Restaurant Launch: Thaikhun, Intu, Nottingham

Hi all, how are you doing? There’s nothing like a good old restaurant launch to blow those mid-week blues away. I was expecting foodie treats galore and the soft launch of Thaikhun didn’t disappoint. I hopped along on the Red Arrow from Derby and was inside the Intu Victoria Centre, Nottingham within 30 minutes. This was in rush hour traffic,…

The Great Christmas Show rocks into Wollaton Hall

Hey all, how are you doing? It’s been a lovely weekend, spent editing, frequenting the theatre (review coming soon) and cooking my first rice pudding (blog coming soon). What have you been up to?

Louis Louis cranks up pizza base (boom boom boom)!

Hey guys, how are you doing? I heard about the opening of a brand new (and downright cool) Pizza & Deli Emporium in Nottingham. Of course a pizza emporium had my interest piqued from the outset.

Hey all, How are you doing? I’m trying to keep my posts weekly, but because it’s such a manic week, this Derby Foodie has lots going on so I just HAD to hop online again. So the Great British Bake Off (GBBO) started again, with 12 new contestants braving the marquee and Mary and Paul’s discerning stares. I only started…

LiveBlog: Atlas Café & Deli Nottingham

Hello All, Hope you’re all well. This is my second attempt to get settled in a café and blog and write to my little heart’s content. I was at 200 degrees earlier, which wasn’t too great for me.

Derby Lunch, Nottingham Coffee, I LOVE my life!

Hello Guys, How are you on this wickedly chilly Monday evening? I hope you’re wrapped up warm in blankets, moonboots and onesies as the temperatures dip to horrid sub-zero levels (I hate the cold, I’d hibernate like a bear if I could in the winter months). OK, I just had to hop on and tell you about a few cool…
