Is brunch still the new breakfast? It certainly remains the most Instagrammable meal of the day. Rise clearly understand this. They also recognise that a palette of pastels and pinks will only get you so far amongst the influencer crowd, if your menu doesn’t cut the mustard. It’s an all-day brunch venue that often hasContinue reading “REVIEW: Rise, York”

REVIEW: Fish and Forest, York
Last Saturday evening, we visited the somewhat similar sounding Fish and Forest restaurant on Micklegate. While the name is similar to Forage, this is where they end. Fish and Forest is a tiny, neighbourhood bistro. The exterior and interior are understated, and it is immediately clear that it is the food that’s going to doContinue reading “REVIEW: Fish and Forest, York”
REVIEW: Forage, York
When you arrive at Forage in York, down one of the many cobbled lanes in the city centre, you’re greeted by a striking floral gateway. From the entrance alone, you can tell it’s a restaurant that has been designed to appeal to a certain crowd. Thankfully for me, the Instagrammable entrance and woodland vibe inContinue reading “REVIEW: Forage, York”
Not so hidden
On the one hand, paying £7.50 for a cardboard carton of soup and a paper bag of bread sounds quite ridiculous.

I’ve followed the Parkers Arms on social media for quite some time. Their witty and honest posts on Twitter coupledContinue reading “Review: The Parkers Arms”
Review: Kysty, Ambleside
I suspect the best compliment you can give a restaurant on opening night is to say that you couldn’t tell it was opening night. If you wanted a one-sentence summary of Kysty, which opened on Valentine’s Day in Ambleside, that would be it. Although strictly speaking, it reopened. As a bistro, following an eighteen monthContinue reading “Review: Kysty, Ambleside”
In praise of comfort food: soup
Earlier today I shared a picture of part of my lunch – a cup-a-soup (leek and potato, for the record). A friend challenged me to write a blog about it. I’m rarely one to turn down a challenge, so here we are. But of course, this blog isn’t really about powdered soups in a mug,Continue reading “In praise of comfort food: soup”
