Rowton Hall is a historic stately home in Cheshire, the oldest part of the building being from 1779. Now a hotel, we visited for a one night stay with the dogs to enjoy the food, the accommodation and for my husband at least, the spa. We stayed in an apartment, which was outfitted beautifully with…

Salt House Tapas, Liverpool
It seems I have visited quite a few tapas restaurants in Liverpool recently. This time I took my newly gluten and dairy free husband and we met Kasia, a friend from my Instagram who is also gluten and dairy free in the Salt House Tapas on Hanover Street. We chose this restaurant as it’s gluten…
The Rock Inn, Haytor , Dartmoor
The Rock Inn was built in the early 1800’s and has been privately owned since the beginning. Now a 2 AA Rosette restaurant, this family owned Inn, right by the famous Haytor rocks on Dartmoor has an excellent reputation for its food and its accommodation. So after spending the morning climbing the rocks, a quick…
The Angel Taste of Devon, Dartmouth
We spent a whole week in Devon and ate at many fabulous places that I shall blog about, but I couldn’t not start with this one. The Angel is a multi award winning, fine dining restaurant headed up by the amazing chef Elly Wentworth (you might have seen her on Great British Menu). We booked…
El Gato Negro, Liverpool
I first visited this tapas restaurant at Exchange Flags at the end of 2019 with my husband. We thoroughly enjoyed it. This time however I was there with ‘the girls’ which as any woman knows, is a different occasion entirely 😜 We began with cocktails and went from there. The large menu suggests 5 or…

Another short one today, involving much sugar, ice cream and even some fruit. For health reasons of course 😜 Haute Dolci is a successful dessert brand that serves innovative and decadent sweet treats in a beautiful environment. The Cheshire Oaks store, which is actually on the Coliseum near the cinema, opens at midday everyday and…

The Blue Bicycle, Neston
My sister took me here this past weekend for brunch. This small, family run coffee shop is one of her standard haunts, yet I’d never been before. Located on the Main Street, with a handy free car park over the road, we sat in the rear of the cafe in their covered courtyard. We arrived…
The Slow Boat, Chester
The Slow Boat in Chester has been there for as long as I can remember. Located on Frodsham Street, above Iceland and next to the Canal, this restaurant serves a mix of Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Singaporean food. During the week it’s serves your regular banquets and menu, as well as takeaway, but it’s at…
Port & Anchor Eatery, Ellesmere Port
This Ellesmere Port business is located in the same building that ‘The Galley’ was in (see earlier blog post), right by the Manchester Ship Canal and with lovely views of the water. Myself and a friend nipped there for lunch yesterday and as the weather was kind, we sat on a bench outside where we…
