Eating Out at Piccolino Virginia Water

Located on London Road, Virginia Water, behind the walls of the very plain white looking Piccolino building is a restaurant that boasts an open kitchen, wine and cocktail bar and a substantial alfresco terrace.

We sat in the alfresco terrance which features a fully retractable roof and heaters to ensure the ultimate alfresco experience rain or shine. The shade of Liz Earle blue the chairs were more like a comfortable sofa, there’s no surprise you could spend hours there. Menus galore there…

Salted Caramel Fudge Munchies

Salted Caramel Fudge Munchies

It may be a flavour we have seen already flood the market and sail on through, but it is nice to see they haven’t gone for chocolate orange. Incase you aren’t au fait with the original Munchies they are square, filled with soft caramel and a small round biscuit in the middle, all of which is encased in a thick chocolate coating. These were originally in Morrisons but are now in…
