    I Tried All The Disgusting Pizzas Of The Internet, So You Don’t Have To

    November 15, 2017 /

    Ah, the internet. What wonderful gifts it has given us. Thanks to Google, a wealth of information sits at our fingertips. Social networking sites let us connect with people all over the world, in an instant! We live in a glorious age. But for all its treasures, the world wide web can often expose us to much, much darker things. For example, cybercrime, Donald Trump’s Twitter account and photos of other people’s disgusting food creations. The great pineapple on pizza debate has divided people for centuries (probably), and I suspect is what spurred on this recent trend of doing unholy things to pizza. “If we can’t defend this great evil, we…

    A chat with Simon, the man who helped build Bournemouth’s cat café

    October 4, 2017 /

    “From the start I knew I wanted to make it amazing”  Carpenter Simon Clissold talks about how he helped make Pause Cat Café a perfect kitty sanctuary. When Simon first saw the café it was nothing but a “shell of bricks” and he knew it was going to be a mammoth job. As well as standard renovation, there was a lot of work to be done structurally, in order to meet the health and safety regulations around keeping animals in areas where food is served. A former boat-builder and owner of Scallywags, a local floor restoration company, Simon has a passion for working with reclaimed wood. He got creative with…

    Review: True Tea Club

    June 23, 2017 /

    Are you a tea lover? If so, how does having a selection of delicious loose leaf teas delivered straight to your door every month sound? Yorkshire-based tea subscription service, True Tea Club, offer just that. They specialise in seven different teas – white tea, green tea, black tea, oolong, chai, rooibos and herbal – and have packages starting from £10 per month. Subscribers receive a box containing four different teas each month and the lovely folk at True Tea Club very kindly sent me my own to try. So naturally, this was the perfect excuse to buy lots of cake (not that I need one!) and enjoy a lovely afternoon…

    Review: Sukha Lounge, Bournemouth’s Hidden Vegan Gem

    June 20, 2017 /

    Now I’m going to start this post by saying that I’m not a vegan, so a plant-based raw café wouldn’t be my usual choice. However, I’d heard such good things about Sukha Lounge (in particular, their hot chocolates!) that I had to give it a go. Located next to Yoga Lounge, Boscombe, Sukha Lounge has exactly the relaxing, peaceful vibe you’d expect. The owner, Juliette, is warm and welcoming, and her passion for her food shines through. Naturally we started with her famous hot chocolate and it did not disappoint! Made with cacao nibs, dates and almond butter, it’s hard to believe a hot chocolate so smooth and indulgent is…

    Franco Manca Bournemouth Press Event

    June 19, 2017 /

    The lovely folk at Franco Manca Bournemouth very kindly invited me to attend their press event recently. Being a MASSIVE pizza lover, how could I say no? We were welcomed at the door by lovely staff, who offered us a drink from a selection of wonderful sparkling wines, beer and the most delicious homemade lemonade I’ve ever tasted. We were seated shortly after and from this point we enjoyed what I can only describe as a constant stream of food brought to our table. We sampled amazing meats, focaccia bread with homemade pesto and burrata so good I’ve had dreams about it since. Then we moved onto the main event:…
