Bills – Nottingham
A fair few weeks ago now, my friends and I went for brunch at Bills Restaurant on Queens Street in the city centre. I had an amazing lunch there last year, and knowing they did a breakfast menu too, we hopped on over. I love the decor of this place, and the atmosphere is always really…
Jamie’s Italian – York
Situated just off the square in the centre of York is Jamie’s Italian It is spread over two floors of an old Tudor wine cellar, and the space is beautiful. My friend and I were up for the weekend and spotted a ‘two dine for £30’ on Wowcher and so snapped up the deal. It…
The York Roast Co – York
It was cold and wet in York on Sunday, so, looking for somewhere to duck into, Eleanor and I practically ran into The York Roast Co for a bite to eat. We had walked past the window of it a few times over the course of the last couple of days, gazing in through the…
Source – York
So a weekend of good food and good company was on the cards as Eleanor and I headed to York. We wanted to try as many good places in the 3 days we were there and so a quick Tripadvisor check was needed. At number 7 on Tripadvisor was Source, in the centre, just by…
Loves Cocktails – Nottingham
From Monday 24th to Sunday 30th April, Nottingham plays host to the Loves Cocktails Festival throughout the city. Described as ‘Seven days of mixing, shaking, creating, drinking, tasting, clinking, debating and sipping across some of the city’s coolest bars, restaurants, and venues’ it’s right up my street! It’s the chance to explore and celebrate as many cocktails (responsibly)…
My Shanghai – North Shields
I’m going to be in Newcastle pretty frequently over the next few months so I’m trying as many restaurants as possible. My friend Arran and I really fancied Chinese, specifically all-you-can-eat Chinese. A quick google bought up My Shanghai, a buffet style restaurant in North Shields. We missed it the first time, it’s right on…
Kaspas – Nottingham
Kaspa’s are a chain of exciting new dessert houses that offer the world’s favourite hot and cold desserts under one roof… That’s what their website states so I wanted to see if it was true. Situated on Maid Marian Way stands the bright pink eye catching american style diner. I have driven and walked past…
Bierkeller / Around the World Bar – Nottingham
I have been excitedly anticipating the opening of Bierkeller on Friar Lane for weeks, so when a friend suggested a catch up dinner yesterday I was looking forward to heading down to check out the new venue. The multi-million pound entertainment complex looked amazing when the photos were released to the public a few weeks…
Noir – Whitley Bay
I’m staying at the The Royal Hotel, Whitley Bay, with a fantastic view of the sea. Next door is Noir, a lounge bar and tapas restaurant. I wasn’t massively hungry and this was really close (I didn’t even have to leave the hotel) so took my chances for a quick bite to eat and a…
Surf Cafe – Tynemouth
So, I’m in Newcastle for work. I don’t know anyone, or anywhere for that matter. So the obvious things to do to find somewhere to eat are either A) Drive aimlessly around until you find somewhere you like the look of Or B) Jump on TripAdvisor and see what’s around I chose option B because…
Bierkeller – Nottingham
With all the cocktail bars, BBQ joints and pizza restaurants that have opened in the last year, Nottingham needed some diversity! This has come in the form of Bierkeller Entertainment Complex on Friar Lane, due to open to the public on 17th March. Shooters Bierkeller, the national chain, houses 3 totally different ‘destinations’ all under…
