- and, as Rai had promised - left us feeling pleasantly sated but not at all uncomfortable.

We'd headed to Birmingham for our curry-themed break by train.

Services with Avanti West Coast are quick and slick, with up to three an hour from London, taking as little as an hour and a quarter.

There are also direct trains from Glasgow, Preston, Edinburgh and Manchester.

As an added perk, our trains were part of Avanti's swanky new Evero fleet - quieter and roomier than previously with wireless charging points and greater legroom.

Our base in Brum was The Grand Hotel which - like curry itself - is a city stalwart.

Opened in 1878 by pork-butcher-turned-property-developer Isaac Horton on swanky Colmore Row, its former guests include Bob Dylan, King George VI, The Beatles and Tom Cruise.
