I review Bistrot Pierre’s latest menu which is chock full of dishes that have guaranteed a second visit in as many weeks. I have my eye on the praline cream Paris-Brest.
Do you have a favourite place in Derby that is your go-to for celebratory occasions? There are numerous eateries in Derby, but none that feel a little special when you walk through the doors. I am talking about The Wonky Table in Derby. I have been to the restaurant a number of times over the years. Its quirky charm…
*Gifted – ad* It has been over a year since I sauntered down the streets in Nottingham, one of my favourite spaces in the world. So when I returned for my first review in the great city, it was with a smile on my face. The venue was ViDa by Lorentes Tapas Nottingham, and the reason why this may…
Saloons and the wild wild west have always intrigued me. I’ve often wondered how cool it would be time-travel back to the 19th century to see some real gunslingers do fiddly holster spinning tricks. Luckily, I didn’t have to source a pesky time-machine which might you believe, is difficult to come by. When I heard about Red Dog Saloon, an…
I’m hooked on the Great British Menu where I’m seeing variations of curry appear on menus from all regions. Curry is now a de facto firm British favourite, ranking high on top favourite cuisines in the UK. According to one survey, over 23 million people eat curry regularly* and I can only envisage this number to steadily rise. With the…

Hi all, how are you doing? This Derby foodie is loving city centre working and the latest place I checked out was Portobello Café on Queen Street. It recently changed hands and is now a separate entity to Jack Rabbits a few doors down. Jack Rabbits itself has also undergone new ownership, which I’ll also be reviewing over the next…
Italian food is one of the most popular cuisines in the world, frequently appearing on top ten lists over the years. It also happens to be one of my favourite types of food, which is why this Derby foodie couldn’t wait to check out Zizzi on Friargate, Derby. We had a booking for Saturday lunch-time and were promptly shown to…
Hey all, how are you doing? It’s been a cracking few days for this Derby foodie; in between the Buxton Festival book signing in Derbyshire, discovering new places and trialling out more delicious foodie recipes in my test kitchen, the days seem to literally melt away like a Mint Choc Chip Cornetto on a hot day. OK, so the lovely people at Tommy’s Popcorn…
Dear People, How are you? Having a slam-dunk fabulous Easter..? I hope you managed to indulge in all the scrummy chocolate that your purse and stomach could afford. I just wanted to jump on the blog for a few minutes to wish you all a very merry Easter (gosh how Christmassy does that sound?) and that I hope you enjoyed…
