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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Haute Dolci, Cheshire Oaks
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 Forge, Chester
The Forge is a brand new dining experience in the city of Chester. Using sustainable produce, local ingredients and cooking over fire means the food is vibrant and exciting. Adding to that a really knowledgeable front of house team and Chefs you can watch cook your food, as a Wedding Anniversary treat, we adored this…
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…
