More pizza at Franco Manca
So I went back to Franco Manca in Brixton for pizza (see previous near-religious-fervour for this cafe in my previous posting) and I took some photos just to get you drooling… Tomato, chorizo and mozzarella: Gloucester Old Spot Ham, tomato, mozzarella: Tomato, garlic and oregano (left); tomato, garlic oregano, capers, anchovy, mozzarella (right): Organic lemonade: […]
Cheapskate eating
I love places to eat that not only serve fabulous grub but where you struggle to spend a tenner and leave with a full belly and a smile on your face. Sound too good to be true? Living in London makes it relatively easy to find such gems, as the city is truly blessed with […]
A Corner of Eden
My experience of B&B’s in this country has mainly been limited to the ‘oh-my-god-get- me-outta-here’ variety: homes filled to the brim with scary knick-knacks, presided over by a strange couple who follow you from room to room, a list of rules pinned to the door, twitchy net curtains and an artery-clogging fry up delivered under […]
Proper Motorway Nosh: The Real Food Cafe
Last time I wrote, I was having a proper old moan about the lack of decent food options when on the road, venting my fury towards motorway service stations serving crap tucker, and lacklustre port-side sandwich merchants. But hark, I now have reason to rejoice! Quite by accident, on our way to the Lake District […]

It’s a small, neat place with modern art pictures on the wall that for some reason makes you feel […]
VBites: Oh Heather…
Yesterday, a friend and I travelled to Hove to visit a friend and her two children. We needed coffee and cake. Where to go? It’s always a conundrum when you have a buggy, a 2-month-old baby and a boisterous 2-year-old. She suggested ‘VBites’, the newly-opened vegan restaurant on the seafront, which is the new venture […]
Theo Randall at the InterContinental
Would you just look at the beauty of this bread selection? Ok, the photo is a little murky, but to me, this bread is a thing of marvel. I love good bread to the point of nerdiness (when I’m not eating it, I’m thinking about it or baking my own) and I think the sign […]
Music festival feasting
Outdoor music festivals are great. Especially for eating at. It’s not like the days of yore where you had to be content with a greasy salmonella burger and slimy ‘festi’ noodles, then sit for days on end on the loo while your body tried to figure out what you’d done to it. You can now […]
