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…
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…
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…
Cafe Oceano – Albifeira Old Town
Located overlooking the beach in Old Town, Cafe Oceano is a Frost Family favourite. We have been coming here for years, and it’s no surprise why. The food is almost always amazing, the staff are lovely and genuinely seem to remember you each year, and the view is gorgeous, especially as the sun is setting. *image…
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!
St Sushi – Newcastle
Earlier this week, I was in Newcastle again with one of my bosses. I love to eat out but sometimes I am so tired after being at work that I opt to stay in my hotel room with a Deliveroo (usually Yo Sushi) However, on Wednesday, the sun was out and we both fancied a…
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…
La Parisienne – Southwell
It was a lovely sunny day on bank holiday Monday when I headed to La Parisienne in Southwell. I have been on a few dates with a lovely, if very quiet, guy that lives in the town and so I wanted to see his home turf. He picked the place, not too far from the…
