TTN Visits: 'Pret-a-Portea' at The Berkeley

As this Post has been made possible due to it being a present given to The Boy for his birthday, I let him choose a song for the title and I am pleased to see he chose a Rolling Stones tune (5 years and I have trained him well)...

I feel this post needs little writing as I am hoping my photos will attempt to show off how fabulous the experience really was. This afternoon tea has a wonderful twist to its menu by encorporating the current fashions into its food- Food AND Fashion? Totally up my street! I'm not going to go into too much menu detail as I wouldnt want to totally ruin the surprise for anyone thinking of booking this but I do feel you need to know:

1. One of the Sandwiches is Crab and Olive - it took me a number of plate refills (3) to work this out and i left feeling considerably heavier than when I arrived
2. This was a gift bought for The Boy- and he loved it. Admittedly he didnt really give a hoot about the fashion presentation but he did love the funky atomosphere and delicious cakes
3. You can have refills- so don't feel disheartened when you see the small-ish stack presented to you- I was so happy when they told me that yes, I could have another round and more tea
4. The china is designed by Paul Smith- I loved it and was very very tempted to try sneak a tea cup in my handbag but decided against it (FYI I do not make a habit of stealing)

It's a new dawn, Its a new day, It's a new life for me.....

Who are you? I imagine you mutter. What time do you call this? I hear you think. Where on earth have you been?? Well I am thinking this to myself....

So- according to Blogger my last post was in April... and since then I have been in a some-what sticky situation. One that has taken me until now to be able to blog about. So why am I choosing to blog now? Well it's nearly Christmas and I have a LOT to say and share about presents, food tips and fun things.. but first I really must get this out the way so that I can move on..... (also just an excuse for me to use an obscene amount of full stops in one post)...

TTN Visits: MEATLiquor, London

Why hello there!! So, its been a busy busy few weeks but i did manage to visit a restaurant that i had to tell you all about. Just behind Oxford street- near to 'Forever21' is a restaurant that goes by the name 'MeatLiquor'. In fact, i feel the word 'resturant' is slightly inappropriate as its more like some deep south dark drinking hole that you can imagine having a appearance in a film like the 'Hangover' (or something along those lines).... basically its amazing and definitely one for the man in your life- although its not exactly 'romantic date night' venue...

So, what do you need to know?
1. You cant book. so get there early (about 5ish) to avoid a massive wait.
2. Drinks are served in jam jars - even wine.
3. Its dark. Very dark in side- which totally adds to the vibe.
4. There aren't any plates. Yes- no plates. So don't wear anything white!!
5. Its bloody cool.

The food was everything you would expect from a eatery with the name 'MeatLiquor'... although not as greasy as i expected. I ordered the 'Dead hippy' burger....

What I bought March 2012...

I am so so so excited about my very recent purchases made in Topshop today- so i thought i would jump on the old blogger to tell you ALL about them.....
