Oppo Ice Cream – Mint Choc Swirl

We have certainly been experiencing a heatwave this week, so of course ice cream is a necessity. Oppo Ice Cream is new on the frozen block and claims to be guilt free. Can ice cream really be guilt free AND taste delicious? Oppo believe indulgent food doesn’t need to be packed full of sugar or calories to taste good, which I certainly agree with, but whether this can translate into ice cream is another matter.

Waitrose Tanzanian Chocolate Ice Cream with Blood Orange Sorbet

You may have spied that Waitrose have a new range out, Waitrose 1 which symbolises the very best of Waitrose.

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. From…

Byron Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake

I have been to Byron a few times and did a review of their Camberley branch a while back which you can read here. Alongside their standard menu they have one special milkshake and as part of their One Feeds Two Programme, one special burger. 2 weeks ago an email dropped into my inbox with their new upcoming specials. The burger was here nor there for me but then I spied the Milkshake…… Byron Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake!! Actual squeals of excitement did occur! Byron isn’t exactly close to me but in the name of needing to try their Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup…
