Yes I’m writing about Sprout again and I’m sure it won’t be the last time. This trip was for breakfast, which I’m usually not up early enough for, but I’m off there again to tomorrow to try a new small plates menu, yay! So, I met a local friend for brekkie and I asked to…

Tahona Bar, Heswall
A new addition to Heswall town centre, the Tahona Bar Taqueria serves up authentic Mexican street food flavours, fabulous cocktails, and a great atmosphere. I popped down on Launch night to enjoy a selection of small plates, not really knowing what to expect……. I ordered: •Fish tacos with coconut purée & a mango chilli salsa…
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…
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 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…
Port & Anchor Eatery, Ellesmere Port
This Ellesmere Port business is located in the same building that ‘The Galley’ was in (see earlier blog post), right by the Manchester Ship Canal and with lovely views of the water. Myself and a friend nipped there for lunch yesterday and as the weather was kind, we sat on a bench outside where we…
