My favourite eatery is Deserts Rose. A beautiful Jordanian restaurant in Bedfordshire. The restaurant has been created with such beautiful , thoughtful design. It feels so luxurious. I live to order their selection of sandwiches (such as chicken shawarma and falafel). They also do a fabulous drink called the Havana which is just pure heaven itself. Full of 5 fruits and topped of with cream, strawberries and pistachios. That’s why it’s my favourite eatery!
My local garden centre has a lovely cafe that is always very welcoming and has lots of delicious treats.
Coffee Architects in Leamington Spa. Delicious food (breakfasts, cakes, salads) and very generous portions.
One of my favorite places to eat at here in Wichita is a place called hog wild. It has the best barbeque. The meat is so tender and juice and their sauce is so delicious you could put it on everything. Personally I enjoy the pulled pork, they have other enjoyable selections with sides to match. I love their potato salad it has the right amount of ingredients. Everything is homemade and the meat is cooked low and slow so it just falls away from the bone. Its perfect for any occasion. I recommend everyone trying it.
My favourite place to eat in my home town of Lincoln is Zoot – it is an independent little eatery that serves a multicultural menu – my favourite is the Arancini dish, delicious! There is something for every food mood!

The ‘Cottage’ in Pontardawe …. always great food!
In Pittsburgh, PA we are currently experiencing an awesome rise in food culture and opportunities. There is a fantastic group of French patisseries called La Gourmandine. The one in our Lawrenceville neighborhood is my favorite place to grab a Parisien sandwich on the weekend.

I live in Thailand so the number of eateries to choose from is enormous. I have many favourites in my hometown of Naklua Pattaya but if I had to pick one it would be Surf and Turf.

Accompanied with fried pork and tofu on the side. Augh! you are in heaven!
Positano restaurant in Guildford. They do the best lasagna outside of Italy as well as more beautiful southern Italian food.
My favourite eatery is this local place called Slatterys in Whitefield, Manchester! It’s a local gem and everyone’s place to go because they have a lot of local history and are famous for making chocolate! Delicious and decadent hot chocolate or milkshake, countless chocolate dessert options and they even a chocolate school on the top floor! They have a shop on the ground floor too where you can watch the chocolate being made and it’s so interesting to watch. Definitely our favourite place to go, always a lovely atmosphere and delicious food!
Here in Vaison la Romaine/Provence my favourite is “Le Bonheur poursuit son cours” not only because of it’s poetic name “Happiness follows it’s destiny” but because they do the very best Steak Taste, you get wonderful wines by the glass and if you don’t feel like eating much you can pick at charcuterie or cheese platters. Not often to be found in France where you usually need to order a menu.
A favourite eatery is William’s Sandwich Bar which is very near us in Manchester. It’s cosy, makes fresh, good quality food and is very welcoming.
