Dining out doesn’t have to be just a straightforward sit-down meal at a restaurant. If you fancy mixing things up and have never eaten at a casino, head over to the Fahrenheit Bar & Grill Derby. Slap bang in the city centre and adjacent to Derby bus station, you have zero excuse not to visit this restaurant, which has been…
I’m a coffee fiend and was surprised, when walking to a part of the Intu Derby I don’t usually frequent, to see a new coffee shop open. The intriguingly titled bb’s looks like a nice place to hang out. We can never have enough of coffee shops. Of course I have my favourites. I prefer independents over franchises (Vapey Jacks and Café Lavanta do…
One of the joys of working in the city centre, is the proximity to all things good. I love the Intu Centre in Derby, which boasts a range of really great stores, one of which is GrapeTree. This health food store is similar to Holland & Barrett, but feels a little more fun. It stocks cool products including Manuka honey,…
Yo! Sushi, one of the newest kids on the foodie block at Intu Derby has launched its new menu with a nod to all things authentically Tokyo. I reviewed this Derby restaurant when it first opened (here’s my original review). From the bold pop art designed menu to new dishes that really push culinary boundaries, there is something for everyone…

Hey all, how are you all doing? With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I have a special treat for fellow foodies in Derby (and beyond). Do you have a favourite thing in the whole wide world? It could be your snuggliest cashmere Prada jumper, or a hug from Mom. Once you’ve sipped a Shakin’ It milkshake, be prepared to make that…
Hi all, how are you doing? It’s December eve and with Christmas around the corner, you’re probably thinking of Christmas gift shopping. Before you get bashed around the head by all things Christmas in the upcoming weeks and cower for cover as you quell your inner Grinch, fear not. Formulate a plan of attack, make a list of things to…
Hey all, how are you doing? Hope you’re all having a terrific Wednesday! This Derby foodie loves good news stories, which is why I’ll be making my way down to Byron’s at Derby’s Intu on Tuesday 6th October. Why? Byron, the British group of hamburger restaurants, has announced today that it is joining forces with an innovative new charity partner,…
Hey y’all, How are you doing? This is just a real quick post to say that this Derby foodie managed to check out the newest addition to Derby’s Intu Shopping Mall, Krispy Kreme. It opened a few weeks ago and I had refrained until now, because I’ve been eating healthily. Today, I threw caution to the wind and with the words…
Hello World, How are you? It’s the last day of November and with Christmas only three Saturday’s away, it’s all systems a go go here in Derby. I love Christmas and everything it brings, from quaint foodie fayres to seasonal menus taking prime position at restaurants. I’ve been to two festive fayres in as many weeks and loved them both.…
