Having spent 3 weeks in Thailand back in November, I was craving a taste of Thai yesterday lunchtime. Thai food is something I hadn’t really explored much before last year, but my holiday obviously changed that! I can’t handle a lot of heat in my food and it had made me reluctant to try new…

The Bell Inn – Nottingham
Meeting with a friend last week for a quick lunch, I asked my colleagues to recommend somewhere quick, easy and tasty. The general consensus was to try The Bell Inn on Angel Row, Nottingham’s oldest inn. They enthused about the fabulous curly fires and I was almost hooked. As I always do, before committing, I…
Slug & Lettuce – Nottingham
I am usually a huge fan of the chain Slug and Lettuce. The menu is really varied with a good selection and some great offers. So when my housemate Eleanor and I popped to the cinema over the weekend we decided to grab a bite to eat afterwards at the Cornerhouse. The sun was trying…
Tuk Tuk – Nottingham
I need to start this post by saying that the food was really, really nice. There is a reason for this!Tuk Tuk is situated on Friar Gate, Maid Marian Way, on the site that Chutney used to stand on.Still run by the same people, it's had a huge facelift (no more dingy booths or Movenpick…
Notts Tweet Up – Revolucion De Cuba – Nottingham
I have been following @NottsTweetUp on twitter for months, intrigued as to what it was all about and whether I should head along. I haven’t been running my twitter account for very long and my following is far smaller than my blog, so I wasn’t sure if it was something I could get involved with….
Annie’s Burger Shack – Nottingham
I used to go to Annie's quite a lot before I started this blog, however it's been a while since I visited. A catch up with an old mate from outside Nottingham gave me the perfect excuse to revisit and see if it was as good as I remember. This place is synonymous for good…
The Head of Steam – Quayside
Again I am in Newcastle for work and trying to find a nice quick dinner before collapsing in my hotel room with a bit of Netflix. This time we decided to try out The Head of Steam, located right on the Quayside. It serves craft and local cask beers, ciders and a pretty decent range…
PizzaStorm – Newcastle
Now that’s what I call fast food! Over 50 toppings, unlimited choice and cooked in 180 seconds? Sounds like a perfect lunchtime treat!
The Big Easy – London
It’s a big year for most of my friends and I – turning 30! I can’t believe that over the course of the next few months, almost every person I still keep in contact with will be ‘old’ – myself included. When we were at school together, I truly believed I would have my life…
Son of Steak – Nottingham
Son of Steak opened its doors a couple of weeks ago, and I headed down for the blogger event on behalf of my friend Gastronomic Gorman. You will find my review of the launch on her blog soon. Son of Steak is located in Trinity Square, where the old Harvester pub was. Owned by the…
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…
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…
