Sunday Roast at The Olive Tree Pub

Sunday Roast at The Olive Tree Pub

Is there anything that hits the spot better than a Sunday Roast? Every now and again it is nice to not have to cook a roastie and enjoy someone else doing it (and the washing up) for a change. For the first time in forever we decided to do just that and chose to eat out at The Olive Tree Pub. This country-esque pub is nestled in Sutton Green, Woking. It is a relatively small pub with quite a limited car-park, so be prepared for a challenging parking situation when busy. Welcomed with a friendly greeting and shown to our…

Surrey Food Festival 2017

Surrey Food Festival 2017

The sunny weather is coming which means food festival season is beginning. Huzzah! Food festivals are a glorious thing, namely because of all the food and drink on offer, but also because you get to find brands and meet new people that you wouldn’t normally discover and I highly recommend all you foodie lovers go to one.  Kicking off the food festival season for me was Surrey Food Festival which was situated in Old Deer Park in Richmond. If you are following on Instagram you will have seen many delectable delights at the weekend and got the inside scoop on Instastories. Despite…

Woking Food & Drink Festival 2016

Last year’s Woking Food & Drink Festival was a triumph, and no I am not just saying that because I met John Whaite!!

On the chopping block we had The Baker Brothers, Antonio Carluccio OBE, Fernando Stovell, Masterchef Champion Jane Devonshire and Steven Drake to name a few. Sadly GBBO winner Nadia Hussain had to drop out at…

Graduation: Reflecting 4 Years On

This week marked 4 years since Graduation. 4 YEARS! Half of me thinks how the heck has it gone so fast but the other half feels it was a lifetime ago. A lot has changed since my uni days, not that I was a party animal uni student or anything but it seems like a different world to where I am now. Question. What did you say when you were asked the obligatory question – What do you want to do with your life? As if your answer is something set in stone… My answer – *eye roll* lady of leisure! Haha only joking,…

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. From…
