Luxury Hampers from Highland Fayre
We were recently asked if we would be interested in sampling a food hamper from Highland Fayre. You can usually count on us not to turn down any sort of food and also thought this would be an ideal chance to try out a potential Christmas pressie (you can’t go wrong with a good hamper)….
Review: Damm 27, Edinburgh
Snuggled away in the Southside is a stylish new bar Damm 27. Only recently opened in April this year it has undergone an extensive refurbishment. The result is a stylish, contemporary bar and bistrot that offers all-day dining, with a menu inspired by classic European dishes. We visited to try out their Lobster Tuesdays. On…
Are You Game To Try Something New?
We recently received some products to sample from Wild and Game. We hadn’t come across the company before and the products listed on the website sounded delicious so were keen to give the food a try.

Review: Breakfast at Chop House Leith, Edinburgh
A few weeks ago mini burger had an overnight at Grandmas. We thought we’d make the most of the peace and quiet and squeeze in a chilled Sunday morning breakfast at Chop House Leith. We’ve been previously for dinner and the steak was superb so assumed the breakfast was a fairly good bet. The restaurant…
Review: The Printing Press, Edinburgh
Having previously been to the The Printing Press when it first opened we were keen to revisit. So when we had a willing babysitter and an invitation to pop along we couldn’t turn it down. We visited on a Sunday evening a few weeks ago just before the Christmas festivities started in town and restaurants start…

Review: Scottish Cafe and Restaurant, Edinburgh
Tuesday of last week we were invited along to The Scottish Cafe and Restaurant. Jonathan was working that day so my mother in law accompanied Alfie and I on our visit. It was lovely weather so to work up an appetite we wandered around the gardens and then made our way to the cafe for…
