Venison at The Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore

Scottish supper at The Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore

January 15, 2018January 16, 2018 by Ellen

Mr M and I have explored a fair bit of the UK, especially since we got the good old camper van last year. But we always seem to head south rather than north. That means one place we've seen very little of is Scotland. Well, I've visited once or...

The reality of where our food comes from – how far are we prepared to go?

December 7, 2017February 7, 2018 by Ellen

Here we go, another semi-serious post that's not just pretty pictures and oohs and aahs about food I've shoved down my neck of late. Oh okay then, there are a few pretty pictures, but I want to talk about something a bit more abstract - seeing the...

Jaboulet wine dinner at The Cross, Kenilworth

Jaboulet wine lunch at The Cross, Kenilworth

March 14, 2016June 7, 2017 by Ellen

When people talk about wine pairings, I'm often left a bit lost. I mean, I like wine - anyone who knows me or has met me will tell you this. But despite trying wine tasting a few times, sampling wine flights to accompany tasting menus, and even...

The King’s Arms, Knowle

May 26, 2015April 12, 2016 by Ellen

With Birmingham and London both easy train journeys from Rugby, it's a bit too easy to overlook some of the great places in the Midlands countryside. So last week, we took the trouble of venturing out into the wilds of Warwickshire to try a new...

Fine dining in Poland – Cyrano de Bergerac, Krakow

May 8, 2015December 4, 2018 by Ellen

For any foodie, going to a new place always involves scoping out the restaurants and looking for a little gem. So when mum and I booked this year's annual weekend adventure, this time to Kraków in Poland, it was no different. A bit of digging and I...

The Cross, Kenilworth

November 29, 2014September 25, 2015 by Ellen

There's nothing like a Michelin star to raise your expectations, especially when you're going to a former pub and not a traditional fine dining restaurant. Being a Midlander, you get used to some people assuming that we can't possibly expect to find...

Dinner party delights

October 28, 2014August 24, 2015 by Ellen

It might seem like Mr Manning and I spend our lives eating out, but sometimes we enjoy a good old dinner party. We don't get the chance to have them that often, because of the sheer levels of preparation they involve, but we managed to rustle up...

Instagram post 2193740239058495322_48718263 Interrupting the #Tallinn spam to tell you to check out the latest blog post which went live today. We visited the @masonsatmeysey when my brother got married nearby and thought it was really rather lovely. So I blogged about it - link is in the bio and yes I paid in full!

Instagram post 2193477598830308834_48718263 Well dinner in Tallinn on night one was rather lovely - ended up in a Medieval-themed restaurant purely by chance and decided it would do for the experience. Little did we know the food would be rather great too. Duck breast, pumpkin and cherry sauce for one of us, spicy beef with plenty of chilli for me, a great chocolate torte with tangy berry sorbet to share and a coffee laced with local liqueur Vana Tallinn. Oh, and a comedy stage show while we ate. When in Tallinn and all that 😆

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

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.
