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…

Atina Kitchen, Chester
Upon googling local restaurants recently, Atina Kitchen popped up as top of the list for gluten and dairy allergy ‘friendliness’ in Chester. An independent restaurant with Italian heritage, the menu covered a wide range of cuisines and had a fabulous cocktail list, so I booked for my husbands birthday meal. Found on Foregate Street, I…
A La Turka, Stockton Heath
A La Turka is a Mediterranean restaurant in the Stockton Heath area of Warrington. I had arranged to meet a friend here after being recommended it by another friend. After running through a storm and climbing the stairs to the front desk I was asked if I was lost 😂 Realising I looked bedraggled, wrapped…
The Bluebell, Chester
We haven’t visited this independent, family owned business in Chester for a good few years now. But upon researching the best local places with allergen friendly menus, the Bluebell popped up. In the heart of Chester, in a beautiful old building, the restaurant serves tapas from all over the Mediterranean and lists everything on the…
BUN. , Heswall
We visited this teeny little restaurant just before Christmas on the recommendation of another local blogger. I saw they could do gluten free bread and jumped onto their reservations page immediately. BUN or ‘Born up North’ specialises in hand crafted burgers using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. I’d stalked their Instagram to look at the…
Hypha, Chester
I read about this little restaurant on Chester City Walls a while ago. A vegan restaurant focussed on sustainability and local ingredients, it piqued my interest immediately even as a meat eater. Offering seasonal tasting menus where everything is used, produce is grown organically and their own fermentation lab produces innovative drinks, I finally booked…
The Chimneys, Hooton
So named for its impressive roofline, The Chimneys has been in Hooton on the Wirral for as long as I can remember. It’s also changed hands more times than I can recount. After a devastating flood earlier in the year, nobody knew if it’d survive but it has been lovingly restored and modernised and is…
Hickory’s Smokehouse, Chester
Hickory’s smokehouse in Chester is located right on the banks of the River Dee and serves Southern USA style barbecue. With locations all over the UK, I bet most people have heard of and probably visited at least once. We hadn’t been in a loooooong time and this time visited with the dogs. Seated in…
The Forge, Chester (again!)
As soon as we finished eating at this lovely restaurant in Chester a month or so ago, I decided to rebook for the seventh anniversary of my kidney transplant. We wanted something special as this may well turn out to be the last anniversary of this transplant. On arrival we were seated in a lovely…
Rowton Hall Hotel, Cheshire
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…
