Arthur’s, Hoylake

An independent wine bar & eatery, @arthurs_hoylake was a great spot to have a relaxed dinner with a friend. I was celebrating (sort of) surviving another year of dialysis. So we enjoyed rosé Prosecco with a selection of small plates to share. 🥩 Crispy Teriyaki Beef🎃 Moroccan Hummus (with delicious focaccia for dipping)🥔 Patatas Bravas🍅…

The Tasting Bar & Kitchen, Hoylake

There’s a new menu at @tasting_bar_and_kitchen in Hoylake. We’ve been here before but wanted to try the new menu. The staff are lovely and although the interior is quite small you don’t feel squashed or too close to other diners. The owners are fabulous and adapt the menus for Steve’s allergies. We then preorder to…

Nua Thai, Heswall

Are you ready to see some of the tastiest food I’ve found on the Wirral so far? Right opposite the train station in a little row of shops is the unassuming Nua Thai. Honestly, this was completely unexpected, even after hearing it was some people’s go to takeaway. I’m not big on Thai food as…

Tias Mexican, Durham

Gluten & Dairy Free at @tias_durham 🌵 So Steve had a golf tournament in Durham and I of course was tasked with finding a restaurant where he could meet a friend. After lots of googling I came across Tias and sent over a few queries. I was then surprised to learn that Steve had actually…

The Hut, Hoylake

I’m so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried @thehuthoylake with a local foodie group! Ceylon or Sri Lankan food is not something I’ve tried before. The Fish Rolls were a game-changer – tuna, potatoes, and spices all wrapped up in a crispy pancake. And don’t even get me started on the…

Taste Cheshire Food Festival 2025

Easter means at least one day spent at the @tastecheshirefoodfestival and we chose wisely this year. We went on Easter Sunday and the weather was glorious. My beautiful friend Leanne from @neonlifeacademy wheeled me about for our day of food of drink. Pics are as follows 🥚 Black Garlic & Mushroom Scotch Eggs from @gourmetscotcheggco🍋…

Restaurant Oxa, Oxton, Wirral

A delicious birthday meal for my husband at @restaurantoxa in Oxton, Wirral. We haven’t been here since summer last year and wanted to try the new menu. We found parking right outside this time which was fabulous, and we sat in the same seats. We enjoyed a beautiful tasting menu with all Steves allergies catered…

Our Coffee Shop, Spital

Breakfast at @our_coffee_shop in Spital before dialysis. And yes I said breakfast! With lots of cake. We started with poached eggs on toast and just boring old toast for me. With tea and latte. But then Black Forest Cake and Basque Cheesecake to round off the morning. I’ve not been since I had afternoon tea…

Chows Eating House, Parkgate

Allergy friendly Chinese food at @chowseatinghouse in Parkgate 🥢 We were pleasantly surprised to find Chows had a gluten free menu. My family have been eating here since it opened in the 70’s but I’d never been so I was thrilled Steve wanted to brave it. And you know what? It was fabulous, he didn’t…
