Cheap eating in Birmingham

OH and I are staying in Birmingham next week for a couple of nights. I plan to have lunch at home on Thursday, take a packed lunch for Friday and Saturday and take some cereals and a bit of milk for myself for breakfasts, so we'll just have to find food for two evening meals.

We're staying at the following Premier Inn
West Bromwich Central
144 High Street West
West Bromwich
Midlands
England
B70 6JJ

Any suggestions? We won't have access to anything more than a kettle so I think we'll struggle to cook something. I'm not averse to eating unhealthily that weekend - I'd quite like to cover off the two evening meals with £20 for two of us. Happy to walk to somewhere but nothing where you need a car/taxi/bus please.

    There is a weatherspoons pub nearby - the billiard hall, and weatherspoons often do very reasonably priced meals.

    Or have a look to see at the restaurant vouchers on the right hand side of this page - eg pizza hut 2for1, there is a pizza hut very nearby the address above and pizzas start from £4.99 according to their website. (you need to print a voucher before you go).
    There are even vouchers for the burger king if you eat burgers. If in doubt print out all the vouchers you can find in case you decide to go to a place.

    Suppose fish & chips might be an option if you like them and if there is somewhere with a sit down restaurant nearby.

    You will be able to see the Pizza Hut from your room window ;)

    There are a couple of supermarkets close by where you could pick something up if you needed it. (Milk, prepacked sandwich etc)

    If you do go for some grub at the Billiard Hall try to make it late afternoon/early evening - it can get a bit busy in there.
