Awesome! I definitely need to give their fish and chips a go next time.

They look excellent! Which pub was it?

New on the blog - the brilliant value set lunch at Asiad in #Porthcawl. I've previously reviewed this excellent pan-Asian restaurant but as they've since changed their name, I thought it was a good excuse for a return visit.

Oh yeah, Crown Prince is a lovely one. And kabocha too. Neither make such good nicknames, you're right!

Yes, that's the one! The cheese and egg bread is superb.

It's well worth a visit! The khachapuri, ajapsandali, and wine were definitely our highlights.

New on the blog - The Barbican Kitchen in #Plymouth Gin Distillery. It's one the best meals we've had so far this year, which also happens to have been cooked by a pair of celebrity chefs.

New on the blog - considering RomaEat's pedigree, it’s no surprise how good their Detroit style pizzas are. #Cardiff

New on the blog - located in a tent at the back of a rather chichi looking industrial estate in the #Somerset village of Martock, the Olive Kitchen is no ordinary workers’ caff.

Nicki's recommendations are all great! Would also recommend Sonder, Ember, Pasture, Parallel, Cardiff Market (Ffwrnes, Bearded Taco etc), Matsudai Ramen, Heaneys, Curado Bar, BaseCamp. Enjoy!

The one online isn't up to date unfortunately - they've moved to a much more compact offering. Two of eight whites sold out wasn't ideal. Hope Mme is enjoying the book!
