Aloha 65 – Sunshine in a bottle

I was recently gifted a bottle of Aloha 65 to try to review. I had hoped it would encourage the summer on its way after the pretty poor start to the year. Did it? Aloha 65 is the newest summer drink to grace bars everywhere. Described as ‘A drink so different, bold and unforgettable we…

Yumuchi – West Bridgford

A couple of weeks ago (before France, my sisters 30th Birthday, and a chest infection got the better of me) I was invited down to Yumuchi in West Bridgford to try our their newly launched vegan menu. You will know if you read my blog that although I am not vegan I do try to…

Bottomless brunch at Revolucion De Cuba

Noir – Whitley Bay

I’m staying at the The Royal Hotel, Whitley Bay, with a fantastic view of the sea. Next door is Noir, a lounge bar and tapas restaurant. I wasn’t massively hungry and this was really close (I didn’t even have to leave the hotel) so took my chances for a quick bite to eat and a…
