The Iron Fairies, Hong Kong

-
Have you ever wondered what it's like to drink cocktails in a private cast room with 10,000 butteries above you and magic fairy dust at your fingertips? Well, look no further than The Iron Fairies in Central, Hong Kong.

 
We decided to opt for one of the private casting room's which are located around the edge of the room and offer private seating, table service and a great view over the rest of the venue. The night we went to the Iron Fairies, there was also a live act performing. The atmosphere was out of this world.

Speaking of our of this world, the cocktails!! Not only are they beautiful, they taste delicious A handful of the cocktails are designed by world travelling mixologist, Joseph Boroski or 'Mixsultant' as he likes to call himself. Interestingly, he has his own bar next door, but that's a whole different blog in itself!
 
 
After working our way through the signature cocktails, my personal favourite from the menu is 'Smoke in a Bottle' which is a vodka based cocktail with added smoke! It has a floral flavour due to the blueberry and elderflower with an added smokey twist. The only down side to this drink if you are a none smoker, is that next morning you do feel like you have been smoking. But otherwise, a delight to drink and magical in appearance.

Another perk of the Iron Fairies is that they also do snacks to accompany your cocktails...and who doesn't love a snack when drinking? Their 'conversational' menu has some superb nibbles including their deep dried popcorn chicken (which is to die for) and fries with truffle. I'm actually salivating things about them right now!

I don't think you can really grasp how amazing this place is until you go there. The décor is so over the top, but it works. The drinks are over the top, but they work! It's a place of magic and intrigue and I love that. So if you need me...come find me in the Iron Fairies!!

Dinner, The Goat, Timsbury

When we had friends come to visit mid-September, we knew exactly where we wanted to go for dinner. The Goat in Timsbury (just outside Romsey) has been open since June/July 2019 after a full renovation. The result? A beautiful gourmet pub which offers a lovely garden area to watch the sun go down with a cold drink. Because we decided to take a group a friends to The Goat, I was lucky enough to try a whole host of dishes all in one go! It's just as well my friends love me and have the patience to let me snap photos of their food and have a little taste of their dish. The new decor is country chic which gives a relaxed vibe. There is a lovely fireplace with sofas where you can enjoy a drink in front of the fire with your loved ones. Starters and small bites We had a combination of dishes from the starters and small bites menu to kick off our meal.  Charcoal grilled halloumi with salsa Verdi  Listed as one of the 'small bites' it was a lovely way to st

Overnight stay, The Baraset Barn, Alveston

Mid July we headed ‘up North’ to visit friends and family for the weekend. As we have a 3-month-old baby, we decided to break up the journey by stopping off at The Baraset Barn, Alveston. We picked The Baraset Barn because it was quick and easy to access from the M40 and meant we could be on the M6 nice and early ahead of the morning rush. There are just 16 rooms This was our first hotel stay with a baby so we were feeling a little nervous. From the website, the rooms looked large enough to accommodate a travel cot or a pram. The room did not disappoint, we had ample space for setting up little man.  Sometimes hotels can make rooms look large on their website then you turn up to something tiny; this was not the case. If anything, it was actually the opposite as the room was much larger than I had anticipated. There is a small mini-fridge in the room that had bottled water and fresh milk for the coffee machine. The room also comes with two dressing gowns, an iron and ironing board.  The

Summer Garden Afternoon Tea, The Ivy, Winchester

Last week I headed into Winchester (with my 11-week old baby) to try the Summer Garden Afternoon Tea. It was my mums birthday, so her partner and I arranged to surprise her. My mum is gluten intolerant, so I’ll show you what the ‘normal’ afternoon tea is like vs the gluten-free offering. Afternoon Tea at The Ivy, Winchester is served between 3-5pm. As we had baby G with us, we opted to eat at 3pm to ensure we were home in plenty of time for the bath routine (how things have changed!).  The first course of sandwiches and scones was promptly bought to the table alongside our glass of champagne. Our savoury selection included: Truffled chicken brioche roll  Marinated cucumber and dill finger sandwich on basil bread  Smoked salmon on beetroot bread with cream cheese and chives  I love that the cucumber and salmon sandwiches were served on flavoured bread. This made them seem a bit more special than your average afternoon tea and delivered a deeper complexity of flavour. I didn’t think I wa
