Monday was an unexpected treat for several reasons; not only did I have an impromptu day off (HURRAH for self-employment) but my bestie and her man were also mooching around London recovering from Field Day. Taking advantage of this happy, happy coincidence, we decided to have brunch near where they were staying at the Cafe…

Brooklyn Hide, Surry Hills, Sydney
Apparently people move to Australia for the weather however, when we landed in Sydney it was fur-eezing. Cold I can cope with and in fact, I welcomed this with open arms and a massive kiss on the lips. Amongst the many things I miss about home, it being cold enough for coats, scarves and boots…
Mission Burrito, Oxford.
It was half term last week (ahhhh, this blissful life of a music teacher) so I spent a few glorious days basking in the beautiful land of Oxfordshire. It’s nice to get away from L-town every once in a while. Every time I’m in Oxford I insist that we go to Mission Burrito. They are,…
Edensor Tea Cottage
We’ve been back to the Motherland this weekend, Readers, and in the approximately 2 and a half minutes it wasn’t pissing it down with rain (seriously though) we went for a walk around Chatsworth in the Peak District. It was hilly, it was chilly, but it was VERY worth it… ^ look at that stormy…
Pulled.
If you follow us on Twitter (@hungryswans), you’ll know that I had a pretty sexy looking lunch today. I had some time to kill in Ealing and came across a trio of food trucks; turns out every Friday, street food trucks congregate in Ealing Broadway to treat us Ealing-ers to something different at lunchtime. I…
Riding House Cafe, W1
Just north of Oxford Circus, on the corner of Great Titchfield St and Riding House St, is the Riding House Café. This has been on my ‘to try’ list for a little while now, but we’ve really struggled to get a table. I hate it when this happens (yeah, I’m looking at YOU Chiltern Firehouse);…
Smack Lobster Deli
The blog world seems to have exploded with excitement over Smack Deli, a lobster fast-food joint which happens to be Burger & Lobster’s little sister. I’ve read and heard some awesome things about this place so thought we’d better check it out ASAP before it becomes overrun and you end up having to queue out…
The Wykham Arms @ Sibford Gower, Oxfordshire.
I’m spending new year with Chris’ family in Oxfordshire. Since we’ve been together I have completely fallen in love with this part of the country, the county is very rural so it’s just rolling fields, tiny villages and country pubs with roaring fires and real ales & ciders so whenever we’re in this neck of…
Farm W5, Ealing.
On Wednesday, I met Julia for lunch. We have an all time favourite lunch spot in Ealing. The food is delicious and healthy, there’s a great variety and the portions are huge! Farm W5 is an organic food market in Ealing Broadway that do fantastic breakfast and lunch and also sell lots of local, home made…
The Holy Cheesemas @ Byron
Byron has become a bit of a Christmas tradition with me; it’s the only time of year I actually go there. I’ll spend a day Christmas shopping then head into the warm, cosy arms of their Triple Cheesemas burger. Have you had a Triple Cheesemas? Oh my Cheesy Christmassy Jesus they’re fabulous. Never ending layers…
Partridges Market
Sadly, there aren’t a lot of markets in west London. One pops up every other weekend east of the city but us westerners have pretty limited pickings. Portobello is an obvious – and excellent – choice but yesterday me and Susan headed out to Kings Road to Christmas shop, be confused in the Saatchi Gallery…
La Cave à Fromage
Aren’t those four of the most beautiful words you have ever heard? ‘The Cellar of Cheese’. If you’re looking for a lovely lunch spot then this is it. La Cave is literally a 30 second walk from South Kensington underground which is perfect if you’ve had a morning wandering around the museums or trawling through…
