It’s been a while since I’ve written anything but I had so much fun the other night that it made me want to write about The Wine Rooms. Located in The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells. The Wine Rooms is a stunning bar & lounge and they have 350 varieties of wine from around the world! Don’t let their name fool you though...it’s not all about wine. They also make delicious cocktails, mocktails and have lots of gin! My favourite cocktail so far is The Danish which is Kongsgaard Raw Gin, Apple Liquer, Butterscotch Syrup, Mint and Apple Wedge. There are many more to work through though 😀 Downstairs you’ll find more seating and 2 private lounge areas. The decor is amazing! Love all their lighting and furnishings. They have lots of small plates and nibbles which changes daily. As well as yummy cheese and meat boards! Not sure what the cheese is called but the one on the far left was so delicious and creamy. Also had Comte which is one of my favourite cheeses. A great place for a catch up and evening drinks 😀 Have you been to The Wine Rooms yet? Any other favourite places for a drink in the area?

Just what Tunbridge Wells needed! Central Market has arrived and situated in Ely Court. I personally think it’s a fabulous idea and I love the concept, it’s a foodies dream. Central Market is full of amazing places to eat. They have burgers, steak, hot dogs, pizza and then desserts like rolling ice cream and waffles. Basically, there’s something for everyone. They also have bars and live music. They’ve designed it and decorated it beautifully. All undercover with heaters. There’s seating in each individual eatery as well as seating outside. A little snippet of the inside of a Wok & Sushi. I’ve tried the pad Thai and gyozas and they are delicious. Here is what a bunch of us shared one evening. All reasonably priced and card payments only. This is food from the Argentinian Grill. Steak and chicken wings with lots of chips. Probably one of my favourites. The steak is so yummy and I love the idea of having lots of sharers with your friends. There’s a great atmosphere. I’ve mainly gone there in the evening and there’s music, a great crowd of people and its just a good evening out. It has proper food market feels. This is the cookie dough from Verve. Unbelievable! Very rich but if that’s your thing then this is a winner. I shared it with a friend which was perfect. Here’s me and Adam (goodfood_tw) having a snap in front of their Instagrammable wall 😀 This is the rolling ice cream from Rolling on Ice. It’s something like £3.75 for this! It’s huge. Definitely recommend! They have a great selection of wines, cocktails and soft drinks at The Wine Cellar (one of the bars). Overall, a big thumbs up from me!
You can stay updated via Central Market's Instagram by clicking here. Have you been yet? What did you think? The lovely Adam (goodfood_tw) organised a fabulous evening for a bunch of us to try out dishes and look around The Shufflehouse. The Shufflehouse is a new restaurant located on St Johns Road owned by the same people behind Saint Johns Yard. I love Saint Johns Yard so I knew The Shufflehouse was going to be amazing. The Shufflehouse serve South American small dishes and pizza. Sorry, not the best photo of the outside. I was conscious of getting run over 🤣🙈 My first thought when I walked in was LOVE the decor. It’s really spacious with cool tables, chairs and lighting. You can see the pizzas being made 😋 Told you the decor was cool! Lots of neon signs dotted around downstairs and upstairs. I imagine they’ll be Instagrammed a lot. Downstairs toilets have super funky wallpaper. Another downstairs toilet with baby changing facilities. Some upstairs seating. Love the open brickwork and quirky artwork everywhere. The coolest sign on the ceiling upstairs. The games room where you can play shuffleboard. I had never played before, it’s actually pretty hard but I’ll keep trying every time I go back which will be often. Again, the coolest wallpaper! I had the Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am cocktail which actually comes with a Wham bar. Absolutely delicious! Their cocktails are £8. We started with these amazing pork belly chicharrones, just stunning! Lamb neck fillet, also so tasty. Spinach and cheese parcels Deep fried manchego cheese 😍 Peruvian chicken skewers. If you like spicy then this is for you. Chorizo with caramelised red onion Four cheese pizza Rucola pizza Buffalo pizza Small dishes menu Pizza menu Upstairs toilets, again beautiful decor. The best dartboard 🤣 This was our table last night. Love the fishtank and the neon signs. I’m already planning my 30th birthday because I think this would be the perfect venue. They have a fantastic outdoor area both upstairs and downstairs. It’s going to be an amazing Summer 🙌 Here we all are. The lucky group who got to try lots of delicious food, drinks and meet one another. Thank you so much to Adam and The Shufflehouse.
I’ve been wanting to go to The Ivy for so long and Sunday morning I finally got to. It was to celebrate Mama Breeze’s birthday. She really enjoyed her pancakes and she is one tough cookie to please 👍 First impressions of The Ivy was the beautiful decor. The bar is just amazing and there are lovely pictures on the wall. I decided to go for the full English breakfast but I swapped beans for the hash brown that came with the vegetarian breakfast. It was delicious! The bacon was nice and crispy. It also came with toast. I also had the elderflower and peach iced tea which was very refreshing. A bit sweet but very tasty. Notice the paper straw 👍👍 The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I had my massive pushchair with me and they happily put it away in the cloakroom when I didn’t need it.
I’ll definitely be going back again to try lunch next time 😀 I’ve recently bought Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients recipe book and I’m loving it. My NCT friend Katy introduced me to it (she’s introduced me to everything). It’s a great cookbook if you’re looking for quick and easy meals. With a 3 month old, my husband and I are definitely looking for quick and easy food preferably not takeaways.
We flicked through the book and picked a bunch of recipes we’d like to start with. One being the Italian Baked Rice and it was divine! We added more parmesan and salami to ours though 😀 We also didn’t have a casserole pan, so Gus removed the plastic handle of our large Tefal frying pan 👍 #workwithwhatyouvegot You can get this book for £11.96 from Amazon.
