Taste of a place - Marseille

We read somewhere that Marseille is “not just soup* and soap!” and we're here to heartily concur with that statement (i would also add that Marseille is not just pastis and petanque either, but am happy to report that all of these local pastimes/obsessions are alive and well).... This long, longed for trip (the first attempt thwarted by a global pandemic) was hastily arranged to fit in with work commitments.

Guest Blog - A meander around Chania old town

Previously we owned our own little corner of Andalusia here in Bedford; a cute little neighbourhood tapas bar/deli, Andaluz which we ran successfully for a few years. Here, we shared our love of the authentic food and wines of the region and were fortunate to meet so many like minded people who shared our love for Spain and all things Spanish.

CELEBRATING LOCAL INDIES

Brew Point

Cut Throat Lane, Bedford MK41 7FY

Not really sure if this fits (my own) brief, but I feel its well worth inclusion. A landmark Wells & Co development on the outskirts of town (in the charmingly named Cut throat Lane), offering the freshest of beers, ales and lagers (brewed on the premises), brewery tours, beer garden. Watch out for live music and special events such as movie nights, Oktoberfest and the legendary “Barrioke”.
