I have an incredible restaurant to tell you about!
110% well worth a visit.
Outrageous value with a refined, imaginative and incredible menu.

Brunswick House in Vauxhall, London.

This antique filled Georgian Mansion is a two minute walk away from Vauxhall Tube Station.
Walking up to the restaurant you would never expect the palatial interior and the covered, quaint outdoor seating area.

I had bought my hubby gift vouchers for a Valentine’s Day Pressie & all I can say is
“Music was the Food of Love - Keep playing on Brunswick House!”

We dined from the A La Carte Lunchtime Menu.
Menu breakdown comprised of
Nibbles, Snack Plates, Solo Mains, Sharing Mains & Sides.

Reminiscent of our recent trip to Paris the devilled eggs were a must, alongside the duck parfait and don’t miss out on the grilled potato bread.
Everything just divine! 🤤

Hubby opted for the Trout Crudo as his main whilst I got my chops round the Prawn & Old Spot Burger!
Almost like a Cantonese prawn & pork dumpling but burger form, coated in crunchy panko breadcrumbs, with the sauces making the whole thing deeeelicious!
A green salad, coated in a superb dressing completed my meal.

Of course we washed it down with a couple of glasses of white wine (Wine on tap which was top notch quality) and hubby had craft beer.

We looked at the dessert menu, but as tempting as it was couldn’t fit one in. (Next time, as we will be back)

An afternoon well spent dining on the tastiest food, ambient surroundings with top notch service, sharing quality time together.

Thank you team Brunswick house - you smashed it.

£50.00 per head for our food… I mean come on
Fantastic.

And where you may ask did I find this gem when there are so many incredible places to eat in London?

From Monica Galleti’s recommendation when she was being interviewed by Top Jaw.
Monica advised it was the most outrageous value & Jackson is fxxking fabulous & she wasn’t wrong!

Our first Lunch in Paris on our recent trip was at La Ville de Provins

A Traditional Cafe Bar & Bistro located in the immediate vicinity of the Gare de l’Est.

Brasserie La Ville De Provins welcomes you to taste their good quality traditional brasserie menu or you can just simply have a drink while waiting for your train, watching the Parisienne world go by.

This intimate brassiere dates back to the beginning of the century.
You will be seduced by its typical bistro decoration and it seemed full of locals who were popping in for their tasty lunch and a cheeky glass of vino.

Opting for the traditional dishes I had garlic snails with a generous amount of parsley & freshly baked baguette.
Hubby went straight in for the main of Croque Madame & frites, while I opted for the Beef Tartar & Frites.
The Tartar was divine!..

Generous portions, no frills, well priced and just blooming delish food.

If you want experience a true brassiere and eat like a local well worth checking out.

Canapés, Tapas & Street Food.

Right up your street?

It was for my customer on Wednesday night.

A couple of families getting together to have a pre trial private dine before the Christmas booking.

What a joy.
A customer who gave us pretty much free reign.
Advised of likes (not many dislikes & no dietary requirements).
Tapas & Street Food family style service.
Perfect!

It’s the finer details.
When asked to prepare a funeral buffet celebrating the life of my customers’ Mum Bev told me her Mum loved yellow roses.

We swooped out the usual cake offering with yellow rose cupcakes.

We added little rose decorations & floral flowers plus napkins decorated in roses.

Hand baked savouries as a norm.

It’s a difficult time losing a loved one and laying them to rest, so if Culinary Bites with Sophie can ease the process a little, providing care and attention to a buffet then that’s what we will do.

Well done to all the work placement students who have completed their week.

After Harry joined me for a full day of cookery lessons his parents approached me to ask if I’d have him on a placement.
Happliy.
Harry has been attentive, punctual, hard working and polite.
From buffet and private dine prep, to a hands on coffee shop day and even a corporate day including an Afternoon Tea Harry has shone, having a real look into the varying roles of a Chef.

Well done Harry.
I’m sure you will be an excellent Chef in the future.

After our Secret Food Tour on Saturday I planned to visit Le Grande Epicerie de Paris.

A landmark grocery store with everything from groceries, bakery, fish, meat, condiments, cheese, beverages & several restaurants inside.

When Stephane, our tour guide, said it was a 3 minute walk from our last stop my eyes lit up.

Chefs, food lovers, cooks, eaters, foodies
A store of food heaven which has everything!..
And I mean everything - appreciable, quality products.

I took more videos than pictures but if you love food on any capacity you must visit,
And if you are self catering in Paris…..
Wow - tres jolie!

Day 2
And we did a Secret Foodie Tour in The Saint Germain District of Paris.

Is it worth doing?
Absolutely!
Visiting bakers & fromagerie to collect the best bread & cheese, try sucre de pate, caramels and macaroons.

Sitting down in a small basque restaurant, eating their local charcuterie, traditional slow cooked veal dish & amazing patisserie.

Run in a number of cities across Europe, once again an experience worth booking when visiting Paris.

~. What a meal in Paris last night! ~

A French bistro, set in a snug welcoming space.
Traditional dishes with a modern presentation.

A menu offering tasty dishes combining essential dishes all year round (snails, rabbit, duck, etc.) and fresh seasonal products. Authentic and original flavors to delight your taste buds!

Attentive service feeling very welcome as you walked through the door.

Our food blew us away.
Soooooo delicious accompanied with a Cherry Kir Royale, White Wine & Beer.

We had booked as the bistro was recommended to us.
There was a stream of people coming in and being turned away so if you do visit I would suggest booking first.

Honestly highly recommended for a quality, traditional French dining experience.

Shout out to the talented Amy Finch Rise n Design

We met online through winning Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday group.
Being winners, and part of his exclusive club I saw her reclaimed teak resin boards on winners page.

Beautifully crafted, with the added option of having your logo lasered into the board I knew they would look stunning for my corporate canapé events.

I wasn’t wrong!
Look how beautiful they are. A perfect vehicle to present my companies canapés.

Not only for a catering company like mine she has a full range of products for your home and kitchen.
Also make wonderful gifts.

Worth checking out her page and website.
