We were very kindly invited to the (re)opening night at The Star Pub & Carvery in Congresbury recently. They’ve just had a phenomenal, three week £650k refurbishment, and it shows! I had wondered would it be ready on time (how can anything on such a large scale take such a short period of time!?) but…

Eats: Coffi Lab, Portishead
Bea and I took a trip this week to the newest cafe in Portishead, Coffi Lab, which is on the High Street virtually opposite Costa and Impero Lounge. First impressions – it’s spacious, bright, incredibly clean and design wise very aesthetically pleasing. It also wins points with me because the reason it’s coffi not coffee…
Eats: The Blue Flame, Near Nailsea
I’m not sure if I’ll get in trouble with the locals for telling you this, but I know where you can find some of North Somersets best pizza… It’s at the Blue Flame (between Nailsea & Clevedon) on a Thursday and Friday night! Running since the summer, pizza (and pie) nights at the Blue Flame…
Eats: The Granary, Bristol
The Granary opened its doors on Monday (October 16th) as part of its soft launch. Having a few hours free on Thursday (and being a nosey parker), I decided to treat myself to a spot of brunch! I had the Chargrilled ‘sosij’ breakfast roll with an added fried egg and a Somerset apple juice. It…
Eats: Pata Negra x Bambalan, Bristol
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 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: BANK, Totterdown, Bristol
It can be an incredibly divisive combination, but I think I may have found a dish that would convert even the most ardent ham & pineapple hater 🍍 📍BANK, 107 Wells Rd, Totterdown, Bristol BS4 2BS But there was no pizza in sight and this was no ordinary ’ham’. This was the ‘Fried Pork Rillettes’…
Eats: Venice on a Budget, Trattoria Dai Tosi
Would you believe you can get dinner for two in Venice for £38.65?! Probably not which is why I’ve included the bill: A traditional backstreet Venetian taverna and only 20 mins walk from Saint Mark’s Basilica, Trattoria Dai Tosi is family run and frequented mostly by locals (chatting with one of the owners they think…

With a key theme being value for money, offers available and some…
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. Having discovered it while pregnant in 2019, I have only missed a return trip in 2020, thanks to (you guessed it)…
