I developed a real love for Mac N Cheese while I was living over in the States. Not quite an obsessive love, but the sort that prevents the ability to walk past a stall selling the stuff when I have reached that point where I am way past full already. Obsession or Gluttony? Probably both…

Jamie Oliver’s Diner Pop-up in London
Jamie Oliver’s Diner is on the corner at 23a Shaftsbury Avenue. Before we get going with this post lets be honest we are not supposed to take this as a serious fine dining experience it is just supposed to be a bit of fun. Since visiting I have seen a few somewhat cynical or perhaps…

Pieminister in Oxford at the Covered market
The Oxford Branch of Pieminister is located in amongst good foodie company inside the Covered Market in Oxford. There are not that many Pieminister locations, others are in Bristol, Stoke, London and in Amsterdam (surprising one that) but they do sell their pies to other outlets and pubs so you may get them elsewhere. This branch in the…
Atomic Burger in Oxford
Atomic Burger in Oxford is one of two Atomic Burger joints, (the other one is in Bristol). On their home page they tell us that ‘Atomic burger might just be the best blinking burger joint you will ever visit’ so I suppose we should just give them a whirl then. The Oxford joint is on…
Bakewell Food Festival 2013 – MyFoodHunt highlights
This last weekend I travelled slightly out of town to our neighbouring county of Derbyshire to visit the Bakewell Food Festival 2013. There was a lot of good food and produce on offer, almost too much to retell. So in the spirit of randomness I thought I would post my own highlights or random awards…
Matlock Bath – Promenade and Fish and Chips
Over many bank holiday weekends we have driven through Matlock Bath and seen the hoards of bikers parked up outside one or more of its many Fish and Chip shops. I have often been tempted to stop and join in, but there has never been anywhere to park. So this last Easter weekend we decided to follow…
The Tarboush – Middle Eastern cafe and resturant
It was pouring it down with rain and was damn cold and miserable, so what better than to head for a taste of the exotic sunshine at a Middle Eastern Cafe. Despite the darkening conditions, the Tarboush Cafe stands out on Market Street in Loughborough with its warm Persian colours and frontage. It was really…
Auld Jocks Pie Shop – Scotch Pie adventure
Located just at the top end of the Grassmarket district in Edinburgh is Auld Jock’s Pie Shoppe. I am not going to lay claims as to whether it is an establishment selling gourmet treats, that was not why I walked in through its door, no I was looking for a Scotch Pie and I was pretty sure that…
When the mist comes down, one has to go and get some Fish and Chips – Marshalls in Tynemouth
One minute the sun is shining and the beach is full, the next minute the mist blows in, the beach emptys and everyone heads back up the hill in search of somewhere warm to get out of the damp mist. Some hit the pub, most seemed to hit up Marshalls Chip Shop. The queue…
