I’ve been following the Inver Restaurant for a while on social media and coupled with a visit to Strachur last year (where we nearly bought a house!), we decided it was time for a wee cheeky night away and some good tasty food, oh and to celebrate 20 years together (eek!). Inver is a restaurant…

BBQ Chicken with a Chipotle Bourbon Sauce
BBQ season is almost here, in fact over the Easter Bank Holiday we managed to have our first BBQ of the year! It wasn’t raining for once but maybe a bit too windy to sit outside and enjoy our food! Whilst the usual burgers, sausages and corn on the cob are always a hit, it…
Creme de Cassis
Last year we had an abundance of blackcurrants in our little garden, and I mean an abundance! I spent hours stripping the small juicy berries of the bushes and it looked like they had barely been touched! Now, since I have been slowly adapting to the good life (and got a little bored with the…
The Jugged Hare, London
Tucked away under the Barbican in London, on a street corner sits an unassuming gastropub – The Jugged Hare. Looking in from the outside you could be quick to dismiss, as the smallish bar area often looks rammed. It’s worth popping in and seeing if they have a table in their large restaurant which extends…
The Taybank, Dunkeld
We were looking for a night away not too far from home for a birthday treat and a pre Christmas break. I had read of The Taybank in the lovely town of Dunkeld on social media but also in some newspaper articles and it had therefore been on my list of places to visit for…
House of Tides, Newcastle
House of Tides has been on our list of places to eat for a long time, its only an hour and half by train from Edinburgh, so we decided to treat ourselves to an early Christmas dinner. Of course we had to pick the weekend of massive flooding and train disruptions to visit, so not…
Flour & Grape, London
A work trip had me spending my days in the vicinty of London Bridge. This area has no shortage of good eateries, however since the Flour & Grape was on my ‘to visit’ list and was a short walk from the office; it was a no-brainer really. So one night after a relatively late finish,…
The Tollhouse, Edinburgh
Located in Canonmills on the cusp of Edinburgh’s New Town, sits The Tollhouse perched beside the bridge over the Water of Leith. This latest offering from the people behind the popular Dine restaurant is a far cry from its previous incarnation … a derelict public toilet block! It was a Friday night straight after work…
Gorse Syrup
Maybe I am taking to country living a bit too much, but at the moment the cottage is surrounded by Gorse Bushes. That coconut smell is filling the air and from a distant memory of a foraging course I did, you can consume gorse! So, I thought I would make some gorse syrup to add…
Orrin Restaurant, Elgin
Orrin is the new kid in town, having opened in mid November, it is a very much welcomed addition to the food scene in Morayshire. Offering fine dining which is accessible to all, Orrin certainly hits the mark in terms of food, drinks and service. The restaurant is located on South Street, a corner position…
