Collaborative Post With the Christmas and New Year festivities fast fading to a distant memory, families up and down the UK may soon start turning their attentions to the next major holiday in the calendar – Easter. As the weather begins to take a turn for the better, and with the prospect of chocolate treats…
There are lots of places to eat in Nottingham but if you really like steak you might want to check out Bar + Block on Chapel Bar near Maid Marion Way. Seeing as it only opened a few months ago, it’s still considered to be one of the new restaurants in Nottingham so we were…
Do you order organic fruit and vegetables from Riverford? Did you know that they have a restaurant in Devon, called the Riverford Field Kitchen? If it’s a restaurant you are interested in then read on to find out about our delicious family Sunday dinner and our Riverford farm tour. We met the Head Gardener Penny…
What makes for a memorable restaurant in your book? Is it a warm and friendly welcome? Perhaps it’s the comfortable dining experience? I’m pretty sure an excellent menu and high quality dishes will feature in your list somewhere, right? Well, if you are looking for an Indian restaurant in Nottingham that has all these bases…
I am very aware that the spaghetti bolognese that I cook at home is nothing like the authentic Italian pasta that I’d experience in a five star restaurant but for a family meal it ticks our boxes especially on a school night. However, sometimes it’s nice to ditch the family meal and have a real…
Hands up if you love ordering takeaway? I know we love to have takeaway every now and again with Chinese and pizza being right up there as our favourite online food orders. We go to our takeaway app and place an order from without much thought to how we are spending our money until now….
We’d already had an exciting day in London with a wonderfully English afternoon tea followed by a stroll along the Southbank with some blogging friends. Our day was not yet over, and we headed back to our apartment in Fulham Broadway to get ready for our dinner reservation at the Mango Tree London. Time wasn’t…
I personally love Wagamama, and I really want my kids to love it too. The food is always fresh, healthy and super tasty and I think it’s a great place for kids to experience Japanese food. Wagamama is a great restaurant for kids with its bench-style eating experience and child-friendly chopsticks, but what did my…
Our arrival in Bath was a little bit stressful to say the least. I was not at all prepared for the restrictive one way system and lack of parking in the city following our drive from Dartmoor. Once we’d checked in at our hotel we booked an Uber and headed straight to Jamie’s Italian. There…
When thinking about where to take the kids to eat, I am a huge fan of buffet style restaurants with good quality food and a wide selection of dishes. We were recently invited to Cosmo Restaurant in Nottingham to try out their 5 star approach to the all you can eat buffet, and it definitely…
Birthdays aren’t complete unless you are having fun with family and friends. It also helps if they feature pizza and prosecco. I think the two go very well together and one of the best places to enjoy all of the above is in the relaxed atmosphere of a Pizza Express restaurant with the exciting new Spring…
Las Iguanas invited us to their restaurant in Nottingham this week to check out the new menus, including what’s on offer for kids. Las Iguanas is a South American restaurant & bar that I used to visit before having the girls. I hadn’t really thought about it being a family friendly restaurant to take kids to…
We enjoy eating out as a family, and it always features on our list of things to do when we are on holiday. During our weekend away visiting Warwick this was no exception and when we found out there was a Pizza Express just down the road from our hotel, it seemed like the perfect choice…
Have you ever had breakfast with Santa? It’s not something we had done until very recently, but I think it’s about to become one of our family Christmas traditions. Wyevale Garden Centres invited us to join them and Santa for some festive fun at their Leicester branch one Saturday morning this December. The girls were…
Recently we went on a family road trip. We were heading to Bluestone in Pembrokeshire, but experience has told me this is a long way to drive with two small children. We planned an over night stay at Premier Inn Lewins Mead in Bristol and discovered there was a Brewers Fayre at the same site….
We literally had a smashing time when we went to Pizza Express recently to try out their new autumn menu and celebrate Daddy’s birthday. Not one, but 2 glasses hit the deck as one slipped out of my daughter’s hand at the beginning of the meal and Daddy took one off the table with his…
