•Tasmania Edition!• Greetings from down under! I, Florence, am currently exploring the beautiful island of Tasmania. And boy, is the food and drink scene down here exceptional! Here are a few highlights from Hobart.

🦀 Smoked humus, cauliflower soup and potted crab aboard the ferry to the incredible . I upgraded to the 'posh pit' for drinks and nibbles. Worth every penny. Who'd have thought food on a ferry would be THIS good.

🥦 Tempura broccoli at . Delicious and most definitely the least healthy way you could ever consume broccoli.

🐟 Smoked herring, Ayurvedic rice, green lentils, poached egg at . Perfectly spiced rice. Gorgeous cafe. I could have eaten every dish on their menu.

🦪 Oysters and Lebanese wine at the very cool, very buzzy .hobart. These guys are getting their own reel soon 👀 so good!

🐟 Miso glazed salmon, mash, pickles, edamame and the most divine sesame sauce at . The wine was fantastic too. And the waiter absolutely lovely.

🍓 A beautiful smoothie bowl at . The coffee was perfect and they were entirely gluten free 🤩

🐚 Scallop sticks at the . With sweet potato in miso butter. Divine.

There is loads of amazing seafood of course. Safe to say I could very happily exist in this city's foodscape. Have you ever been to Hobart? Where did you eat?

Delicious things as always at enjoying this seasonal special with my dear old friend last weekend ❤️

28/10/2024

We’ve had some absolutely lovely tours lately with some truly wonderful company.

Whilst delicious food and drink is at the forefront of our tours, it’s conversation and connection that makes these afternoons truly special. A group of strangers coming together for a fleeting few hours and having a great time together. Conviviality and laughter around the table is one of life’s greatest treasures.

for the last year and a half, I’ve met some so many warm and interesting people. I feel truly lucky to call us my job.

We have two dates left for our city tour in November and dates for 2025 are now open for booking. And of course our tours make fantastic Christmas gifts! We have gift certificates available on our website!

Wow what a weekend at ! I had such a great time hosting the Cooking Demos & Talks stage today. Exhausted and happy to relax at home with a big plate of beautiful fire cooked greens from . Lots of photos and videos to share over the coming days.

Huge congratulations to the organisers for a superb first event. Onwards and upwards for this festival! I’m looking forward to next year already!

We tried the Sunday roast at the this weekend and I can say with some confidence this is the best roast I have had in Bristol. Utterly delicious, as I expected it would be!

The meat was perfectly cooked which is a rare thing with beef roasts in my experience. As someone who doesn’t eat a great deal of meat for ethical reasons I know I can eat whatever The Loaf is serving up safe in the knowledge that it will be carefully sourced and of the highest quality.

I think the highlight of the meal for me was in fact the vegetables! The trio of cabbages and Swede alongside that beetroot reduction was what lifted the meal to next level deliciousness.

I’m already looking forward to the next one. Get down and try it out ASAP!

Where is your favourite roast in Bristol?
