The Brighton Coalition
Seaside Surprise
I finally got sunburnt in England!
After many winter months longing for some warmth and a golden glow, I headed to the coast of Brighton and found more than I had bargained for. Yes, the crystal blue water sparkled under the glory of the sun, and yes tanned gorgeous bodies were out […]

The Knaypa - The Polish Restaurant, Hammersmith, London
Jacklyn Swiecicki Reviews….
The Knaypa, translated simply means, The Restaurant. However, this contemporary eatery offers less than simple Polish cuisine.
Since its opening in December 2007, The Knaypa located in the largely Polish-populated district of Hammersmith, still feeds a largely Eastern European clientele. This is a good sign.
While perusing the […]

Iceland, A Foodie Paradise?
A long way to travel…
Jacklyn Swiecicki reports…..
I recently returned from a holiday in Iceland. And, aside from its breathtaking Icelandic terrain and crisp fresh air; the food was amazing! Contrary to popular belief that Iceland imports all of its produce, some vegetables do actually grow within Iceland’s volcanic soil. The vegetables that […]

SUSAN ROGERS VISITED THE BLACK SWAN, OCKHAM, SURREY AND IS DISAPPOINTED
Date of Visit 25/04/08
What a disappointment! Bearing in mind the menu prices were on average £8
for a starter and £15 for a main, we had great hopes for the newly
refurbished so-called gastro pub.
We were served with a not very chilled glass of Chablis […]

Nobles Restaurant - reviewed by Gemma Skillett
Nobles Restaurant
17 High Street,
Battle,
East Sussex.
TN33 0AE
I have visited Nobles on a number of occasions - most recently last
weekend.
The welcome is always friendly and professional, and the
restaurant is well laid out and spotlessly clean. The menu incorporates a

beautifully […]

Age Old Quality
Hotel 53, as the name suggests is a middle to higher priced hotel establishment set in the hauntingly historic township of York. However, despite being a cosy modern hotel, it also shares its Hotel 53 restaurant with the lucky public.
Situated just right of the hotel […]

Wokon and Refuel
I spent a recent Saturday afternoon spending up a storm buying fabulous summer dresses (I live in hope) while the snow poured down outside. What could have been described as a females perfect Saturday, it soon turned miserable as the chilly weather had […]

Not My Idea of Gourmet…
Situated on Leeds’ booming waterfront, Oracle identifies itself as a gourmet burger establishment. Without yet glancing at the extensive menu, I run through the doors; busting after a few too many Friday night gin and tonics; and push through the staff and head for the toilets. At first glance they seem […]
