Last week I experienced my very first Thanksgiving dinner, hosted by the wonderful Brad McDonald, in conjunction with French’s mustard. Myself, and a wonderful group of food writers and bloggers, were treated to an incredible feast of the most delicious foods. It was a very memorable experience and had me wishing that we had a…
Last week I had the pleasure of joining a select number of guests at the wonderful Samarkand, just off Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia. Inspired by the historic Silk Road, the restaurant takes influence from the eclectic mix of food, culture and architectural beauty of the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe and Asia. Being the foodie…
A couple of weekend’s ago I headed over to West London, in the hope of finally trying the delights of Farm Girl Cafe, located on Portobello Road, in Notting Hill. Not being able to book, and knowing it’s popularity, I was sceptical if we were going to get in. Saturday is probably the busiest day…
When it comes to finding a good Sunday roast, you could say I’m a little obsessed by the idea. There’s nothing I like more than proper roast dinner, pub style! Since we moved to London we’ve travelled far and wide in search of the ‘perfect’ roast dinner, and whilst we’ve tasted good Sunday lunches, nothing…
Last weekend my parents came down to London to stay with us. I hadn’t seen them since I went on holiday to Krakow with them in June. So it was a long overdue catch up. On the Saturday night we decided to head out for dinner and I’d heard many great things about Pasta Remoli…
A little while ago we had the pleasure of a couple of friends coming down to London to stay with us. After a busy weekend, on the Sunday morning, we decided to head to Highbury & Islington for brunch, before seeing them off. We hadn’t planned or booked ahead, instead we took a stroll down…
A few weeks ago now, I grabbed a quick dinner with Chloe before we headed to watch Beautiful, The Carole King Musical, at Cay Tre in Soho. Located on the busy and bustling Dean Street, Cay Tre has been on my forever growing list of places to eat in London. So I was pleased that…
On occasion we find ourselves in central London at the weekend, feeling hungry and trying to figure out where to head for lunch. This might sound like an easy quest, it’s central London after all, there are restaurants and cafes a plenty! However, it just so happens that lots of our Soho favourites close over…
If you follow me on Instagram you may remember seeing a photo I shared of Bourne & Hollingsworth. A beautiful bar and restaurant located near Exmouth Market. The perfect spot for brunch with a good friend, on a sunny Saturday morning! I had hear much about this place before visiting, and had seen many photos…
Last Sunday I enjoyed a wonderful Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea at St James’ Court, a Taj Hotel, with my friend Chloe. There are so many fantastic themed afternoon teas in the city but what makes this one particularly special is the setting in which you dine. St James’ Court, a Taj Hotel, is…
This bank holiday weekend Stew and I decided to travel into the city on Sunday for brunch at Big Easy in Covent Garden. Having eaten at Big Easy once before, we were familiar with their dinner menu but were intrigued to hear they were now offering weekend brunch dishes. We headed down just after midday,…
