Eating Out at The Onslow Arms

Eating Out at The Onslow Arms

Is it just me or is there a lack of decent pubs around nowadays? Everywhere is filled with chained restaurants with most just churning out lack lustre food with no heart and soul and charging an arm and a leg for it. We as a family have been on the lookout for a new place to eat and have heard some great things about The Onslow Arms in Clandon and decided on a whim that Friday night was the night to give it a go.  The pub itself has heaps of character with traditional features, exposed beams and a huge fireplace.

Sainsbury’s Salted Caramel Torte

Pudding, who doesn’t love a good pudding. One of the many wonders is that no matter how full you are, if a pudding presents itself you magical find room for a good wedge. The salted caramel trend seems to be phasing out but there are still a few products that slip onto the Supermarket shelves rather unnoticed, and today’s review is Sainsbury’s Salted Caramel Torte.  A sweet chocolate sponge with vanilla flavoured batter and a salted caramel glaze  Not quite what comes to mind when you think of a torte, but it did look ever so inviting. The chocolate cake isn’t…

Ambrosia Frozen Custard – Vanilla

Last Sunday I was flicking through one of my magazines and spotted Ambrosia were releasing Frozen Custard in four varieties – Ambrosia Frozen Custard Vanilla, Vanilla with Strawberry Marble, Vanilla with Chocolate Swirl and Vanilla with Chunky Fudge. My excitement was pretty high, as was my fellow blogger compadres, and with an imminent release date the hunt was on!  Earlier this week Nutty 1T found the Ambrosia Frozen Custard Vanilla with Chunky Fudge at Sainsbury’s (shock horror) and you can read her marvellous review here. Off the back of this tip off I visited a larger Sainsbury’s and right there in the…

Sainsbury’s Gingerbread Ice Cream

Sainsbury’s Gingerbread Ice Cream

Happy Christmas Eve Everyone!! What better way to mark the day before christmas than with Sainsbury’s Gingerbread Ice Cream. I have been like a woman possessed searching for this tub; because frankly Gingerbread Ice Cream is an ice cream I want to get on board with.  I have never really seen Gingerbread as solely a festive foodie flavour and my love for Jamaican Ginger Cake is something I feed throughout the year. Now if Sainsbury’s can morph that into an ice cream, just like Mr Kipling did with their Viennese Whirls, well we will have one happy Nibs ‘n’ Scribs…
