Last weekend I had a pre-birthday meal with one of my loveliest friends at MEATliquor. It’s somewhere I’ve eaten a few times before and never fail to enjoy it, as long as I’ve not eaten much earlier in the day! I love the serving style: everything arrives on a big tray and you shove a… Read More
Last Saturday we spent a lovely morning at the Brighton Open Air Theatre (or BOAT) watching Pitschi which was one of the performances happening throughout the fortnight long Starboard Festival. It was such a great opportunity for the children to experience live theatre in a non stuffy environment, where they weren’t restricted to sitting in… Read More

Last Friday Athena and Arlo had an underwater adventure at Brighton’s Sealife Centre. It’s somewhere that I’d been before but not for a long time, and quite often it was for networking events in my old job (wonderful to walk round with a glass of wine but just as lovely with two small excited children… Read More
After what seems like months since I knew Wahaca was arriving in Brighton I finally got to enjoy a meal there last night and boy was it worth the wait! I’m a huge fan of Mexican food although I don’t like really spicy things I find that most Mexican dishes combine so many different flavours that… Read More

However we both left comfortably full having found loads of different dishes to scoff, way more selection… Read More
On Monday we were invited to have a family meal at the newly refurbished Cafe Rouge in Brighton Marina. I hadn’t dined there for a long time so I was interested to see what the new design looked like and to see how the menu had changed.
The Olive Grove is a newly opened restaurant right in the middle of the iconic Lanes in Brighton, occupying a prime location a few steps away from North Street but because of it’s lovely secluded courtyard it was so peaceful you’d easily forget you were in the middle of a city! we visited for a… Read More
The ‘night before we go away’ rush is a familiar one, but normally we’re scraping together a mish mash meal of whatever is left in the fridge, but not this time! As a reward for finally finishing the packing we headed off to The Sportsman in Brighton for a meal together before an early night… Read More
A couple of weeks ago I was invited down to the opening of the new Brighton Hotter Shoes store on Western Road (only a few shops past Churchill Square) and I had a lovely evening of chatting, snacking and most importantly looking at, stroking and trying on shoes! Yes, I know what you’re thinking ‘isn’t… Read More
