I think croquetas may just be my kryptonite – they turn me weak at the knees and I cannot resist them if on a menu 👀 So naturally when I was very kindly invited to the launch event for the six week Pata Negra residency at Bambalan last week (Friday 13th October), they were top…
Eats: The Inn at Yanleigh
We went for a family Sunday lunch recently at what may be the largest indie pub in the Bristol area to try out their new menu. Ad 🍽️ The Inn at Yanleigh, Bridgwater Road, BS13 8AG The kids (being 15, 13, and 4) can turn their nose up at certain flavours on occasion, but I…
Eats: The Royal Inn, Portishead
The Royal Inn has had a refurb! It’s been so long since I’d been, I’d actually forgotten what the interior looked like… 🙈 📍 Pier Rd, Portishead, Bristol, BS20 7HG I can report back it’s now really bright, spacious, and lovely and what I do remember – the fabulous garden – is still glorious, plenty…
Eats & Explores: Things to Eat & Do in The Mumbles
I’m a big fan of The Mumbles having visited regularly since childhood, but it had been five years since my last (and only) night away there with my mum – I wrote about that here. So we decided to do it all again, because a day trip while great, just isn’t quite long enough. Where…

Eats & Explores: Burgers & Flower Fields in Worcestershire
This year (2023) marked my fourth year visiting The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company flower fields, it’s only open for 10 days each year and this year that’s from 30th June til 9th July.
