Well did you know there was a wonderful Italian restaurant in Hungerford with its own pizza oven? It is at the bottom of Hungerford High Street and is so lovely inside, open fires, lots of little rooms, delightful staff and magnificent food. A picture of the inside, very well set out with open fires, secluded […]

Le Manoir – Family lunch
A huge thank you to my mum, Rachel Littlewood, for taking us to Le Manoir for an amazing lunch. First of all we had a walk round the most beautiful gardens, well my sisters walked and my mother and I stumbled as we are weak and weedy. The gardens are absolutely magnificent, kept by 8 […]
Donnington Valley Wine Press Restaurant
I dont know how many of you have gone to the Winepress Restaurant at the Donnington Valley. I visited it before my surprise trip to Morocco and was amazed at how good the quality of the food was and what amazing value. £22 for two courses or £28 for three courses. Seriously when you see […]
It is here, the new menu from Darren at The White Hart, Hamstead Marshall!!
At last I am allowed to talk about the new menu. It was with great excitement that I went along to the White Hart last week, happy that I was going to be able to input into the tasting (and input into my stomach). I honestly think that the White Hart is extremely lucky to […]
Browns Bar and Brasserie – mmmmm mushroomy
Yesterday we went to Browns Brasserie for the first time. The whole experience was delightful, made even more so by the lovely Danilo who served us. It was a fairly grand setting with a pianist playing downstairs which was interesting and much nicer than tinned music. Chicken Liver and Brandy Parfait with rhubarb and tomato […]
Festival Food Part Two, there was music as well apparently
The Roaming Rotisserie Oh my what a stall, run by a really nice bloke and was just the most tasty food yet so simple. Basically a ton of chickens on a rotisserie with new potatoes cooked underneath in the chicken juice. I could have gone back again and again. You can buy half or whole […]

Vineyard – best thing ever – tomato essence
This was such an amazing dish from the Vineyard. It is pure fresh zingy tomato that wows your taste buds and your brain. When the delightful Saffron, an incredible member of staff, suggested the tomato essence I knew better than to argue. What was produced was a plain white bowl with a tablespoon of tapioca, […]
A quickie on the Halfway Bistro A4
This is a quickie post as I am doing a full interview with the Halfway Bistro in a couple of weeks. You can find this lovely pub on the A4 between Newbury and Hungerford and it is a great place to eat. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a roaring log fire in the winter […]
Vineyard – Stockcross Stay + Food = Amazing
Last night I stayed in one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The Vineyard at Stockcross is, as you know, a particular favourite of mine as it is where I got engaged and married to my current husband (good to keep him on his toes). I gave him an awful time when […]
The Spring Inn Sulhampstead
This was a very good seafood linguine full of salmon, mussels and calamari, served with chilli butter and basil and a mountain of rocket. I chose this because it isn’t something I would normally have so I was really happy that it was so good. I love fat juicy mussels which tasted excellent, the calamari […]
