Since I wrote this post, Pharmasea has sadly closed.  It's always the same when a new place opens, especially in a small town where any addition to the slightly limited choice is eagerly awaited. People get excited, the launch night is usually a...

These days, if it's sweet treats you're after, it's all too easy to pop into a supermarket or your local Greggs and pick up an average donut, cronut, or whatsitsnut for less than a quid and fulfil your daily calorie allowance in one fell...

Don't you just love it when a new place opens up in town? If you're reading this and you're in a big city then maybe you don't get the same little buzz of excitement when you get an addition to the food offering in your local area but for us small...
