Pizza on Wheels in Reigate…yes it’s true
There has been a recent increase in popularity of street food and it’s now creeping into sleepy Surrey. A couple of weeks ago I saw a tweet about freshly made outdoor pizza being on my doorstep and this Tuesday decided to pop down and see what the fuss is...
Field to Plate at The Pot Kiln – WARNING graphic images
Field to Plate at The Pot Kiln A while ago I was lucky enough to be invited on a press trip to Mike Robinson’s The Pot Kiln and The Game and Wild Food Cookery School in Frilsham nr Yattendon. I am huge advocate of the education of ‘field to plate’ to help...
Two Greedy Italians…One Hungry English Girl
So, with Carluccio’s landing in Reigate, we decided to leave it a few weeks before we tried it out. Let the staff and the restaurant itself bed in for a while. Bookings for Carluccio’s had been full from day one, so we were surprised that we could book a...
The Land of Smiles in Surrey

Pear Shaped by Stella Newman…A Tasty Read
Pear Shaped by Stella Newman…A Tasty Read What a nicely indulgent treat Pear Shaped is. It’s been a while since I have picked up a book that I have easily and enjoyably devoured. Frighteningly, Sophie, the main character in the book, reads very much like a period of my history, which...
Thrills at Bill’s?
Everyone Likes a Freebie! After a very lubricated Saturday night with two chums, experiencing the ‘oh dear, we’ve ended up in the After Dark club’ moment, a breakfast of fair substance was required the following morning. There was a unanimous vote for Bill’s as the sun was shining and...
Côte du Reading
Côte du Reading After a fabulous weekend of serious alcoholic celebration of the Royal Wedding and the Reading Beer Festival, Sunday proved to be an equally chilled day starting with a full Irish breakfast in O’Neill’s and then a wander around the wonderful waterways and landmarks of Reading in...
