Pizza is one our favourite foods by far; it’s such a classic takeaway. So when Papa John’s contacted us to review their new Papa’s Deep Crust we couldn’t say no! Upon opening the… Continue reading
When writing up our restaurant reviews, the first thing that I try to do is think of a title. It has to be witty (usually fails), pun-tasticly clever (again hit and miss) and… Continue reading

Today we made a short journey over to Orpington in Kent in search of a tile clearance centre. Definitely not my preferred way to spend a Saturday, and possibly the dullest start to… Continue reading
Maybe it’s us, but the Seven Dials district doesn’t instantly spring to mind when thinking of London food hotspots. New openings mostly seem to be concentrated elsewhere, in less pretty parts of town… Continue reading
Now what do you think makes the perfect pizza? The toppings? Wrong! The tomato sauce? Getting closer… I’ll put you out of your misery. According to Bruno Elias, pizza guru/scientist/mathematician, at Ping – it’s the… Continue reading
