Dinner at The Captain's Wife | Sully

After living in Penarth for a few years, I’ve paid numerous visits to The Captain’s Wife in Sully as it’s a great pub with a beautiful view! What’s not to like! So when I was invited to review their menu, service and refurbishment, I was thrilled! I was able to tie it in with my dads 74th birthday too!

New Menus & Restaurants in Cardiff

Dining at Home Like a Queen

Last month La Belle Assiette contacted me and asked if I would be interested in hosting a small dinner party at my house with some friends... Like as if that's a question! So I got a few of my closest together and let La Belle Assiette do the rest.

My Dream Magnum

Magnum got in touch with me recently and asked me to think about what my dream Magnum would be if I could add anything to their velvety ice creams... After some thought I put together these mouth watering combinations which are hands down my ultimate toppings, including one which is perfect for a Christmas themed treat. Read on to discover what they are...

29 Park Place - Autumn Menu

Pie of the Week

If you take a short stroll away from the hustle and bustle of Cardiff Queen Street, you'll find yourself on the doorstep of 29 Park Place; a cocktail bar and resturant decorated to make you feel like you're right at home... 29 Park Place invited me to their bloggers evening to give their new menu a try, read on for my thoughts:

The High Street Salad Taste Test

Greggs recently asked me to try their brand new range of salads and rate them... But to put them to the real test they also asked me to compare the salad to other popular competitors! Read on to see how they scored..

Hendricks Afternoon Tea at Park Plaza Review (Cardiff)

I was invited to try out Park Plaza's Hendricks Gin afternoon tea last week, and as I had just done my theory that morning (and passed!) I was in need of a celebratory drink and a relaxing atmosphere... Which is precisely what Park Plaza provided me with... (Oh and some delicious nibbles)

My Cookie Dough (Cardiff)

You can't deny the delicious taste of Reece's Pieces nor the mouthwatering combination of banana and toffee, let alone when they are on a bed of warm cookie dough with ice cream on top... Mmmm... We visited My Cookie Dough to do some first hand investigating of this new(ish) pop up shop in Cardiff (it was totally for research purposes only...)

The Washington (Penarth)

This review is of a beautiful cafe located in the heart of Penarth. The Washington. If you live local to the area then you've probably seen this place plenty of times as it's a pretty eye catching building. It has been on my 'to go' list for a good while now!

Maple Syrup, Bacon, & Poached Egg Bagel

I discovered this recipe a few years ago in a brunch cookbook, and ever since I have been in love with it! It's easy, fairly quick to do and so yummy! It's perfect as a special occasion breakfast/brunch, and with Valentine's day approaching, I thought I would give it a share!

If you end up making this then please comment and let me know how you got on!

The Magic Wrap (Cardiff Bay)

I've got to admit, I'm no wrap fanatic, but I am partial to a good wrap every so often. So, while I was tweeting away, a good friend of mine Jamie (Check out Explore With Ed here) re-tweeted Magic Wrap's tweet which caught my attention. What is a 'Magic Wrap'?? I was so curious that I stopped what I was doing and marched to the Bay, camera in hand while fighting against the strong winds. We were up against the elements but no-one was going to take this 'Magic Wrap' away from me.

The Pilot (Penarth)

With so many options of restaurants, cafes and fast food conveniences, it can be hard deciding where to get some grub! Which is why I keep a list of anywhere that gets recommend. Yesterday I got the chance to give The Pilot a visit and see what they had to offer!
