Foodie round-up of 2023
Hope you’re all enjoying the festive season! Whilst I was tucking into the mince pies, I realised that there are quite a lot of places I ate at throughout 2023 that haven’t featured on this blog. Therefore, I thought the end the year was a good opportunity to do a round-up post and give a shout out to all those delightful dishes that I enjoyed. Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas about places to dine if you’re ever nearby. The Recruiting Sergeant, Horstead, Norfolk So we came across this place because I saw it on Google Maps whilst looking for food. We didn’t know anything about it,…

The prettiest dessert in town
Such a pretty banana split! It would have been rude to say no to it, seeing as it looked so good! Dolce Vita, Luton

Sotto Sotto, Bath
Sotto Sotto is such a popular dinner spot in Bath, you need to be sure to get a reservation in plenty of time, or else risk not getting in at all. The reviews are so good that we were keen to try it whilst in Bath, especially as we were all fans of Italian food. Okay so it had a great vibe- bustling with people and lovely low romantic lighting. I felt like I was going somewhere really high-end upon entering. It’s deep within the vaults of North Parade, so feels very secret and hidden away. I’m obviously here to talk about the food right? Starter was calamari which is…

L’Artista Pizzeria, Watford
A couple of months ago I ended up at L’Artista Pizzeria in Watford after a fun day at the Harry Potter studios in Leavesden. L’Artista has been a Watford High Street staple for several years. I’m not hugely familiar with Watford but this was a gem of a place with expansive pizzas and a bustling vibe. This place was fantastic- it felt really old school and local. It was a bitterly cold night when we visited, but I felt like I was being welcomed into someone’s kitchen for dinner. What to eat Pizza of course! But I would really recommend finishing off with ice cream. What to drink The pizza…

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 My Way Through London: Figo, Stratford
This pizza from Figo in Stratford deserves a lot of love. I tried it way back before lockdown 1, so it was a bit of time ago, but it’s stuck in my memory since. Figo is a great little Italian place in East London, with a vibrant atmosphere. The pizza was excellent, so flavoursome and filling. The restaurant is popular with the nearby office- workers, therefore hopefully it hasn’t suffered too much as a larger number of people work from home. I think I’ll give Figo 9/10 for its pizza.
