I’m an ex-vegetarian and still favour veggie meals a lot of the time – I think they can often be more creative and interesting than their meaty counterparts as there are no (admittedly delicious) meat flavours to fall back on. DanMan however, although a lover of many a meatless dish, loves to tuck into steaks […]
Eats
Cosy Club, York
I’ve been desperate to give Cosy Club a visit ever since it opened a couple of months or so ago; it’s exactly my kind of food, all the cocktails sound amazing and it couldn’t be in a more incredible building. But alas, every time Danman and I plan a meal and I suggest this place, […]
Lime House, York
Last week was mine and DanMan’s five year anniversary, an event I look forward to every year for the sole reason that it means we have an excuse to go to a fancy restaurant and then get drunk on cocktails (although, frankly, I’m thinking more and more that the only excuse you should need to […]
Millfield Beefeater, York
I’m always looking for excuses to try out new places to eat/drink/nosey around/generally have a nice time in York, so when the lovely people at Beefeater invited me to come and experience their newly refurbished Millfield restaurant, I was more than happy to pop along. So on Sunday we made our way to Poppleton fully […]
Bill’s, York
When the weather is as incredible as it was this weekend, it just doesn’t feel right not going out and making the most of it. So while we usually reserve our Sundays for some intense chilling, this weekend we found ourselves restless and itching to get out and enjoy the glorious sunshine, and I saw […]
Missoula, York
We discovered Missoula a couple of years ago when we needed a place for a quick meal, and ended up finding a place that was far nicer than we expected and would end up a regular for us! So when we popped in before a quiz night last Tuesday I thought it was about time […]
The Old White Swan, York
A very busy day on Saturday meant we found ourselves at about 6 o’clock needing some fuel for the night ahead, and after much debate the Old White Swan was decided upon. We wanted somewhere casual as not everyone we were with was eating, and we didn’t want to spend a bucket-load, and I knew […]
The Habit York
I love the idea of going out for breakfast/brunch, but it almost never happens because leaving the house before noon on a weekend is a rare occurrence for us. So this bank holiday when some friends came a-visiting it was the perfect opportunity to sample some of York’s daytime culinary delights, which landed us in […]
Judges Lodging York
I’ve been to Judge’s Lodgings for a drink or two plenty of times, but hadn’t ended up going there to eat until this Friday after seeing their new Spring menu, which looked right up my street. We arrived a little early, so got a drink and sat in the sunny outdoor area attached to the […]
Hotel Indigo: No.88 Walmgate York
All pictures courtesy of Jessica Holmes On Sunday I was lucky enough to tag along with my photographer-extraordinaire gal pal Jess for a meal that she was treated to by Hotel Indigo’s No.88 Walmgate restaurant on the edge of the city. All I knew (from a quick Google) was that the restaurant focuses on Yorkshire […]
