We had lunch here as a family between Christmas and New Year and it was absolutely heaving with people. Being close to Cheshire Oaks the traffic was pretty awful too, but once in and seated we enjoyed some nice pub grub. The Rake Hall is a Brunning & Price pub though so we had to…

Three Dollar Bill Pizza, Hoylake
I have wanted to visit Three Dollar Bill for an absolute age and this week I finally got to go. Situated on Market Street in Hoylake we parked up and arrived on what was probably the coldest night of the year so far. Serving Detroit style pizzas, which are super thick and rectangular, tater tots…

Ateyate, Little Sutton
We have a new Chinese restaurant in Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port and myself and a friend were lucky enough to have a sneak preview of the ‘dine in’ menu last night. Ateyate has opened in what used to be Cafe India, but was previously one of my favourite Chinese restaurants the Tai Ping. So I…
Nextdoor, Frodsham
We enjoyed a beautiful anniversary meal at Nextdoor in Frodsham.Set in a 17th century timber framed building, it felt very intimate and dare I say romantic.

Marino Lounge, New Brighton
Right on Marine Point, sits Marino Lounge. A chilled out cafe and bar that serves fabulous food and an amazing menu of gluten free and vegan options. Upon reading the menu my husband was astounded at all the things he could eat and was cross at me for not bringing him earlier 🤣 The menu…

A new addition to Heswall town centre, the Tahona Bar Taqueria serves up authentic Mexican street food flavours, fabulous cocktails, and a great atmosphere.
