Greek Style Turkey Burgers

It’s summer, which means barbecue season (when it’s not raining) which, in turn, means burgers! Ok, so some of you may be a bit burgered out by now. Just how many quarter pounders can one manage in a single summer?! But just because you’re having burgers every weekend at various barbecue gatherings doesn’t mean you…

Taste of London Winter

It’s Christmas tiiiime… there’s no need to be afraaaaid. It’s Christmas tiiiime, we let in light and we banish shaaaade…  Ooops, sorry I got a bit carried away! Start again. It’s Christmas time in London which means, much to my delight, the return of loads of exciting food fairs and Christmas themed festivals! Woohoo! The…

Johnny Rockets, San Jose

During my trip to California I paid a visit to Johnny Rocket’s, a diner chain that embodies the classic 1950s Americana feel that we all imagine when we think of American diners from the movies. The red leather stools and booths, vintage posters and typefaces used on the menu alongside the juke boxes make this…

Clarke’s Charcoal Broiler, Mountain View

One lunch time while out in San Jose we took a little drive to Mountain View where I was promised we’d have a truly American dirty burger joint experience. We arrived at Clarke’s, which doesn’t look like much from the road, it’s a bit of a shack and not remotely fancy and you could easily…

The Fable, Farringdon

When I booked The Fable for mine and The Boyfriend’s anniversary dinner I originally hadn’t planned to blog about it, mainly as it wasn’t so long ago that I visited and blogged about another Drake & Morgan restaurant: The Refinery. However as we had such an enjoyable meal and ate some particularly notable things I felt it deserved a mention….

The Diner, Covent Garden

Where better for a good old catch up and a gossip with your best friend, discussing everything from your new favourite lipstick to your latest work and/or relationship dramas, than a cosy retro American diner where you can hide away in your booth eating some good old American comfort food while you chat? The Diner is the…

Foodies Festival Presents Feast, Battersea Park

Another weekend, another food festival… It’s a hard life isn’t it?! This weekend was the turn of Foodies Festival with a picnic theme and a ‘pop-up beach’ (average sized sand pit) in Battersea Park. With a group of eight, a 3 year old and a 6 year old in tow and intermittent rain showers with…

Bodean’s BBQ Smoke House, Soho

Bodean’s… Everyone’s favourite barbecue joint. It seemed as if the whole of my office had made it their go-to place for a blow out lunch and for ages I still had not tried it myself. So one rainy evening in Soho, having tried to eat somewhere else, been asked to re order twice because half…

Burger & Lobster, Soho

I have been desperate to visit Burger & Lobster for a while now and when they opened one on Dean Street in Soho, a mere thirty seconds walk from my office, I was absolutely thrilled. Burger & Lobster has been on the must visit list for bloggers, foodies and just generally anyone who eats for…

Foodies Festival, Hampton Court

It was bank holiday Monday and a rare glorious British summer’s day. As a birthday treat for my Mum, my sister and I were treating her and my Dad to a day out at the Foodies Festival on Hampton Court Green. Given the weather on the days leading up to the bank holiday I was…
