Pizza 500

Pizza 500

After almost 15 months of walking or bussing past it basically every day, I finally popped in to Pizza 500 this week to see what’s good. First Impressions Pizza 500 nestles in amongst the houses on Preston Road and has the proper look of your 

MEATliquor

MEATliquor

MEATliquor: Come hungry, leave wobbly. For anyone new to Brighton, or planning a visit soon, I think I should tell you about MEATliquor. Beginning in London with a burger van, the hype surrounding MEATliquor grew considerably in a short time, and they grew to set 

Black Mocha

Black Mocha

Black Mocha has caught my eye ever since it surfaced in place of Chocaffinitea on Gloucester Road. I’ve since found out that it is in fact the very same establishment having gone through a complete rebrand, and I have to say it 100% looks all 

Nîmes, South of France

Nîmes, South of France

After our recent visit to Turkey, we were lucky enough to travel to Nîmes after a mere two days back in England to join two of our good friends for another break. Nîmes is a city within the South of France that dates back to the Roman Empire, 

Bodrum and Kos

Bodrum and Kos

I must apologise for the recent absence again but I am BACK with a few tales from overseas! On Monday I returned from a relaxing week’s holiday in Bodrum, with a short hop over to the Greek island of Kos. Usually, I’m fairly adventurous on

NEW: Franco Manca Sourdough Pizza

Tonight I had the very exciting privilege of taking three guests for an evening of pizza trialling at the much anticipated Franco Manca, a Neapolitan style pizza restaurant opening on Regent Street in Brighton this Friday! When I heard Franco Manca was the latest Neapolitan style

Brickwood Coffee and Bread

This weekend just gone, I got to explore a little of what Tooting and Clapham have to offer when I went to visit one of my best friends. Before she moved, I did a little research (of course) ahead of our inevitable visits to stay 

Glazed

Glazed

After a short absence due to final year uni assignments, which I’d like to add are DONE FOREVER, I return to you today with a wonderful new find in Brighton – Glazed. Popping up about two weeks ago opposite The Level, Glazed is a coffee 

Stock Burger Co.

Stock Burger Co.

Updated March 2026: Stock Burger Co. is now closed. It has been replaced by sports bar, Bench. Stock Burger Co. is a place I’ve wanted to check out since the weekend it opened back towards the beginning of the year. For a while, I went 

The Flour Pot Bakery, Fiveways

The Flour Pot Bakery, Fiveways

Whilst I’ve got you here, I guess I’d better let you in on a fact about myself: I live for bread. And pastries. And coffee. Slap the word artisan in front of any of these and I’m positively weak. So you can imagine my excitement, and the danger, 

My third place: Pelicano Coffee and Tea House

My third place: Pelicano Coffee and Tea House

I thought today I’d write a post about one of my top third place spots around Brighton: Pelicano Coffee and Tea House (you’ll soon learn that I am way too indecisive to have one third place). Based in Sydney Street at the top of the 

Wahaca opening night

Wahaca opening night

So tonight I visited Wahaca, a brand new Mexican restaurant to Brighton that opened its doors to the public today, and ate all the food. Wahaca is a fairly small Mexican chain, probably best known around London, but also with establishments in Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol and 

Devil’s Dyke and The Ginger Fox

Devil’s Dyke and The Ginger Fox

For the almost year that I have lived in Brighton, I’m a little ashamed to say I’d never visited Devil’s Dyke, a sprawling valley of beauty right on the doorstep of Brighton. So today, my boyfriend and I decided to take a drive up to
