My body has gone into a bit of shock since arriving back from Sri Lanka. This cold UK weather has left me craving warm winter comfort food on a daily basis (yes, the struggle is real). But indulging in your favourite winter warmers doesn’t have to be a dirty little secret that only ever takes&
The Ivy York in St Helen’s Square is one of our go-to restaurants in York. We love returning time and time again and love seeing what creative, seasonal concepts they come up with on the menu. There was a definite summer vibe upon arrival, with plenty of pale rose being served up on the shady&hell
Last week we ventured out to The Ivy Leeds; our second restaurant dining experience since lockdown measures have been eased in the UK. Although we’ve eaten at The Ivy Leeds before, I knew there would be some slight changes due to the additional safety measures to make it Covid secure. We felt very
Last weekend I went for Afternoon tea in Leeds with my lovely Mum. It was such a treat and it felt so nice to do my make up, put on some ‘nice’ clothes and have some baby-free time with my Mum (very rare these days). I was invited by Crafthouse to try their luxurious afternoon…

It’s been a little while since I last wrote a restaurant review on the blog, or even about London for that matter. My recent travels have had me writing about destinations a little further afield, but I also love to blog about the fabulous city I live in. When the opportunity arose to visit&n
Last weekend I scored major brownie points by treating my friend to a slap up meal at Belgravia’s new Japanese Peruvian Fusion restaurant; UNI. It was safe to say he was rather impressed. It wasn’t until I emerged from the flat with an SLR camera slung over my shoulder, he realised there wa
This month a male blogger friend and I were invited to experience dinner at Aqua Shard London, one of the restaurants sitting proudly on the 31st floor of London’s tallest building. Having eaten at and enjoyed Aqua Kyoto (Aqua’s Asian Fusion restaurant over on Argyle Street), I was
Last week I was lucky enough to tick another point off my ‘Live Like A Tourist London Bucket List‘, which was to experience afternoon tea at a 5* London Hotel. The lovely people at The Metropolitan Hotel invited me to come and try their afternoon tea menu, and being a girl with a serious
