An Extravagant Dinner Experience at The Castle Inn Hotel

We enjoyed a few drinks by the fire in the pub, (which was, to my absolute delight, filled with dogs!), before getting shown to our table in the main restaurant (no dogs there unfortunately for me, but I imagine that’s better for health and safety!). We were lucky enough to be looked after by a seni...

A Very Special Cocktail Experience

I went to the Natural Philosopher with one of my friends for a relaxed night out in Bethnal Green and it turned out to be even more wonderful than I expected. The pictures on the website really don't reflect how amazing the bar is. It's hidden away behind a Mac repair store and the atmosphere is ...

Crazy for Cajuu

Cajuu translates into cashews. Especially since my parents and grandparents were born and raised in Tanzania, reviewing this product package was a no-brainer. I had never thought that cashews needed a dipping sauce, but after tasting these, I am never having cashews without their dip again! I rec...

Poetry in Motion

They say it was the cold sea air that broke his daze. When the drink dropped and smashed in all of its averageness. “I can do better”, he realised. It was the moment he saw a different view washing in above the waves. No longer was he adrift or asleep. For the first time in too long, he was moving f...

Po'Boys Kitchen

Japanese foodie delights at Ginza St James's!

It takes a pretty special restaurant these days to tempt me to travel into central London. Ginza St James’s, a contemporary Japanese restaurant in Mayfair, definitely fits the bill!

Boys n Berry Brunch

Brunching, it’s an institution. It may not be the most important meal of the day, but it’s definitely the best and what better than to check out Boys n Berry in Parsons Green. A quick 5 min walk from the tube to the High Street and you're at their cute but deceptively spacious restaurant which serv...
