happening here. Stirchley's got increasingly interesting food spots, and this slots right in alongside the neighbourhood's growing reputation for authentic, unpretentious cooking.
