    Cuthbert’s Bakehouse; Review

    It was only the other day I was thinking that there isn’t enough vintage tea shops around, and then I came across a cute little bakery – right in the centre of Mount Pleasant. My friend and I were stunned when we spotted the little bakehouse, expecting a massive colourful sign that shows off and is a bit too much in your face, but instead it was a simple black sign that we almost walked…

    ‘Maray’ The Force Be With You; Maray, Bold Street, Review

    Your nan would be horrified by Maray- unfinished wooden tables, school chairs, bare concrete floor and pictures on the walls that are definitely NOT horses running through the waves on a beach. Everyone else will love it. It’s kind of ace. Achingly hip but friendly and unsnooty. Seating is mainly one long table through the middle, with some smaller tables towards the back and some bench seating round the sides. There’s a short, sharp lunchtime…

    Panna Kitchen & Canteen; Review

    It’s  Friday lunch time, which in my eyes is lunchtime treat day. This week’s treat is Panna Kitchen & Canteen on Tithebarn Street, and part of Silkhouse Court. As I entered I was quickly given a menu by the friendly staff and opted for the Panna Club Sandwich. As I took my seat, the place soon filled up with hungry workers looking for a sophisticated, tasty bite to eat. Panna has a very fresh, clean…
