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…
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…

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 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…
