Fresh New Flavours of Jersey at Ormer Mayfair; Soft Launch
A first glimpse at London’s hottest new openings, half price food and top rate service… is there anything better than a restaurant soft launch? Not in my opinion.

Returning to North Wales; A Photo Diary – Barmouth & Beddgelert
In my last post, I shared a photo diary of the first part of my return to Wales in Harlech. I had so many gorgeous photos (after practising with my new Canon 80D) that I had to split them into two posts! Below are pictures from our day trips to Barmouth, a classic seaside town, […]
Returning to North Wales; A Photo Diary – Harlech

Celebrating National Burger day with BRGR.CO

World Nutella Day? Well it would be rude not to. National Cupcake Week?! I’ve always said a cupcake a day keeps the […]
An Exclusive Cocktail Tasting and Mixology Masterclass at Reform Social

I’ve developed a new found appreciation for the skill and artistry that goes into each creation and so when I found […]
Decoding the Emoji Menu at The Little Yellow Door
A short walk from Notting Hill Gate station is a little yellow door, a bright narrow pane hidden between a boutique clothes shop and a tacky tourist store.

A Taste of Peru at Andina, Shoreditch
Peruvian cuisine has made a striking impact on London’s diverse food scene, with a constant wave of fresh ceviche and Pisco Sour popping up across the city. The man mostly responsible for this wave of exotic dishes is Martin Morales, an award winning chef and restaurateur who moved to London 20 years ago, bringing with him his […]
