It was a slow leisurely walk along the Riverside path, flanked by the River Avon and the Bathampton Meadows from the Batheaston Tollbridge to Gather Cafe for breakfast. Thankfully, while it was meant to be a hot day, it was still fairly early and the sun was still low on the horizon. Gather Cafe on London […]

After a long day of driving, walking, sightseeing and exploring Snowdonia and Beaumaris, there comes a point when another sandwich or plate of fish and chips simply will not do. That was exactly how we ended up at Sarisa Indian Kitchen in Beaumaris on a late Sunday afternoon

Just a short walk from Exeter city centre, Istanbul Restaurant has quickly built a strong reputation. With ratings of 4.9 on Google and 4.8 on TripAdvisor, we were curious to see if it lived up to the praise.

We booked The Ivy in Exeter to celebrate a birthday, opting for a relaxed lunchtime visit rather than a full evening affair. Although we didn’t flag the birthday when making the reservation, The Ivy Collection is well known for its thoughtful celebratory touches, and during our visit we noticed two or three nearby tables receiving […]

Pot Pot Malatang in Bristol takes a different approach, one that suits modern diners, solo eaters, and anyone who prefers a more streamlined, personal experience without sacrificing flavour or choice.

Our introduction to Wara was in Chippenham, where we ordered some of the more “classic” Thai restaurant favourites; pad thai, massaman curry, that sort of thing. There it was called Wara Thai Cafe, while this is […]

Right in the heart of Bath, overlooking the Pulteney Bridge and Weir is Cappadocia Turkish (Mediterranean) Restaurant. It has undergone a stunning transformation. Once a modest establishment with a takeaway counter on one side and a small dining area on the other, it has since been fully renovated into an upscale, dine-in-only restaurant. Plush seating, […]
