St Leonards Restaurant Review – Shoreditch, London

I've never really been for food at a restaurant in and around Shoreditch - we usually just grab something out and about in one of the many food markets or street food pop-ups such as Spitalfields or Brick Lane. This time in town, we decided…

If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try ag If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. Missed out on these beauties yesterday as I left it a bit late. Made sure I got to the newly opened @tymelinbakery down by the white water rafting place in Penarth early today though. Just look at these! Today's flavour croissant bombs were chocolate Salted caramel and creme pattiserie. I got a couple of each for the fam, along with a chocolate cookies and a couple of salted caramel and chocolate brownies, with sooo much caramel and goey as hell. Just so you know, the deal is, they get the pastries and bread delivered first thing, because well carbs and breakfast innit. Then the bombs get dropped around lunchtime. I've had a couple of deliveries from @tymelinbakery over lockdown, but you snooze you lose and they sold out within minutes of opening the orders for the week. Nice to have them with a unit in the Diff/Penarth so I don't have to wait until a Friday to pig out. The croissant bomb flavours usually change too, so expect them to mix it up a bit, which means you can go back every week and try something new. I think the bombs are only available on the weekend, but they do loads of other sweet treats too. . . . . #tymelinbakery #croissant #croissantbomb #bakersofinstagram #bakinglove #cardifffoodies #cardiffbloggers #cardiffeats #cardifffood #cardiff #igerscardiff #eatingfortheinsta #eatfamous #satisfeed #foodblogeats #dessertsofinstagram #sweettreats #ukfoodie #bakedgoods #pattiserie #foodswelove #foodshot #foodphotography #lovefood #fuckinglush #dessertporn #desserttable #croissantlover
We had an amazing time in The Forest of Dean recen We had an amazing time in The Forest of Dean recently. We spent a couple of nights at @tudorfarmhousehotel in a suite in the barn. With exposed brick, light and airy with ceiling windows, separate bedroom and living room with an addition TV, roll-top freestanding bath and a decent sized separate shower. The grounds and buildings were just lush. With a main hotel building with the restaurant and concerted outbuildings. There's also some birds including ducks and chickens around the back, that we went to visit too. We tried breakfast both outside in the sun and feasted with room service. With a choice of egg dishes including fried breakfast, eggs benedict / royale, which is a nice change as I struggle with a fry uo several days on the trot. The usual continental options such as toast, fruit, pastries too, for something lighter. We dined in the restaurant the first night. Starting with some bubbles, I went for a sweetcorn and battered fish, then a perfectly pink lamb dish for dessert. A decadent chocolate and crunchy cinder toffee desert and finished off outside on the terrace with some cocktails including a gin Martini. I can imagine they do a mean Sunday roast there too. Whilst we were there, we also attended the foraging course they run frequently from the hotel. We spent a few hours walking nearby and trying some delicacies our guide prepared from locally foraged goods including elderflower champagne, fruit leathers and porcini mushroom soup, all whilst showing us what to look out for on our own adventures into the wild. {AD - press trip} . . . #visitgreatbritain #visitengland #escapetheeveryday #visitforestofdean #presstrip #exploreengland #foraging #hotelinspiration #travelblogger #travelblog #beautifuldestinations #foodphotographer #foodspiration #wanderlusting #travelphotography #traveldiaries #cardifffoodies #cardiffbloggers #uktravelblogger #discoverunder10k #lifestyleblogger #adventuretime #ukfoodie #travelingram #discoverbritain #forestofdean #tudorfarmhouse #exploringuk #samsungs20ultra
Haven't been shopping since we got back from campi Haven't been shopping since we got back from camping and didn't have any meat in the fridge, so decided to knock up something meatless for tea for a change. I made a Korean hummus, never seen one before but chucked the following into a blender and hoped for the best: ☆ chickpeas ☆ lime juice ☆ tahini ☆ gochugarw flakes ☆ gochujang paste ☆ Sesame oil ☆ salt ☆ pepper ☆ dash of chickpea water I slathered a big dollop on some seeded wraps, topped with buttery scrambled eggs, cheese, sesame seeds, crispy garlic and some more gochugarw flakes. Would have been nice with some slithers of spring onion, but I was all out. Be nice with some falafel for lunch tomorrow i'm thinking too . . . . . #hummus #ukfoodie #cardifffoodies #cardiffblogger #meatless #healthyfood #healthyoptions #healthyeating #recipeideas #recipeoftheday #foodforlife #foodforthought #f52grams #eatfamous #eatingfortheinsta #satisfeed #fundining #foodpic #homemade #homecook #healthylifestyle #koreanfood #foodblogeats #foodblogger #instafoodie #instaeats #healthyrecipes #recipeshare #kitchenaid
Well what can I say about the asado course on Mond Well what can I say about the asado course on Monday with @countryfirekitchen a year in the planning, I actually booked it last April for my birthday, but my session got cancelled about 3 days before, because of lockdown last year. It more than lived up to expectation, that's for sure. Cooking whole lamb, mountains of beef with Jacobs ladder and whole rump, chicken in baskets over the flames, loins of pork over cedar wood and basted in cider, salt baked trout. Coal roasted veggies, some banging hot sauce from @hoots_sauce_co that nearly melted my lips and to be honest I lost count of what else we feasted on, but it was all delicious. Best of all, we got to eat nearly on the hour every hour for about 7 hours!! Learned loads and the guys were super friendly and informative. We couldn't have had a better setting that the picturesque @kitchengardenco It was super lush and would make a beautiful wedding setting in the gardens and glamping pods, a stones throw away do you don't have to go far after the event. Seeing as I don't have a garden and live on a 3rd floor apartment, who wants me over to cook a whole lamb out the garden? 😂 . . . . . #asado #bbq #firecooking #cookingwithfire #bbqfood #ukfoodie #countryfirekitchen #pythousekitchengarden #bbqtime #meatporn #meatlover #meatfeast #summer #bbqlove #argentinianfood #foodblogfeed #cardifffoodie #foodhunter #foodjournal #foodyfetish #cavemandiet #roastedmeat #grilledmeat #foodstylist #foodpictures #foodography #foodprep #foodbeast #foodforlife #foodgawker
Can't believe I went double veggie, must be first Can't believe I went double veggie, must be first time ever. Well I did eat a whole lamb and 1/4 of a cow yesterday, so nice to detox. I say that, I did smash half of Llios chicken she left, as if was huge. Stopped in Bradford on Avon, on the way back as we were passing through and wow what a lush little town. We decided to try the food at @timbrellsyard, right next to the river. Lovely spot in the sun, if you haven't spent 5 hours laying in a field. Might need some aftersun on my aneamic neck later. I chose the pecorino and spring Pea arancini, saffron aioli, wild garlic and pickled shallots to start. Three crunchy balls of soft, creamy rice and a lovely swirl of garlicy aioli. I've had more dried out concrete balls of arrancini than I've had good ones, but this was right up there. For mains, I would have gone for the Merguez spiced lamb with smokey aubergine pepperonata, but as previously stated, cooking a whole lamb over an asador and making a big dent in it afterwards, yesterday I needed a bit of a breather. I opted for the wild mozarella gnocchi, baked Westcombe ricotta, heritage tomatoes, romesco and courgette for mains. Lots of flavour, really fresh and loved the romesco. Went really well with the big chunk of the flat iron chicken I kindly offered to help Llio out with. It was a lighter plate to what I'd be used to, so I was glad I had the chicken, but would probably fill a mere mortal. We went up the river for a wander after food, to settle our stomachs for the rest of the trip home, but can definitely see us popping up to Bradford on Avon for an overnight visit the next time. Some lovely looking pubs dotted around and the buildings are proper lush in old brick and sandstone. . . . . . #bradfordonavon #timbrellsyard #somerset #visitengland #visitgreatbritain #visitsomerset #ukfoodie #veggiefood #vegetarianfood #cardiffblog #cardifffoodies #foodtrip #foodontour #summer #riverview #lunchwithaview #somersetfood #somersetlife #somersetbusiness #alfrescodining #arancini #foodsnap #fooddiaries #foodadventures #foodblogeats #wiltshirefood #igerswiltshire #foodstagram #foodgallery #wiltshire

Well we were going to pop our for brunch, but then Well we were going to pop our for brunch, but then decided to knock this beast up. Sausage patty made from sausages I picked up from @thornhillfarmshop yesterday, plastic cheese, @cureandsimple bacon, smashed avocado, Welsh eggs then smothered in a chipotle hollandaise 🌶 absolute banger. Can see me making that one again. To make the chipotle hollandaise (enough for 2) Ingredients ☆ 2 free range egg yolks ☆ 1/4 lime ☆ 125g good quality real butter ☆ 1 teaspoon chipotle paste (I used @sainsburys ) ☆ 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar ☆ salt and pepper to taste Method 1. Start melting the butter in a pan on medium heat. Wait for it to start bubbling slightly and the milk solids start to separate. Skim off the white foam on top and here be your clarified butter. 2. Pour some water in a small pan and put on low 3. Place a bowl over the warm pan, but not touching the water. Place the egg yolks, juice of 1/4 lime and the vinegar the bowl and whisk for a minute. 4. Start adding the clarified butter a bit at a time whilst mixing with a whisk. Make sure the bowl doesn't get too hot as the eggs may start to scramble. 5. When all of the butter is incorporated, keep whisking until thickened and it starts to stick to the whisk. 6. Add some salt and pepper and the chipotle paste and whisk a little more. 7. Add more lime juice or Chipotle to taste if you like it a bit more zingy or a bit spicier. You can add a tiny splash of water if it goes a little too thick. 8. Chuck a dollop on your favourite dish, which could be eggs benedict, fresh asparagus or on this beast of a breakfast bap. . . . . #hollandaise #brunch #eggporn #egglover #cardifffoodies #ukfoodie #brunchclub #breakfast #recipeoftheday #recipeideas #brunchideas #foodies #f52grams #eatfamous #foodporn #foodpornshare #messyfood #foodblogfeed #lovefood #foodbible #bbcfood #foodbloggers #foodie #food #foodietribe #foodieporn #foodinspo #eatingfortheinsta #satisfeed #grubhub

I picked up some veggies from Yeates fruit and veg in @cardiffmarket1891 on Tuesday and found some duck breasts, that were hiding in the freezer since the war. I knocked up this kohlrabi, apple and noodle salad to go with the duck. Julienne your favourite veggies. I used the following: ☆ Carrots ☆ kohlrabi ☆ Granny Smith apple ☆ Cucumber Mix together with cooked and cooled glass or rice noodles, you you could opt for beansprouts if you're cutting carbs. I whipped up a dressing made of the following, although no measurements as I just poured a bit of each: ☆ half a lime ☆ Rice wine vinegar ☆ Sake ☆ Fish sauce ☆ Honey ☆ 1 grated garlic clove ☆ Grated or ground ginger ☆ Sesame oil ☆ Chopped fresh coriander Drizzle over the noddle salad. Cook the duck to your preferred liking, leave to rest then slice and place on top. I then drizzled a bit of @whitemausu Peanut Rayu, a mixture of peanuts, oil, chilli and sesame that I picked up from @kemis_pontcanna recently. Light, fresh, zingy and just what I needed to ward of temptation to order a takeaway. . . . . . #saladdodger #salad #asianfood #asianflavours #noodlesalad #ukfoodie #recipeoftheday #recipeideas #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthyoptions #foodblogfeed #f52grams #tasteintravel #japanesefood #cardifffoodies #welshfoodblogger #cardiffblogger #lifestyleblogger #tastetheworld #foodphotographer #foodspiration #lovefood #lovelyfood #yum #eatfamous #satisfeed #forkyeah #cardiff
Well wasn't this a lovely surprise on our camping Well wasn't this a lovely surprise on our camping trip this weekend in Crickhowell. @thetowpathinn sits right on the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal, with barges gently billowing past, whilst sipping on a pint from Wales oldest brewery or one of their signature cocktails. The bramble with a twist, using Da Mhile seaweed gin a a refreshing take on an Aviation lengthened with violet gin, maraschino, lime and grapefruit juice, mint and cucumber. The food was the star of the show though. Small sharing plates, but no mention of "Tapas" thank god! After about 20 seconds of looking over the menu, I'd decided. One of each it was. My bro @liambatch Would have been happy with the veggie options too. They were all out of the crispy pork skin (might be my excuse to come back) but we had one of everything else, to nibble on. First to the table the pan fried goats cheese, hazelnuts and thyme. Rich goey cheese with a sweet almost candied hazelnuts. This was yum! A mountain of broadbean hummus, caraway and homegrown radishes, with some crispy bread for dunking. The softest and most tender brisket, crunchy potato, Cauli slaw and the richest of meaty gravy. A very healthy plate of chorizo has, with yogurt and some more crispbreads for scooping. I like chorizo, but sometimes it can be a bit too much. But the shredded oily meat, paired really well with thr yogurt, which I've never had before. The veggie dishes were huge fair play, including the grilled Brocoli, walnut, which was a bit like a walnut tahini, preserved lemon and what I thought was puffed rice, which added a nice crunch and texture. I felt like we were eating it for days and still never made a dent in the dish. Loved the Cauliflower cheese too. Strong crispy shards of cheese, garlic pesto pesto and a luscious sauce. Good honest grub at good prices. We were hoping to grab something to eat again last night after our bike trip (more on that later) but I forgot it was a Sunday and kitchen closes a little earlier. The brunch sounded right up my street with the likes of bacon chop and eggs in a bun or the brisket and pork cheek on toast 😍 {AD - press trip} #thetowpathinn #crickhowell #brecon #breconcanal

I'd say @vocostdavidscardiff has to be my fav spot I'd say @vocostdavidscardiff has to be my fav spot in the bay on a sunny day, out on the terrace with the boats sailing past. You could be in the Balaerics sipping on a cocktail. OK so it wasn't quite t-shirt suntan weather today sadly, but it's still a lovely place for drinks and nibbles either way. We popped down this afternoon to sample some of the cocktails and current reduced food menu. Having been away for part of the week and eating out quite a bit, we opted for a couple of lighter options. We tucked into some Asian crackers and olives with our cocktails, mine a class Margarita and @llioangharad a fruity rum number, whilst we waited for our food. I went for the crayfish and gochujang Marie Rose on brioche bun and fries. Llio opted for the slow cooked lamb shawarma and Pomegranate wrap with fries, both on the sandwich options. Generous on the crayfish with oodles of sweet and spicy Korean based sauce, the skin on fries perfectly crisp, as they should be. I did nick a bite of the lamb wrap, which was also really good, with decent shreds of spiced lamb. I did fancy the chicken Kiev on the main menu, if I was feeling a bit more peckish. Bloody love a chicken Kiev, although not sure it comes in a sandwich, which is how it needs to be consumed if you ask me. Also on the menu were steaks, burger with truffle may and a Korean Fried Chicken, along with a veggie curry. We stayed for a couple of vino's to get over the lousy weather. I'll be back when the sun is back (hopefully not too long) and I hope they've got the Laksa fries back on the menu. Absolutely to die for 😍 {AD} . . . . . #voccostdavids #stdavidshotel #cardiff #cardiffeats #cardiffbloggers #cardifffoodies #foodaddict #lifestyleblogger #hotellife #ukfoodie #lunching #cardifffoodguide #cardiffphotographer #foodpic #gochujang #margarita #cocktails #sunday #cardiffbay #igerscardiff #hotelinspiration #travelblogger #travelblog #foodstagram #foodiefeature #hotelfood

My first time staying overnight in Hereford and really impressed by @greendragonhfd Centrally located, designated parking across the road for just £6.80 for 24 hours and the rooms are huge! We stayed in one of the apartment rooms, with massive bed, sofa and some kitchen items including fridge, sink and microwave. Probably one of the biggest floor space rooms I've stayed in. There's usually a choice of 3 restaurants and a cocktail bar, which are all set to open back up in June, but for obvious reasons, things are limited with the constant changing of rules due to covid. We ate in the main restaurant in the evening, with a fair few favourites to choose from. I went for the Hereford asparagus, wild garlic and poached egg. For mains I went for the blade of local beef, salt & pepper chips, roasted carrots and red wine jus. The beef was so soft and tender and the jus rich and glossy. We had a large lunch, so Llio went for the crayfish mac n cheese starter. They did it for starter or large portion for mains but the size was more or less what I'd call a full sized anyway, so could have fed two of us with a full portion. The sticky date pudding and Salted caramel sauce was delish. Llio went oldschool with a Sherry trifle. A good selection for brekkie. I went full English, Llio for the salmon, but they had some avo and eggs, with chilli on toast for a nice change. Cereals, juices and toast help yourself. The hotel was less than 2 mins from the beautiful Hereford Cathedral and surrounded with places to eat and drink, if you want to venture outside of the hotel, including @aruleoftum across the road. {AD} @visit_herefordshire . . . . #visitgreatbritain #visitengland #visitherefordshire #hereford #greendragonhereford #hotel #travelphotography #travelfood #travelblog #travelblogger #ukblogger #discoverunder10k #travelgram #staycation #uktravel #cardifffoodies #herefordshire #herefordbeef #herefordcathedral #cardiffbloggers #foodblogfeed #ukfoodies #foodshot #hotelstyle #hotellife #travelingram
It was nice to spend some time in Hereford today, It was nice to spend some time in Hereford today, which didn't involve wandering around Waitrose. I've only ever stopped around that part of town, including a few visits to some well known burger boys. We headed to The Yard at @aruleoftum which features a couple of food vendors and bar in an outdoor setting and luckily under a tent, as the weather had been a bit iffy all day. There's are 3 vendors including Indian, ramen and burgers from @_burgershop which is what we went for. I went for the kimchi beef burger, with kimchi (obvs), mature cheddar cheese, Smoked mustard mayo, hot sauce and gem lettuce. Llio going for the chicken just to mix it up a bit. Free range Hereford buttermilk fried chicken, apple slaw, roast garlic mayo, pickled chilli's. It was an absolute beast, fair play! Not your standard fries, we went for the hot fries, with buffalo salt, hot sauce, pickled celery, lime and coriander mayo. For the other fries we ordered the sweet variety with garlic and smoked paprika mayo. Oh and some deep fried cheese curds with piccalilli ketchup and some sweet and tangy tonkatsu wings. {AD} . . . . . #hereford #burgergram #burgerlover #herefordbeef #friedchicken #burgershophereford #aruleoftum #lunching #visitherefordshire #visitengland #cardifffoodies #ukfoodie #discoverunder10k #foodbloggers #foodtruck #eatingfortheinsta #eeeeats #eatfamous #foodstagram #foodblogeats #foodtour #foodtourism #foodphotographer #lovefood #foodietribe #foodswelove #foodshare #burgersofinstagram #presstrip
Still don't know what the difference is between sh Still don't know what the difference is between shakshuka and Menemen, neither does google it seems, so I give you tomatoes and eggs with some crispy shit on top. Onions and peppers fried to soften, then added some zataar, extra cumin, urfa bieber, Smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, garlic and a spoonful of acuka. Add tinned tomatoes and a sprinkle of sugar, then simmer for 5-10 minutes. Then for a nice little addition on the side, I fried some sucuk (a slightly spicy Turkish beef and garlic sausage) in a pan, remove when crispy then I fried some nuggets of halloumi in the resting oil and juices till crispy too. Whilst the sucuk and halloumi is crisping up, make 4 wells in the tomato mixture, crack some eggs then poach. Put a lid on so the eggs cook through and aren't raw on top. You want to take them out just before cooked fully as they continue to cook and you want them runny for dipping some chunks of bread in. Add the sucuk back to the pan with halloumi for a minute or two so it's still warm, then squeeze a wedge of lemon and mix. Take the pan to the table, sprinkle with some sumac, fresh parsley, dukkah and Alleppo pepper. Dish out between two plates, top with the crispy sausage and halloumi and some Turkish bread wedges for dipping. . . . . . #shakshuka #menemen #egglover #brunch #brunchclub #cardifffoodies #lifestyleblogger #ukblogger #cooking #chefmode #ukfoodie #discoverunder10k #imadethis #middleeasternfood #sundaybrunch #cardifffoodbloggers #eattheworld #f52grams #tasteintravel #foodblogfeed #foodanddrink #ukfoodie #eeeeats #eatfamous #foodporn #lovefood #foodphotographer #foodspiration #feasting #onthetable #a6400

Been dying for the @milkwoodcdf breakfast but all Been dying for the @milkwoodcdf breakfast but all weekend, but we slept in after dreaming doge would fly to the moon only for it to crash and burn as soon as Elon Musk started talking about it on SNL 😂! Time we got put the house, it was more like a Sunday lunch kind of time, so I opted for a chicken dinner. Not just any chicken dinner... the juiciest, most tender wedge of buttermilk fried chicken, plastic cheese, pickles and sriracha mayo. Simple, but executed perfectly. Some proper crispy skin on fries on the side too. The Pontcanna based @milkwoodcdf restaurant will be no stranger to Cardiff foodies, but they've recently launched Milkwood Cafe offering breakfast and brunch options till around 3pm on the weekend. Llio went for the waffles with maple, with an upgrade to include a whopper of a piece of fried chicken. There's a full (Welsh) Breakfast, laverbread and cockles on toast, the tellegio and leek toasted sandwich sounded right up my street too. Oh and the veggie bhaji breakfast roll 😍 . . . . . . #pontcanna #milkwood #cardiff #friedchicken #brunch #cardifffoodies #sunday #chickendinner #cardiffeats #cardifffood #foodstagram #foodies #ukfoodie #lovefood #foodphotographer #foodshare #feedfeed #friedchickensandwich #foodblogfeed #foodbloggers #igerscardiff #eatingfortheinsta #eeeeats #eatfamous #foodtruck #epiceats #cardifffoodscene #cardifffoodunwrapped #cardifffoodguide
OK, so the weather isn't great this weekend, but i OK, so the weather isn't great this weekend, but it's been a hell of a week and I wasn't going to let a little bit of rain spoil my Saturday plan for a pint at @bubsbarcardiff Bubs are open with some outdoor seating, but the word on the street is the council have been recommending parasols and gazebos are taken down because of the weather warning. There were a couple of people braving the rain with umbrellas, but we opted for some takeaway @verdantbrew 💡 pints to go. I say to go, we found some shelter across the road and popped back for for fresh ones. A good selection of kegs on offer including IPA's, stouts and the tangy passionfruit sour I sampled too. There's some local fermented apples for the cider gliders too. OK it's a miserable day today, but Bubs is one of my favourite stops in town for some cracking beers, that are always on rotation. I don't think I've ever been in and had the same beer twice in a row, which I love. There didn't seem to be any food on offer today, but they do team up with the lovely guys from @keralankaravan quite often, so hopefully see them back when the weather clears up. . . . . . #bubscardiff #cardiff #cardiffblogger #cardiffblog #cardiffbusiness #craftbeercardiff #craftbeer #beerlover #verdant #beer #beerblog #beersofinstagram #cardiffbars #igerscardiff #craftbeercommunity #satisfeed #saturday #lockdown2021 #takeaway #beers #beerstagram #ukbloggers #craftbeerblogger #tastetheworld #tastetest #forcardiff #beernerd #ipa #sourbeer
