Not been to India so I can’t really comment, but I am food lover and I love cooking. Had a curry whilst in Brighton and it was the best ever! So my best ever curry house is a takeaway in Brighton called the Balti Express – check it out it is mint!

Lets hope that the local Tesco on Lake Road does a bit more than ‘its every little helps’ motto suggests and really makes a difference when it comes to stocking more locally sourced produce from the islands suppliers.

Just want to say that I recently stayed at The Bull Pub in Birmingham. Situated in the old gun quarter at 1 Price Street, the Bull is what I would call a proper pub and has a proper landlady. The hospitality from Rose McCann and her staff was second to none and the fresh home [...]
