Nature’s Path Making Gluten-free Taste Amazing
My go-to breakfast option to kick-start the day has forever been cereal – I am a regular buyer of cereal boxes of different types, granola products and cereal bars.

We were invited along to The Raven for the launch party of their new darts game area, on Thursday 14th of November. We’ve always really liked the food and the atmosphere at The Raven, so I jumped at the chance to accept the invitation! Having read in advance a little bit about what they came…
Pavement, Merchant City
Did you know the term ‘bao bun’ is actually incorrect? Fun fact: bao means bun, so it’s kind of redundant, as its like saying ‘bun bun’. Somehow, however, this is how they are well-known in the UK. The original name seems to be Gua Bao, and I’ve read they are also known as Taiwanese hamburgers….
Nuku Nuku on Hope Street
On a mid-weekend we were craving something a little different, we ventured down to Nuku-Nuku, a little restaurant on Hope Street serving Japanese inspired food.
