Recently we headed to Whitby for a couple of days of sea air, fish and chips and checking out Dracula’s hang outs.
The food in Whitby is absolutely lovely, you pretty much can’t go wrong anywhere that you go but we definitely had some favourites that we visited across the three days that we were there that I wanted to share!
Foodie posts are why I love to go on holiday! Here are the best places we ate in Tsilivi, Zakynthos when we headed there on our Jet2Holidays trip that you can read all about here.
1. Aliotiko Restaurant
If you’re looking for serious portions, amazing value for money and traditional Greek food this is a great shout. We shared the courgette balls and calamari for starters and the traditional Greek platter which had stifado, moussaka, stuffed pepper, potatoes, pitta and salad. We were absolutely stuffed and couldn’t finish everything so it was definitely shareable between three comfortably. The food was really tasty and it was so nice to have some traditional Greek dishes. We spent around €45 for all of this food in a centre of town location including a drink each.

From the Smokehouse to Your House….
One of the county’s biggest foodie success stories, Hickory’s Smokehouse, has ramped up its national Hickory’s At Home range for the festive season to include a whole host of Southern inspired gifting ideas.
From full on seasonal BBQ feasts, already to heat and eat at home to a fabulously festive range of gifting ideas which are perfect for foodie friends, BBQ fanatics and cocktail connoisseurs!
Lucky Nottingham we’ve been graced with the presence of Hickory’s Smokehouse and before I even saw it was open myself I’d heard lots about it. We tried for weeks to get booked in and finally got in on a Wednesday evening – the first slot available! This isn’t a sponsored or a gifted experience we headed down ourselves as we love barbecue food and just had to try it.
The food in London is always top of our list when we visit, grabbing things that we usually wouldn’t be able to, heading to some of our favourite restaurants and finding new gems. Here’s a few favourites we ate during our latest trip!
When we arrived we headed, we checked in at the beautiful Hart Shoreditch hotel and then headed straight out to Spitalfields Market to grab some snacks and a quick drink. We ended up at Humble Crumble devouring an apple crumble and custard topped with meringue pieces – this was delicious. Obviously the cost of things in London is something we always forget about until we get there so £6.50 for a ‘regular’ crumble is pricey but it was very tasty. We then popped and had a quick drink at The Gun, a pub just opposite the Benefit side of Spitalfields Market – they had Beavertown on tap which is always a win.
Here’s a little style of blog post I haven’t done in a while! A review of somewhere that I’ve been a paying customer in, multiple times, since we moved to Hucknall, Nottingham. We’ve lived here less than two weeks and I think we’ve been to The Station maybe four times?
This is our new local and we absolutely love it. Real ales, craft beers and amazing food. I just wanted to give it a little shout out if you’re around the area and you fancied a snack, a pint or an awesome home cooked pub lunch.

As much as I’m a lover of a takeaway, pizza and a brownie I do love my healthy snacks too and I like to think I’m pretty balanced most of the time. I’m always on the look out for a new taste, a new snack and something to mix up my routine because I do get a bit bored of eating the same thing all the time. So when Erbology contacted me to see if I wanted to try some of their snacks I of course said yes!
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.
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.
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.
