One of the best places in Exeter for brunch in my opinion is Harry’s on Longbrook Street. A family run business where you always get a warm welcome and a smile. What’s even better is that it is a stones throw from my house so it feels like home from home. The menu is simpleRead more

I crave more substantial food that has a bit of clout to it. Warming food that nourishes you in these colder and darker months. I always visit my localRead more
I popped up to Taunton on the train with Steve on Sunday to visit the innaugral Brew Food Festival at the Brewhouse Theatre.
