The Mercers of Yorkshire is a quality conserves and condiments producer based in Yorkshire. There’s a whopping 43 products being sold by the company, and these products sold nationwide in large supermarkets, but Mercers still retains a small producer’s pride in their products; production is never subcontracted, quality British ingredients are always used (where available) and everything is hand […]
A friend of mine recently got in touch to say that his band was releasing a new album. I’d never heard the Dear Friends’ music before, but I said I’d take a listen. There’s always a bit of pressure to like music when you know the people involved, but luckily for me, it really wasn’t hard to […]
Four years ago, I went to the second ever monthly meeting of the brand new cheese club, Homage2Fromage.

I hesitate to call it a play centre, because it isn’t really that; it’s an interactive adventure.

So, although the language on Red’s website is tongue in cheek, it seems that they may have inadvertently created […]
A couple of months ago now (I have been a little behind on my blogging antics recently!) I received this box in the post: Can you imagine? A surprise box from BETTYS. I tore at the box with a certain amount of excitement, and found within a treasure trove of Fruit and Herbal teas. Now, I’m […]
Launching People is a new television show hoping to nurture food lovers, film makers, musicians and photographers and to launch their talent and ideas. This is a large skill set to cover though, so the show is using experienced pros to guide entrants in each area. The famous four on board are pop-up chef and Sunday Times […]
