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…

Bath

A couple of weeks ago we went on a bit of a tour of the South Coast of England, going to places we have fancied checking out but could never find the excuse to go there! This time we had one – Olympic Sailing in Weymouth! The first stop on our tour was the Spa…

Porto and Fi

Yesterday morning after a little incident in the kitchen, rendering it unusable, we were stuck with what to do about breakfast.  As we work in Stirling and have to leave reasonably early there is little open, except for – the Brewers Fayre?! Not really wanting to go down this route I trawled the web looking…

Birthday Dinner Surprise

A couple of Saturdays ago it was my birthday, and I was treated to a lovely day of theatre and cake.  The final surprise was dinner at Restaurant Mark Greenaway at No.12 Picardy Place.  I have wanted to go here for a while after reading many a review from other Edinburgh Foodies and the Cake…

My First Supper Club

Friday night finally arrived, the long wait was over.  Six months ago my friend Rebecca and I decided we had to go to a supper club, though naturally we didn’t do anything about it until about a month ago, when Charlie and Evelyn’s Table announced they were going to be back in the kitchen over…

Supper with Joanna Blythman

Last Tuesday during a quiet moment at work – lets say lunchtime… I had a wee flick through twitter to see what was going on in the world, when I noticed someone had re-tweeted Taste Communications tweet about a 2 course supper with Joanna Blythman who has just launched her new book – What to…

Il Pirata

Another new local restaurant has popped up near my parents, this time on the Upper Newtownards Road – Il Pirata, in what was an old KFC, though completely unrecognisable as an ex-fast food joint!  Il Pirata is named after a dead Italian racing cyclist, Marco ‘Il Pirata’ Pantani,  (because of his love of ear-rings and…

Ace, Belfast

Round where my parents live is going through some kind of eateries boom.  Every time I come home there seems to be another new restaurant in the area.  Ace is situated on the Belmont Road in Belfast, in what used to be ‘The Gourmet Burger Bank’ and before that a branch of the First Trust…

Horatio Todd’s

Another food post from Belfast (did I mention I ate  a lot when I was there?). Horatio Todd’s is a local bar / restaurant in  the Ballyhackamore area of Belfast.  A recent article in the local newspaper stated there were 22 different bars and restaurants in the area – who knew? I remember the days…

Made In Belfast

We were back in Belfast last weekend and we did spend a good lot of the time eating out.  One place which I tend to back to time and time again is Made in Belfast.  They have recently opened another restaurant in the Cathedral Quarter and its just as good as the one beside the…
