Trunk Lounge – Bramhall, Stockport

You know when you walk into a place and just stop for a second? That’s Trunk. From the outside, it’s pretty unassuming, but inside? Wow. It’s one of those rare spots that’s genuinely fun to look at. We’re talking bold floral wallpaper everywhere, big trailing plants, fairy lights, rattan lamps, the works. And the seating?…

Brusce – Bologna

After a gorgeous day in Florence, seeing the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore ( the Duamo) and exploring the area by the River Arno and Ponte Vecchio, our bodies were ready for a good dinner.

Turtle Bay – Camden

Turtle Bay was a very lively restaurant. This may have been partly due to it being Friday night and it was cocktail happy hour.  The restaurant is recognisable by the cute fairy light strings covering the front windows.

Osteria Solferino – Bologna

Walking along this street in the evening, it could easily be mistaken that there was no restaurant here. But then some tables and chairs were spotted under one of the porticoes.

Berto – Holloway

Berto has a separate entrance to it’s sister restaurant next door, Zia Luca. They are connected inside.

Sakonis – Wembley

A chance passing by the Wembley area one early evening gave us the opportunity to grab a bite to eat at Sakonis.

Bangkok Thai Restaurant – Bradford

Bangkok Thai is a family run restaurant and it has a welcoming friendly atmosphere. It is situated slightly away from the city centre but it is definitely worth seeking out. 

Rails – Kings Cross

It was so special to be taken out for Afternoon Tea with my friend who had introduced me to this delightful experience. It had been a fair few years since we had had chance to have an Afternoon Tea together. The Afternoon Tea at Rails is a quirky and tasty one as it is Harry Potter themed.
