Profiteroles at Fotheringills
I thought I was going to skip pudding- I was wrong! The food at Fotheringills in Nottingham is amazing, but the profiteroles were the best out of all of them. Also recommended is the pork belly, but I decided just to focus on the profiteroles 🙂

Dining out in beautiful Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire is a really under-rated place. In a 2018 YouGov poll, 42000 people named Bedfordshire as the least popular of the 42 countries. It seems to be a country that people pass through, rather than linger in. However, there is plenty to enjoy and experience in Bedfordshire, not least the food. Here is a round-up of some of the best meals I’ve enjoyed whilst eating out in mid- Bedfordshire over the last few months. The Chequers, Westoning This cute little thatched pub is about 10 minutes off junction 12 on the M1 and is worth a visit if you find yourself in the area. I really couldn’t fault this place…

Sweet Treats and Seafood in Brighton
As lockdown continues to ease across the UK, I thought I’d finally get around to writing a post on my trip to Brighton- or rather, the food I ate on my trip to Brighton.

So, let’s start with these super scrummy ice creams I had at Bill’s and Donatello. So light and creamy. One morning, I had pancakes with blueberries and cream for breakfast, which felt very decadent: Not the healthiest start to the day! But my…

Eating My Way Through London: Pasta at Vapiano
I was looking through old pictures on my phone and came across some photos of my visit to Vapiano last year. I’m not obsessed with pasta (okay, I am), but pasta is great to photograph. Is that just me? Anyway, Vapiano is a canteen- style Italian restaurant that caters to the ‘swipe and go’ generation. I think it’s worthy of a mention on this blog as the pasta is fabulous. And they offer takeaway- ideal for these Covid times. There’s a few branches around London, so if you’re near one, it’s worth paying a visit. And if you’re not…put it on the list of places to visit in London when…

Eating outside again (finally)
As the lockdown restrictions have eased, it’s been so good to be able to enjoy food and drink at a restaurant or cafe outside. I have been off work over the last week whilst transitioning between jobs, which has given me additional time to really make the most of it. Here is a round-up of some of the places I visited. The Paper Mill, Apsley It was lovely weather at the weekend so my boyfriend and I decided to celebrate by visiting a charming canal-side restaurant near where he lives. We both had beefburgers, but I could only get my hands on the brownie sundae by ordering it from the…
