If you can’t get to The Devonshire in Soho, bring it to yours, precisely what we did on New Year’s Eve. After scouring the internet for Devonshire recipes or dupes, without much luck, I managed to find their sticky toffee pudding recipe, an absolute treasure! Ina, I love you, but this ensures that I’ll never…

A Delicious Birthday Bash at Heard Burger
Celebrating a the start to another trip around the sun, brought a warm, easy day in London, strolling around Christmas markets, and just taking in the festive time of year. We landed at Heard Burger in Borough for a quick bite before crossing back across the river. After reading about a reasonably priced burger by…
The Hero- Maide Vale, More Flub than “Top Pub”
The chosen “top pub” for this weekend’s trip as we continue our way through the list was The Hero in Maide Vale. I’m not sure if it’s because there’s not a ton happening in this neighborhood, or if it’s because the pub food is indeed ‘that great,’ but on a late Sunday afternoon, this place…
Discover St. Michael’s Manor in St. Alban’s: A Hidden Gem in the UK
On our return home, the Gentleman decided to introduce me to a new town and I am so glad he did as St. Alban’s might be one of my favorite UK town’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. A stunning cathedral, darling inn, the oldest pub (one of four) in the UK, and a bustling…
Dining Experience at The Pied Bull, a Newton-le-Willows Pub

Discover Newton-le-Willows & The Kirkfield: Essential Stop for Travelers

When a midway point is needed for a rest and some sustinence, please note that Newton-le-Willows is quite an adorable checkpoint for…
An Honest Review of Pizza Punks: Worth the Hype?
After doing some recent pizza topping recon for a home project, I came across the UK’s top pizza lists (who knew that was a thing!) and was introduced to Pizza Punks in Glasgow as a top spot. Coinciding with an overnight in the city, they were launching a new menu and offering pizzas as buy…
Eden Locke: The Perfect Edinburgh Work Stay
Well-situated in New Town, I’ve enjoyed a few work stays at Eden Locke in Edinburgh, a far cry from the Beckett Locke of Dublin. A small lobby with a buzzing coffee scene, small bar, and lovely, well-kept apartments, it is a refuge after a long day at the office. As a bonus, the suites have…
Delicious Pub Lunch at The Black Horse Clifton
Just a quick bit of British food porn to fuel today! After a local recommendation from The Gentleman’s father as a great pub of his younger years in the area, we stopped by the Black Horse in Clifton for a bite of pre-wedding lunch. Having missed dinner the night before, we arrived hungry, ready to…
