Lobster Shack, Whitstable

Oysters and wine on a Monday at The Lobster Shack, Whitstable

April 25, 2018 by Ellen

At the exact moment I write this, I can't think of anything I'd rather do than leave this computer sat on my desk and go and wile away a few hours by the sea drinking wine and eating oysters. Alas, I'm going to have to feast on the memories...

Branagh family Christmas

December 24, 2015December 25, 2015 by Ellen

You'll remember that I'm not the only Branagh who loves food - my brothers are equally obsessed and generally much better at the cooking part of it than me. Last time we went to my big brother's we had what I dubbed 'restaurant food without the...

Smoked bass at Restaurant Nathan Outlaw

Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, Port Isaac

September 21, 2015September 21, 2015 by Ellen

I hate being late. More than that, I hate being late for food. What I really really really hate is being late for my birthday lunch at a two Michelin star restaurant. No prizes for guessing how our lunch at Restaurant Nathan Outlaw...

Instagram post 2192473429461794275_48718263 [AD - invited] It’s so tempting to share all of the pictures from last nignt with you guys but I’m keeping a few back so you actually read my blog. I was invited along to check out some of the new Christmas cocktails at @insidethe22 last night. They’ve come up with an epic list for the festive season - something for everyone, well thought-out drinks that taste look as well as looking good, and all with a little story behind them. Im not telling you any more because I’ve got a blog post  coming up imminently but I can see myself spending a lot of money here over Christmas..... #cocktails #christmascocktails #festivecocktails #lovelocal #rugbytown #warwickshire #supportlocal #festiveseason #december #christmas #cocktailoclock #foodanddrink #cocktailreview #foodblog #bloggers #cocktailpics #cocktailsofinstagram #prettydrinks #discoverunder5k #latergram #bloggersuk #blogstagram
Instagram post 2192274886897946732_48718263 Had this ‘petit dosa’ starter at a place at @theo2london on Tuesday night and it was just right for what we wanted. Plenty of flavour in the sambaar, light crispy Dosa and a nice portion size. Sometimes the mainstream places aren’t that bad - we shouldn’t always dismiss them

Instagram post 2192262608517453666_48718263 Yesterday was so blimin busy there was no time for instas and suchlike. But here are some non food-related pics of lovely London on our Tuesday daytrip :-) Gonna be down there a lot over the next few weeks but not as a tourist - let’s hope I can squeeze the odd mulled wine in in between elections and stuff.

Instagram post 2190956994218517002_48718263 When your husband is freezing and demands ‘something bloody hot’ - bravo @curryshacksouthbank for coming up with the goods. Smokin’ hot chicken curry with all the toppings including an amazing scotch bonnet sauce. Exactly what you need on a cold Christmas market night on the south bank

Instagram post 2190227193065357802_48718263 Back from hols and knowing that @libertineburger is just down the road is proving a struggle. Especially when people like @multiforkgasms and @thehangryblonde keep making me think about burger-filled loveliness.

Instagram post 2189531877705880734_48718263 I think the whole world put their Christmas tree up today..... I planned to as well, but only got as far as the table centre. That’s okay though right, since the table is the centre of all things wonderful and good at Christmas 🍽

Instagram post 2188859858047731363_48718263 [AD - gifted stay] After being back in my own bed for one night, we upped sticks again last night for a night out in #Birmingham celebrating our friend’s birthday. We were invited to stay at @citynites apartments and which meant for once we didn’t have to cut an evening short to catch the last train home. Nice and central, comfy beds, good facilities and even some Christmas decs up. Definitely a good option for us out-of-towners. Full review coming up on the blog soon :-) #birmingham #visitbirmingham #apartments #brum #brumbloggers #blogging #overnightstay #fridaynight #aboutlastnight #weekendvibes #bloggersunder5k #discoverunder5k #warwickshirebloggers #travel #friends #outout
Instagram post 2188750446683536919_48718263 Oh hello creme brûlée 😍 This delight was our dessert at @hungrybearleeds when we visited a few weeks ago and the full stop to a delicious evening of comfort food. It’s the subject of the latest post on the blog so head over to the link in the bio to read all about it :-) And big thanks to @clarejgregory and @philmakinson for taking us to such a fab place 😘

Instagram post 2188395269908791654_48718263 When you wake up at stupid o’clock on a Saturday what else is there to do..... except scroll back through the 35,786 photos you took of food on holiday whilst simultaneously thinking about last night’s dinner - of which all the photos are slightly blurred. So sorry, this isn’t dinner from Legna last night but is the epic black Angus we had at a lovely Italian restaurant in Mogan on Tuesday (blimey - only Tuesday!) #blackangus #steak #beef #meat #steakporn #blackangusbeef #steakdinner #steaklovers #holidayfood #italian #puertodemogan #grancanaria #canaryislands #foodpics #foodmemories #latergram #instafood #whatsonmyplate #foodblog #foodlovers #bloggersunder5k #discoverunder5k #travel #visitgrancanaria #wintersun
Instagram post 2187415506951875024_48718263 Home sweet home. But already missing blue skies and 20-something degree heat. Hello English winter and all your horridness. Time to think about getting festive to cure the winter blues I reckon 🎄

Instagram post 2186273764429122388_48718263 Happy Hump Day! It’s the last day of holiday 😭 Last day of daiquiris, of lazy around, of long lunches, even longer dinners, sunbathing, cocktails and general gluttony. Back to blighty tomorrow and to the cold 🥶. So we’re gonna make the most of it and live it up at a beach club. I plan on pretending I’m a glamorous Love Islander - or something like that...... #holiday #holidayvibes #happyhumpday #humpday #daiquiri #strawberrydaiquiri #cocktails #cocktailoclock #sundowners #grancanaria #visitgrancanaria #puertodemogan #canaryislands #wintersun #holidaydrinks #travel #blogger #bloggersunder5k #cocktailpics #foodanddrink #discoverunder5k

Instagram post 2185888958050697879_48718263 About last night... we went back to @quetalbystena - a little place we discovered last year right here in Puerto de Mogan. It’s the only place in the town that does fine dining and it does it rather well. One sitting, a five-course tasting menu with accompanying wine flight (all from the Canary Islands) and all the theatre of having each course and wine talked through as they’re presented simultaneously to everyone in the restaurant. From fish caught that morning in the bay to smoked duck and a trio of lobster dishes dubbed ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. A real experience and well worth a visit. I blogged last year so I’ll pop the link in the bio if you want to take a look.

Instagram post 2184923501512400623_48718263 [AD - gifted stay] Happy Monday! What’s this?! Pictures that aren’t holiday pictures of blue skies, palm trees and cocktails? I haven’t just been getting fat and happy on holiday - have also managed to do some writing so up on the blog now is my trip to @rothaymanor in Ambleside a few weeks ago. My friend and I snuggled up in the hotel, ate a slap-up meal, drank great wine and managed to explore a load of other places in Ambleside too. You can read ALL about it on the blog now and get planning your weekend winter break.
