Tucked away in a corner of Liverpools historic Royal Albert Docks is The Smugglers Cove. Home to 151 types of rum, gin tequila and whiskey, I was kindly invited to try out their new brunch menu. After a brisk walk from the bus station (the trains were off) we arrived to a lovely, welcoming, and…

Bakchich, Bold Street, Liverpool
Bakchich on Bold Street in Liverpool is a Lebanese and Moroccan restaurant that myself and a friend headed pretty much straight for when we arrived in town. I love Lebanese food (I have Lebanese ancestry) and knew my friend would too. We were told there would be a ten minute wait to be seated but…
Leaf, West Kirby
Leaf started out as a small business in Liverpool with the aim of bringing quality loose leaf tea to the city. After expanding, evolving and growing they now boast a building on Bold Street in the city centre, on Smithdown Road and on Blackhorse Hill in West Kirby. Offering locally sourced food, a massive tea…
Haighton Manor, Preston
Haighton Manor was the location for a lovely Sunday lunch with friends recently. An old hospital, this now refurbished building sits in lovely green surroundings and has a lovely old pub feel inside. As a Brunning and Price pub, the food is a little pricey and Steve had limited options but we enjoyed ourselves nevertheless….
Veeno, Chester
Veeno are Sicilian wine makers who serve not only a great selection of wines, but a great selection of foods too. I’ve walked past this place in Chester loads of times but only finally visited with my sister yesterday. As we were celebrating our birthdays we chose a bottle of Zibibbo white wine to share…
The Bristol Trader, Haverfordwest
On our recent trip to Pembrokeshire we spent a day in Tenby and Haverfordwest for my birthday. Steve had booked the Bristol Trader online and we ended our day in this pleasant little pub. There has been an Inn here on the Quay since the 1700’s and is so named as traders from Bristol would…
Pars Kahve, Chester
Pars Kahve, or Leopard Coffee, opened late summer 2021 and celebrates Turkish traditions with a modern twist. I visited earlier this year for çai and baklava, and have wanted to return for a full meal ever since. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Turkey, I appreciate the effort the owners have…
Moules A Go-Go, Chester
Located on Cuppin Street, Moules A Go-Go is an independent bar, cafe and bistro that specialises in fresh mussels that come from suppliers in The Menai Straits and the West coast of Scotland. We used to dine here frequently when they were located on the historic Chester Rows but had a bad meal here when…
Like Creperie, Eastham
I was kindly invited to this quirky little place in Eastham a few weekends ago. Open for a year, it offers everything from bubble waffles and crepes to wraps and burgers of every type. It was a beautiful day when we went and so the big front doors were wide open and welcoming……. The menu…
The Goat Inn, Glandwyfach
After a lovely weekend in Porthmadog we stopped, with our two dogs, at The Goat Inn in Glandwyfach. We had previously booked a table which turned out to be a great idea, as with only opening a few hours at lunch and dinner, they were turning people away at the door. We had spoken to…
