A Right ‘Royale’ Treat at The Ivy, Leeds
I visited the brand new Ivy cafe in the centre of Leeds last Tuesday - briefly and blissfully toddler-free. Proudly one of the first to get to experience the latest edition to the flamboyant foodie scene in Leeds. I didn’t take note of available highchairs, nor...
REVIEW: The Ticket Office in Ilkley
Ilkley's super slick and sophisticated over 21s cocktail bar debuts its food menu this week and it's worth the wait. When The Ticket Office in the well-heeled West Yorkshire town of Ilkley opened its ornate doors in 2017, the joint put a night out on the town in...
Supper Club at The Local Pantry in Pool in Wharfedale
Pop-up school dinner themed dining fun Spam Fritters, Turkey Twizzlers, Toad in the Hole, Fish Fingers and a scoop of mash - nope, it's not what my six year old rattled off when I asked him what he's had for lunch on his first day back at school the other...
Reviewed – The Fleece in Addingham
Nothing short of faultless Move over Jay Rayner, when it comes to proper decent Yorkshire gourmet grub there's only one restaurant critic worth listening to and that's my mum. (All images are my own) Put a beautifully presented, delicate plate of food in...
Sod it, it’s Sunday… Sunday lunch at The Chevin Inn – Otley
I've been very clear all along that this is less about being on 'a diet', and more about changing bad habits and adjusting my lifestyle... Then I go and scoff a huge portion of jam roly-poly washed down with half a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc at The Chevin Inn in...
Lettin’ the Latin Love flow at Bossa – Leeds
...Six months into a backpacking adventure around the world with a bloke who I'd met less than eight months before we set off, who around about now, exactly 10 years ago, on 30th October 2006, was about to drop down on one knee on Copacabana Beach and pop the big...
Cooking up a Korean storm – Bulgogi Grill – Leeds
I expect that this is one of the reasons why there are very few Korean BBQ restaurants in Yorkshire, which is a big shame, because eating in a Korean BBQ restaurant is actually a lot of fun. Especially if just like me: A) - you are a fervent carnivore. B) -You so much...
The Champagne Concept – Harrogate
My girlfriends and I thought nothing of throwing sixty quid each at several bottles of Veuve on a Thursday night after work. And Friday night, and sometimes Saturday night. In fact I've probably spent more on champagne in my adult life than I have on shoes, handbags,...
Wapentake – Leeds
You'd be forgiven for thinking you were rocking up at a sushi bar with a name like Wapentake; that is until you look directly under the name and discover that the place is claiming to be 'A Little Piece of Yorkshire.' Step inside, look above the window and all becomes...
Fish & Chip Legends
So today I have tucked into haddock and chips, not once, but twice, served with a side of mushy peas, white bread and a cup of tea at two well renowned fish and chip restaurants local to me. One of which was possibly once the most famous fish...

MENTAL MONDAYS: Infertility & Me
"You'll Be Wanting Another One Soon" Those 6 little words fill me with dread.... 'You’ll be wanting another one soon.' It’s a statement/suggestion that’s directed at mothers from around the time their precious first born reaches their 2nd birthday. It’s almost an...

A deck load of fun! A day on-board a barge through Skipton
When my stepdad announced that he'd hired a barge for the entire family to celebrate my mum's birthday, I'll admit, I turned my nose up at the idea. My immediate thoughts were 'small children, stagnant canal water, travelling at five miles per...
