Last month we were through in Glasgow and I put out on Twitter did anyone have any recommendations for places to eat. I got several replies saying I had to try the Red Onion; so we did. The Red Onion is a little neighbourhood bistro just off Bath Street, so still pretty central. We arrived…

Cafe Blue Bear
Earlier this week I arranged to meet a couple of friends for brunch today. One of them suggested Cafe Blue Bear, a new cafe which has been open for about 6 weeks in Canonmills, which I have been trying to try out since then! One thing I hadn’t planned on was the massive hangover that…
The Inn at Torbrex
Back in December, my Father-in-law introduced us to The Inn at Torbrex, a new bar / restaurant tucked away in the Torbrex area of Stirling (luckily Stuart’s an ex-local so knows where he is going!). A few weeks ago when it was quite rainy and miserable, we decided to cheer ourselves up by getting out…
Rick Stein’s, The Seafood Restaurant
A very late post about where we ate on our road trip last summer!! One of the main reasons we choose Padstow as our location in Cornwall was because of Rick Steins The Seafood Restaurant. I do like Rick and his fishy dishes and I thought I’d seize this opportunity to go there! Unfortunately we…

Eat Street
** Sadly Eat Street is no longer operational During the summer I managed to be down in London a couple of times and was able to treat myself to the delights of Eat Street, a Street Food initiative run by Petra Barran and based at Kings Boulevard, up beside Kings Cross Station The principle is…
Cake in the Country
Today myself and seven other cake ladies ventured out of Edinburgh for the first Edinburgh Cake Ladies Road Trip to Cammerlaws Farm for fellow cake lady Pam and her mum’s first ‘pop up’ Afternoon Tea. We left Edinburgh behind with the perfect road trip mix tape of 80’s and 90’s tunes (with a spot of…
Burger Heaven
After a few months of trying, I eventually secured 2 tickets to Burgher Burger 7. The patience of waiting for the buying instructions to appear on their Facebook page paid off – I secured them in under 3 minutes! Which was great as they were sold out in about 3 minutes! On Monday night we…
