That’s a big variety, which is the best thing about these packs – there is always something for everyone within each bag.

28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen Fondue Festival | Review

28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen Fondue Festival | Review

Posted on by Jupiter and Dann

Both Dann and Jupiter went to a Fondue Festival at the 28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen, who do yearly Fondue Festivals in London. These take place each Tuesday through February, March and April. We’re not sure if Festival makes a lot of sense in this use, as it’s not really a Festival and more of a sit down dinner but only there for a limited amount of time. Dann really wanted to go, so we both grabbed up some tickets and figured we’d see what happens. Neither of us had been to 28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen, nor had we had Fondue before, so it was an interesting time.

The first thing worth noting is that you are going to need to go to the Fondue Festival with a friend, as it’s a minimum of two people per fondue. The price is set at £34.95 per person, stacking as you add more people to it. The festival tickets include a set menu – we weren’t even shown a normal menu – which you get to eat from. The venue itself is very upscale, we were quite under dressed, and is a dark and moody place.

Beer52 - Mixed Beers Subscription | Review

Beer52 – Mixed Beers Subscription | Review

Posted on by Dann Sullivan

As you are probably aware, there are lots and lots of monthly subscription boxes out there – from monthly cat gift boxes through to make-up and bath-bomb boxes. So, it makes sense that there’s a monthly beer box. Beer52 is my first experience of a beer box like this, and it’s quite an interesting offering; Certainly more than just a crate of random beers.

For a start, the whole thing is designed as a ‘discovery club’ more than a crate ‘o beer, and that’s fair, it feels themed and deliberate, specifically featuring a wider variety of beers than you’d normally find in your local supermarket. It’s also complete with a couple of bar snacks, and there’s also a brilliant magazine all about craft beers, and brewing on the whole. Much like a Nat Geo, New Scientist, or any of the other specialist, serial magazines it’s a perfect little casual read if you want to learn more about the specialist subject that it is built around. It’s also good coffee table decor.

Mud & Bloom Subscription Box - Four Months On | Review

Mud & Bloom Subscription Box – Four Months On | Review

Posted on by Dann Sullivan

Back at the start of the year, I made a decision that the house would try and do more activities away from screens. There were a lot of reasons why we decided to make a move – the adults of the house both work in games, and work from home, so a lot of our time is spent working in front of monitors, but that is very much a situation we have chosen ourselves. As we work in games we always have something new for the kids to watch or play with, and it’s certainly nice (for me) to have them share a hobby with me. However, they came to expect it, and they came to be very reluctant to move away from the screen. I would suggest we go to play in the garden and be met with grumbles!

So, we took to the road more often, saw more sights. We got a new printer so we could print more stuff off and then… well, Covid-19 happened and all of a sudden there was more time (and we needed the printer) and the way that the day worked changed. We also couldn’t get out to the same places in the same way, uh oh!

Bone Daddies - Japanese Soul Food | Restaurant Review

Bone Daddies – Japanese Soul Food | Restaurant Review

Posted on by Jupiter and Dann

It’s no secret that I love Japanese food, I adore a good ramen, a well made broth, a bunch of different toppings. I like eating a variety of food, but after months of lockdown, I just wanted a bowl of ramen. I was absolutely delighted that Bone Daddies in London opened back up (with social distancing measures) to serve some food I hadn’t had in far too long. Dann and I went along to the first weekend they opened back up, hoping to be warmed on a rainy day by a nice bowl of soup.
