*Review updated 21/6/19. CLICK HERE TO READ THE UPDATED REVIEW I’ve been to The Townhouse a few times on client meetings for a quick drink but have never eaten. It’s been on my radar for nearly a year, so when a friend suggested dinner this week, I jumped at the chance to go here. It’s situated…

The Fine Foods Store – Stamford
Stamford is a beautiful stone town in Lincolnshire, about 20 miles from where I grew up. It holds a special place in my heart as I met my best friend here during our college years. There are some gorgeous quirky shops and also some great places for a spot of lunch or dinner. My sister…
Carnaro Lounge – Derby
Needing to get away from my computer for a while, myself and a colleague nipped out for a quick bite to eat at the Carnero Lounge in Derby last week. I’ve walked past the place a few times, but haven’t stopped to peek at the menu as I have always been in a rush. The interior…
Matcha cake Mix – Review
Matcha cake is a traditional Japanese cake. I had never heard of it, and when the guys at Hope Makes It Easy asked me to try and recreate this with their cake mix, I jumped at the chance. Nozomi, (Japanese for Hope) the founder of Hope makes it easy, loves Matcha cake. Born and raised in…
4550 miles from Delhi – Nottingham
I’ve been to 4550 miles from Delhi a few times and always found it really lovely. It’s usually the sort of place my friends and I go for a special occasion. The staff are really lovely and nothing ever seems like too much trouble. I’m always greeted like a regular, although I don’t frequent enough…
Sherwood Manor – Carrington
I don’t hide the fact that I LOVE pub chains. Sherwood Manor, part of the Hungry Horse chain, serves HUGE meals at low prices, perfect for the day before payday when you can’t be bothered with cooking or washing up. Don’t expect the best food in the world, but do expect decent pub food, huge…
Fothergills – Nottingham
Yesterday afternoon I went on a date. We were supposed to meet at 3pm at the Castle (I’ve never been even though I’ve lived here for nearly 5 years) but when we got there we weren’t allowed in. So we headed for a couple of drinks at the Crafty Crow, before heading to Fothergills for…
Curious Townhouse – Nottingham
I was long overdue for a catch up with my friend and fellow blogging pal Chloe, so we headed to the newest sibling of the Curious venues, in the Lace Market, Curious Townhouse. Apparently at 6pm, cocktails are only £5! Well, that was all I was charged for the most amazing Lavender and Violet vodka…
George’s – Nottingham
Fish and Chips. A British institution yes? Just like talking about the weather, queueing and a bacon butty, fish and chips are quintessentially British. Georges traditional fish and chips, located on Queen Street has been open a while now. When I worked in Nottingham, as a Friday treat, we would occasionally have a fish and…
Thailand!
So, I have been an incredibly lucky girl! Having recently returned from 3 wonderful weeks in Thailand, travelling through Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Koh Phangan, Koh Samui and Koh Tao, it was a hard bump back to a reality! Having caught a virus late last week, I would give anything to be back on…
The old flower shop – Mapperley
A couple of weeks ago my friend Mark and I headed to Mapperley Top for a bite to eat. I hadn’t noticed The Old Flower Shop before, and it turns out that it’s only been open a few months. A quick glance at the menu drew us in to this gorgeously decorated, modern contemporary space….
Great Notts Show
I headed down to the Great Notts Show this morning, dragging my lovely housemate with me for a long walk, with the bribe of tea and lunch. The streets are closed for the Robin Hood Half Marathon, and it gave the centre of town a nice peaceful quiet with none of the traffic. There’s loads…
