1766 Bar and Kitchen

If there is one thing that will get me out and about on a rainy day, it’s the promise of scrummy food! A few weeks ago I ventured out on a grizzly Saturday to check out what’s been going on behind the scaffolding in the newly refurbished Bristol Old Vic. And it was worth getting…

Miller Green: First Supper Club

There is something particularly lovely about a supper club. One big table of people brought together by their love of food. A delicious menu made with obvious love and passion. A delightful evening of varying conversations with new and interesting people. The randomness when you actually find yourself sitting opposite someone who works in the…

Abergavenny Food Festival: The perfect foodie and boozy weekend!

Abergavenny Food Festival is a weekend-long celebration of local produce. A fab excuse to eat and drink, meet lovely people passionate about food and dance amongst the ruins of a castle… Dreamy! My recipe for a perfect weekend. 🙂 With our wristbands on (bought in advance so they were slightly cheaper) we had access to the…

Bristol Food Tour – East to West Tour

Anyone else feel like they can never keep up with Bristol’s continuously fabulous food scene? Well there is one way to efficiently tick off a few of our wonderful independents in one fell swoop… The Bristol Food Tour. I had the absolute pleasure of trying out the new East to West tour with some fellow…

Felson’s Cocktail Lounge and Stick Bar – getting sporty(ish)

I was met with a lot of confused looks when the story of my bank holiday weekend included playing pool. I tend to avoid anything remotely related to sport – and have been mostly successful in avoiding since childhood. Alcohol does however seem to bring out some secret skills – Beer pong in particular brings…

Dine With I – the roast edition

If you’re not heading to your mum’s for Sunday roast, where should you go? Perhaps somewhere you would least expect… Frankie Loves Ava on Wells Road houses an abundance of upcycled furniture and unique gifts. It’s a treasure trove that you can get lost in for a while. Hidden downstairs though is a cosy and…

Honest Burgers: MEAT & POTATOES

Honest Burgers have arrived in Bristol and are making efforts to make some Bristolian friends. Lovely! With over 20 sites and their own butchers, they have come a long way from their Brixton beginnings where they used to cycle an eight mile round trip to get the perfect beef. They have however kept their honest…

Harbourside Yoga Supper with Anupreet Attridge

I have a particular love for the combination of yoga and food events. The opportunity to chill and chat with your fellow yogis over some delicious food is just lovely. 🙂 How to make this more Bristol? Put the yoga class on the harbourside! Fusion Chef, Anupreet Attridge, had the idea sitting outside Spoke and…

Yakinori: hanging out with sushi

Anyone tried to make sushi at home?  I have – and it is tricky! I managed to salvage half of it to look remotely like sushi, but a lot of it ended up in a messy pile. I think I should leave it to the experts… If you want to see actually how it is…

Koocha Mezze Bar – Bringing colourful plant-based small plates to Zetland Road

I should disclose up-front that I am not vegan. I am sorry – all I can promise is that I make conscious efforts to reduce the amount of meat and dairy I eat and focus on a more plant-based diet. What makes this easier is the ever-growing presence of vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Bristol…

An Ode To Wings Diner

I have a problem…it’s accidental fried chicken I’m at Small Bar for a drink and those cravings kick in. Juicy double-fried chicken for the perfect crunch You haven’t lived until you’ve had Wings Diner for lunch. Wings, burgers or jackfruit might be what you feel But I need me a two-piece ten pound meal deal….

Thatchers Cider: Food and Cider matching at Pasture

I have a confession to make…even though I am a born and bred Bristolian, I am much more likely to be found with a glass of wine or gin in my hand than a cider.  I was all ready to start thinking differently about this apple based beverage though when invited to a food and…
