Everybody in our house loves a Toby Carvery meal, and so when we were contacted about their new Family Platters that they have on offer at a handful of their restaurants around the country we were very happy to go along to the Quinton Toby to try it out.
Last week we spent a day in the city centre, having lunch with a friend, visiting the Think Tank, and doing a spot of shopping. After lunch we headed to pop up shop Lo and Becold in Link Street, Bullring – for some amazing rolled ice cream! I paid £9.00 and ordered a Batoffee Popcorn …
Bluestone is a completely self contained resort and, unless you want to, there is no need to leave the site at all during your stay – we didn’t! With loads to do and see, a village full of eateries and shops to cater to your every need, there is no chance of going hungry on site.

We are already fans of regular popchips, so when we were offered the chance to try their new kettle korn, created in conjunction with katy perry, we jumped at the chance.
I have been feeling in need of a chocolate fix lately and so when I tried Jo’s rocky road at a local NCT sale recently I was dying to whip up a batch to nibble at home. The recipe is based on one of Nigella Lawson’s creations and can be found on Jo’s foodie website. …
