All you can eat pizza at Crust Bros
Even though I can’t actually visit there right now, I’m currently dreaming about these delicious pizzas from Crust Bros in Waterloo. Yes I had both in one go! It’s really hard to post content under the UK lockdown, especially for a food blog that is centred mainly around eating out! It becomes a struggle to avoid being insensitive, whilst also being interesting. Luckily, I have lots of food pics from previous foodie- trips to enjoy. This is also an opportunity for me to try some more home- baking, something I sadly don’t get much to do, because of time. Stay safe everyone xx

Eating My Way Through London: Kalifornia Kitchen
Kalifornia Kitchen is a new (ish) plant-based restaurant in central London. The all-day cafe-cum- restaurant serves a menu of healthy dishes to be eaten in or taken out. It’s motto is “Healthy is sexy” and it is free from animal products and single use plastic. Be warned if you visit Kalifornia Kitchen- everything is pink. Whether this is an attempt to make it more appealing to the Instagram crowd, or to get visitors dreaming of California, it gives the restaurant a fun vibe. Not basic in any way :P. After a recommendation from a colleague, I made a visit with my vegan friend Christina, as we were both keen to…

Eating My Way Through London: Busaba, Stratford
We went to this place for a work lunch on my manager’s suggestion. I liked what I had, my manager didn’t. Make of that what you will! Personally I found the Pad Kwetio tasty but not very filling. I do have a big appetite though. My colleagues had a variety of dishes, all which looked pretty much the same size. Busaba, Stratford

Cutter and Squidge, Soho- Strawberries and Cream Dream Cake
My friend and I walked for ages to find Cutter and Squidge in Soho- it was actually slipped down a side- street. Was it worth it? Well, the cake doesn’t need words…

Let’s go nuts for doughnuts
Great doughnuts, great company. I’m super fussy about doughnuts, preferring jam, but these were divine. Longboys, Boxpark, Wembley

Ribs to live and die for
I think I found the best ribs in London! If you wander away from the touristy section of the Tower Bridge/ Bermondsey area, you will come across The Kings Arms, which offered up a smashing half portion of ribs. Read my review here: https://www.weekendnotes.co.uk/the-kings-arms-bermondsey/

Anyone for gyros? Eat like a Greek at Boxpark, Wembley
This gyros from The Athenian at Boxpark Wembley was amazing! Succulent, juicy and gorgeous. Also, today being Halloween gives me the opportunity for the perfect #TBT to a divine Halloween afternoon tea that I had a few years ago. Happy Halloween!

Afternoon Tea at the Kimpton Fitzroy
London and afternoon tea are two of my favourite things, but for some reason, I had never got around to trying afternoon tea in London. My Dutch friend had always expressed an interest in having afternoon tea in England, so with this in mind, I planned a trip. There was quite a bit of competition but the rose garden decor of the Rose Garden afternoon tea in Palm Court at Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel in Bloomsbury enticed me. It also came recommended by colleagues. The whole thing was gorgeous. Everything was beautifully laid-out, with vibrant rose decor. Also, it lived up to it’s name with vividly- coloured cakes in rosy hues. It…

Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life
It has been all about the vegan food for me recently. I’m an omnivore but have a soft spot for vegan food. For this reason I found myself drawn to vegan fare- I often say that I prefer vegan burgers to meat ones. I recently visited StrEATfeast at Alexander Palace, where there was a wide selection of foods to choose from. Somehow, I ended up finding myself choosing the fried chick’n burger from vegan traders Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life- not least of all due to its quirky branding and memorable name. This was super gorgeous. I think Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life has got itself…

Eating My Way Through London: Casse- Croute
After my flirtations with Greece and Persia, it seems like I’m turning back to French cuisine. Visiting Casse- Croute makes you feel like you’re dining in a French village. It may not be the cheapest, but it’s not ridiculously overpriced either. Casse- Croute, simply put, is fab. Situated in the thriving area of Bermondsey, it is small, and authentic. The chalkboard menu (changed daily) only has nine things on it, everything is in French and it feels like you’re being invited into someone’s dining room. It was a hot summer’s night when we visited and the place was crowded, despite it being a Monday (it was also my 31st birthday).…
