Man oh man - it's 517 days since I last posted a blog on here. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me; in truth, I wasn't sure you hadn't! However, I've been persuaded back onto the laptop and I've got all my fingers crossed that hospitality is back on the up, . …

Steak, Cattle and Roll – Glasgow
I'll be honest - I've never really considered eating in Steak, Cattle and Roll before. I've been aware of the burger restaurants for a while, but never heard much in the way of reviews (good or bad) and so never found myself desperately trying to organise a visit. However, when mum and I found ourselves …
Mezcal – Glasgow
I've been saying for years that the one thing Glasgow's restaurant scene really lacks is a great Mexican. There are Italian restaurants aplenty, burger joints as far as the eye can see, and some of the best pizza places you could ever wish for, but great Mexican food seems to have eluded the city. A …
The Coach House – Bridge of Weir
Like me, you’ll possibly have heard of Scott’s of Troon, and maybe even been vaguely aware that their parent company (Buzzworks Holdings) owns a number of restaurants in Ayrshire. I’ve never visited any of them in the past due to their location - most of them are a solid hour drive from home. However, one …
Meat:Stack at Sweet Recreation (Press Event) – Glasgow
I'd heard of Meat:Stack from their places in Edinburgh and Newcastle, so when I discovered they were going to be popping up in new bar Sweet Recreation I was excited to try them out. I was even more excited, therefore, when they invited me down to a little press launch event last week. So, after …

Buck’s Bar – Glasgow
It seems like I've been saying this a lot recently, but my visit to Buck's Bar has been a long time coming! I love fried chicken - I try not to have it too often as it's not exactly a health food, but I do like to treat myself now and again when I'm out. …
Cubatas – Glasgow
When we saw a deal on 5pm which gave us three tapas and two cocktails each for £20 at Cubatas, this seemed like the perfect place for Ruth, Anna and I to head for a Friday night dinner. So, out we went in the pouring rain to the tapas restaurant that sits, perhaps somewhat awkwardly, …
Six by Nico: Thai Street Food – Glasgow
If my bank account (and my waistline) would allow it, I'd definitely be one of those people who would book a visit to every Six by Nico menu there is. Certainly, there have been a few which I have been absolutely gutted to miss. However, when we realised that mum and dad's anniversary fell at …
Smashburger – Glasgow
I've walked past Smashburger, on Sauchiehall Street, many a time. Usually, it looks pretty empty, and I've found myself wondering how this branch of the burger chain survives. However, faced with a short space of time to have dinner before heading to a film at the nearby GFT, Matt and I decided to head there …
Five March – Glasgow
Five March is another one of those restaurants where my visit felt like a long time coming. I've been eagerly anticipating a visit to the sharing plates restaurant; so much so, that I was actually a little worried that it might not be able to live up to my expectations! At the time of my …
