How I plan store cupboard meals

7th June 2020

Meal planning is something that you either love or hate and for me it depends how I’m feeling. If I’ve got a new recipe book or something in mind that I’m dying to make, I love it! But, when I’m feeling a bit uninspired it can feel like a drag. We switch between meal prep boxes such as Hello Fresh and Gousto and weekly meal plans of our own ideas or classic meals we’ve been making for years. I’ve linked some of my favourite Gousto recipes in my lockdown fun blog post. Read More

Revolution Cornerhouse Bottomless Brunch Review

Food & Drink

15th March 2020

Revolution at Cornerhouse in Nottingham kindly invited us for a gifted brunch to try their new Bottomless Brunch menu and see what we thought.

Location
Being super central to Victoria Centre and most of the bus and tram stops this Revolution is in a great spot. Plus, you’re close to other bars like Secret Garden which is perfect in the summer, Copper, Ginsecco and Alto if you want to continue the party. Read More

AD | Where to eat in Nottingham: The Cod’s Scallops

Food & Drink

11th January 2020

Before Christmas I had the privilege to pop down to The Cod’s Scallops in Carrington to check them out and learn all about their eateries before the 2020 Fish n Chip Awards that are this month! The Cod’s Scallops are an amazing local chain of fish and chip shops created by John Molnar, who used his 30 years of chef and business experience to get onboard a skilled crew, source the finest produce and set sail a fish and chip concept like no other. It really is unlike any other chippy I’ve ever been to! Read More

AD | Create Christmas with Lindt UK

Food & Drink

24th November 2019

This weekend we were very lucky to have been invited down to the Lindt store at the East Midlands McArthurglen Designer Outlet to create an advent calendar and a gifting hamper.

I had no idea how many different flavours of Lindt Lindor there actually is! From your standard milk and white to amazing mint, orange, mango, lime, cappuccino, champagne, caramel, you name it – there’s a Lindor with the flavour. We created an amazing advent calendar with a different Lindor each day for us to share and I’m so excited for December 1st to roll around. Read More

Food & Drink

20th October 2019

Another foodie post to throw into the mix this week. Eating out is one of my favourite things to do and I wanted to share three of my go-to places in Nottingham for small plates and tapas style dishes. These are all three different cuisines – we have Indian, Spanish and Italian here and they’re all incredible. Read More

A Sunday Day Date

Food & Drink

13th October 2019

Life has been all over the place recently with getting back into the swing of work after holiday, trying to get my head around planning a wedding and both working really hard, we needed a day date. Saturday evenings are either chilling together watching telly or seeing friends for both of us so finding time to really have a proper date is super important with us. Read More

Burra Khana Nottingham Review

Food & Drink

6th October 2019

Burra Khana is located in the Hockley area of Notts and is where Red Dog Saloon still is. The owners have split the building in two, which I understand as the space is really big but the two restaurants are essentially in the same place which makes the whole thing a bit weird to be honest. There were people behind us eating tacos and BBQ food whilst we were eating a curry and at the end of the meal we were offered the dessert menu ‘from the other place’ which was super strange.

Where to Eat in Nottingham: Penny Lane

Food & Drink

24th August 2019

If you love sweet potato fries and air hockey, have I got the venue for you.

We checked out Penny Lane when it first opened and loved the games and cocktails but I haven’t had a chance to try the food properly and finally we did. A tasty little lunch was just what the doctor ordered for a chilled weekend (and it was the day before we got on the holiday prep so we went all out!). I’ll get straight into the delicious food because I was really impressed and would definitely go for lunch again. I’ve actually already booked our work Christmas party for here for December because I loved the games and cocktails so much I took a chance on the food and I’m glad that I have now. Read More

Pieminister Escape Room & Pie Review

Food & Drink

13th July 2019

If you know me, you’ll know that I love an activity. You’ll more likely find me doing crazy golf, a bottomless brunch with bingo or more recently, escape rooms instead of on a big night out. I first did an escape room about three years ago and had no idea what to expect but since then I’ve done about 5 or 6 at a range of locations and I am such a fan. They’re so fun to do with friends and family and you really learn how to work together and you’ll definitely have a laugh – I guarantee it! I love the mix of themes and stories that you can get at different escape rooms. There are two at Pieminister, the Demon Barber and Germageddon! Read More

Where to Eat in Nottingham: The Playwright, 38.

Food & Drink

30th June 2019

You’ve heard of The Orange Tree, right? If you’ve ever been a student or lived in Nottingham for a while then you would have. One of the closest pubs to Nottingham Trent University, The Playwright, 38 is now the new, revamped The Orange Tree pub. Same layout, some of the same staff and same building but a lovely little update. First of all, you can’t miss this revamp from the outside – it is stunning and I love the dark blue and red against the white contrast. It looks super fresh but it’s still got the bar, toilets and garden snug area in the same places. Read More
