Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or a large piece of cake) for the last 10 weeks, you will know the Great British Bake Off 2018 final was on last night (30 October 2018). Foodie Friends have been hooked on this year’s series, but basically it has resulted in us becoming slightly obsessed with…

Trying Thai at Sangthai in Escrick, York
Last month we decided to venture outside of the city walls of York, but not too far… just down the road to Thailand – well Escrick’s version of Thailand at the Sangthai Restaurant. Eagle eyed Cand had spotted an amazing deal, where every Wednesday and Sunday evening you can ‘Try Thai’ for £20 for two…
A Review of Tapas for Tea in Sotano, York
We are doing pretty well so far, half way into 2018 and working our way through our ‘to eat‘ list, so when it came to our meal out in July we found ourselves reviewing our list and pondering where to eat next. As we both fancied tapas, the decision of Sotano seemed a good one!…
A Review of The Ivy, St Helen’s Square, York
Well, I have been keen to visit The Ivy, York for quite some time. Yes, I appreciate it is a chain and there are plenty of them scattered around the country, but I am a basically drawn to beautiful interiors like a moth to a light. Having walked past many times and peered through the…
A review of Spark:York, where York is the new York
I’m not going to start this post by lying. 23 shipping containers, in York? Huh? I wasn’t too sure I liked the sound of it when it was first announced, but it certainly sounded intriguing and something different for York. Then I found out where it would be – well come on Piccadilly needed something…

Amazing value lunch in The Hop, York
Well lunch at The Hop must be one of York’s best kept secrets that I am about to let out of the bag! Over at Foodie Friends on Instagram where we stay in touch with all the foodie happenings around York, we spotted that The Hop on Fossgate offers a pint and a 6 inch…
Dinner in Oscars Wine Bar & Bistro, York
In all honesty it’s been a long time since we’ve been to Oscars together. In fact probably not since our university days (yep the mid-late 1990s for us 😱). We remember Oscars when it was in its original home around the corner, where Stonegate Yard now resides. I do have very vague memories of jugs…
Lunch in Partisan, York
If you’ve never been Partisan is a lovely independent cafe where most of the furniture and objects are also for sale! I only bought my lunch however, so I can’t comment on anything other than the amazing food. It’s open 7 days a week 9-5 but also for casual dining on Thursday, Friday & Saturday…
