I was very lucky to be invited to the new menu launch at The Walton Hotel last night on Derby Road. I have walked past the outside of the building maybe a hundred times but had never been in before. I don’t know why, maybe I thought it was too posh for me! I always…

Corner Stone – Sherwood
A couple of weeks ago the lovely Notts Foodie and I went on a ‘date’. We have known of each other for months and correspond on Twitter a fair bit but until a recent event we hadn’t actually met. So in an effort to make a new friend who loves food as much as I…
The Alchemist – Birmingham
My two friends Lisa and Steph live in Tamworth, about 20 minutes on the train from Birmingham. Every few months or so we head into the city for drinks and food and a well needed girly catch up. Last night we headed first for The Alchemist, a fantastic cocktail bar on Colmore Row, and then…

I was invited by the lovely people at Revolution Hockley to try out the new menu available this week. Revolution is situated at 7 Broad St, Nottingham, NG1 3AJ, next door to Rough Trade and opposite the Broadway. Revolution is a chain of individually styled bars across the country. At the last count they have…
Chicken and sweet potato Thai Red Curry
Ever since my travels around Thailand I have eaten more Thai food. Thai red curry is one of my favourite dishes from the country. Its full of flavour but not too hot. Here is my recipe for a quick chicken and sweet potato Thai red curry. Ingredients 1 tbsp Red curry paste Tin of coconut…
#JingleMingle with Prezzybox
On Thursday I was very fortunate to be invited to the first ever Prezzybox influencer event at Baresca. Prezzybox are a family run gift retailer that specialise in quirky gifts and gadgets. I’ve bought from the company a couple of times in the past and always liked their gifts, so it was lovely to meet…
Nottingham Secret Dinner Club
A couple of weeks ago an email landed in my inbox, inviting me to the first Nottingham Secret Dinner Club on 28th September. No other details, just ‘please confirm your attendance’. Well, you can imagine how excited I was, and immediately confirmed I would be joining. It wasn’t until early this week that I was…
Revolucion De Cuba – Nottingham
I bloody love Revolucion De Cuba. Where else can you be casually having a cocktail on a Saturday night and bump in to a lady dressed like an exquisite carnival queen? Revolucion De Cuba is located at 26-28 Market Street, round the corner from the Theatre Royal. The huge building is entered through a door…
Festival of Food and Drink – Clumber Park
The Festival of Food and Drink at Clumber Park is hands down one of my favourite food festivals of the year. The drive through the park is extremely long and winding, and when the sun is shining it’s a lovely drive. Parking is super close to the entrance making it very easily accessible to anyone…
Zaap Thai – Nottingham
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…
Turtle Bay – Nottingham
Turtle Bay, the Caribbean restaurant at the Cornerhouse, is a fantastic place to enjoy happy hour. 241 cocktails 4pm – 7pm and after 10pm, it’s great value for money. You have to have the same cocktail for both but it doesn’t really matter. My friends and I had a LOOOOOOONG overdue catch up this evening,…
