Simply Chinese
Read more: Simply ChineseI haven’t had a take out Chinese meal since the wonderful Hue Wei closed a few years ago. I do like making my ‘fakeaway’ meals like hoisin duck, beef in black bean sauce and special fried rice, but it’s a lot of work. Sometimes you just want a dirty takeaway. I recently found out about…

Mavi Ruya
Read more: Mavi RuyaFor years, there was a little-used supermarket on Abbeydale Road in Nether Edge. Having changed hands at least once, it was eventually closed for good. We were incredibly surprised to hear it was being converted into a Turkish restaurant and couldn’t see at all how it would work. How wrong we were! Mavi Ruya is…

Rafters
Read more: RaftersI’ve been itching to write this review since June (!) when we went to Rafters with some dear friends, and I’ve finally got round to it.

However, this week, a pleasant surprise dropped into my inbox, from Rosie at Magpie’s Secret, asking…
