The Coppermine Creamery, Ellesmere Port

The long established Coppermine Creamery on Chester Road in Whitby, Ellesmere Port, has been on my list to try for a good while now. Open only until early afternoon though, I often missed the opportunity. But not this time! I purposely got up early to go and enjoy a traditional breakfast here. With no social…

A Trip To Türkiye

Turkey is our holiday destination of choice when we want a simple, no fuss trip, with good food, nice weather and seen as my parents live there, brilliant accommodation too. You might associate Turkey with kebabs and carpets but there’s much more to the foodie scene than meat on a stick. Though meat on a…

Rio Brazilian, Warrington

Rio Brazilian is an authentic Brazilian steakhouse chain with restaurants dotted about the UK. They serve traditional meat cuts Rodizio style, bringing skewers to your tables whilst you help yourself to the salad and sides bar. We were kindly invited down to try the Warrington restaurant, located at the Golden Square shopping centre. Parking was…

Twenty First Amendment, Hoylake

I’d heard good things about this speakeasy bar in Hoylake, and was excited when they said they could do a roast dinner suitable for Steve and his food intolerances. And to hear it was also dog friendly was an added bonus. So we drove up, found parking easily, and walked the dogs down to this…

Inglewood Manor, Cheshire

This year we chose Inglewood Manor to take our mum for a Mothers Day afternoon tea. The Edwardian Manor has an impressive frontage and is in beautiful grounds and luckily we found easy parking. A quick trot through the impressive reception area, complete with roaring fire, led us to a bit more of an old…

The Fishpool Inn, Delamere

Positioned on the edge of Delamere Forest, this family friendly venue is a favourite of ours. This time we went for Sunday dinner, without the dogs, so we could sit in the brighter restaurant area. The table we were given was in a lovely spot, despite being by a drafty door. Two of us went…

The Forge, Chester

I’ve written about The Forge before, but this time we went on a Sunday. For a Sunday lunch I have read all about. Able to cater to Steve’s food intolerances, we sat down and were guided through the menu by a lovely waitress. She listed what could and couldn’t be adapted and what wouldn’t need…

The Grace Arms, Ellesmere Port

I have known The Grace Arms on Stanney Road for most of my life, but have not visited in nearly two decades. Owned by Greene King Pubs, the location closed in November 2022 for refurbishment. After a six figure investment it then reopened as a Flaming Grill, with a brand new food menu, new decor…

Irby Mill, Wirral

This traditional sandstone pub on the Wirral was our choice for lunch this past Sunday. Cosy and inviting, this place is the site of a former windmill but now serves up inviting pub food and real cask ales. Dog friendly throughout and very willing to accommodate Stevens food intolerances, we were ushered through a very…
