For weeks and months that mysterious social media account kept taunting me. “That Beer Place”. What place?!? Where?!? What beers will they have?!? It was driving me nuts. But then finally it transpired that it was my beer loving friends Lisa and Dale who had decided to bring something new to the revitalised Chester Market – and I…

Have you been missing the Deva kitchen? Yeah, me too. I was gutted when it temporarily closed but when I heard that the Punky Pig boys were going to take it over I kinda immediately forgave everyone for the days without a Deva pizza. You heard that right folks. The graduates from the Chester uni who launched their…

You heard it here first folks – small plates is where it’s at. Okay, you probably have heard that a good few times from a good few people before, but let me reaffirm this to you by way of a little show and tell. Over the weekend hubby and I were over at Liverpool with our aim firmly…

Sunday is the day of the week when you don’t need to feel guilty about not bothering to cook. And boy, are those in Hoole in luck! Being a Hoolite (or a Hooligan, whichever) means you have the pick of the bunch come Sunday: this little neck of the woods has some pretty dapper deals for dinner. Not only…

You know what I love the most about Autumn? Apart from the pleasant chill in the air, the longer nights, the gold and red colours in nature? Yup, you got it in one: oversized jumpers. I mean, they hide a multitude of sins, they’re snuggly and warm and… they’re bang on trend at the moment. You do not…

I love me some beauty hacks that not only save time but make my life easier. I’ll be honest, I haven’t got a lot of patience for time consuming beauty regimes and I am tight when it comes to spending money on anything I can’t eat or drink. So if a thing a) takes less time but gives great results,…

Have I ever told you brunch is my favourite meal of the day? That’s because it’s nestled neatly between breakfast (which always seems too early) and lunch (which is too late to start the day with) and because it’s perfectly acceptable, if not even encouraged to have some booze with your grub. So it’s probably not at all…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve more than likely heard this ominous phase mentioned somewhere. Most likely on the FB or twitter profile of a mate who you know for a fact was drinking doubles on the back end of the bank holiday Sunday and spent the next day sleeping off the effects or nursing them with…

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ‘What about lunch?’” — Winnie the Pooh I don’t know about you but when I have an hour for lunch I don’t particularly want to waste it trying to figure out where is good. And I definitely don’t want to…
