Genuinely don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous post, but I have relocated to Manchester permanently so I will be updating my website information to reflect that. Hi, hello! I know it has been a while since I last posted, as you can imagine I have not been inundated with opportunities to eat … Continue reading Going plant-based!
A check in
Hello! It's been a little while since I last posted. To be honest with you, quite a lot has changed in my life since then and I thought a check in was probably overdue.

Bob Bob Ricard
You know how London provides a plethora of delicious restaurants that constantly come recommended but often with that ££££ warning on TripAdvisor? Well Bob Bob Ricard has been on my 'want to go' list for a while and with the excuse of a friend's 25th birthday my time finally came, even if my wallet wasn't … Continue reading Bob Bob Ricard
Veggie Feasting at the Fringe Festival
Even though it is my fourth Fringe festival, this is the first year where I have spent some time just being at the Fringe as a punter instead of volunteering. My mum wanted to see what the Fringe was all about, so I took some time off and spent a week seeing shows & eating … Continue reading Veggie Feasting at the Fringe Festival
