Nottingham Food Festival – Wollaton Park
Yesterday my parents and I headed to Wollaton Park for the Nottingham Food Festival, an event run by Living Heritage. We arrived at around 11.30am and the place was already busy, the car park filling up nicely. With the view of Wollaton Hall in the background and a dry forecast, it was set to be…
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…
Teacups Tearooms – Newark
I turned 30 in June (sob), and my wonderful best friend Tracey surprised me with a ‘Mad Hatters’ themed afternoon tea at Teacups Tearoom, Newark. Tracey and I have known each other for 14 years this year, although it feels like only a couple of years ago we sat next to each other at our…
Notts Street Food Club Gin And Jazz Night
I absolutely love Notts Street Food Club. I've been a few times both for lunch and dinner and the choice of cuisine is always fantastic. Open Friday to Sunday every week, it showcases amazing independent street food brands and alcoholic beverages, and seats 150 punters. I admit that I'm usually drawn to the resident stand,…
Inferno – Nottingham (part two)
Already the best place to grab a pizza in 180 seconds, Inferno launched their ‘craft your own salad’ this week. Perfect for this warm weather, so I headed down today to try it out. (Check out my review of their pizzas here 😍) Whenever I go to a restaurant or cafe for a salad, I am always…
Yamas – Nottingham
It was my lovely friend Chloe’s birthday last week, and so we dropped in to one of my favourite restaurants, Yamas Meze & Tapas for dinner. Yamas is located in Hockley on Thurland Street, serving gorgeous, freshly prepared Greek meze dishes and fantastic customer service. It’s an intimate, dark restaurant with a small downstairs and…
Kaltur – Newcastle
I’m staying in Newcastle for work a lot at the moment and last night we stayed at Motel One. For £59 a night, it is fantastic! It’s tucked away on a side street (with no parking) and opposite is a gorgeous Catalan Restaurant, Kaltur. Located on High Bridge Road and run by a group of…
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…
Buddha bowl – recipe
I love Buddha bowls, so called because they should be bulging like buddhas stomach. You can pack them with so much healthy goodness and they fill you up for ages. I try to fill mine with a good source of protein, veggies and a crop such as rice, bulgar wheat, couscous or quinoa. The great…
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…
Tandoori inspired chicken with avocado Mayo – recipe
I love Indian food. I’m also on a diet. These two things don’t usually mix well for me as I love rice and garlic naan bread! So, taking inspiration from my love of chicken shashlik I decided to attempt my own Indian spiced chicken! My friend Rob came for tea and a catch up and…
