If you’re a Cambridge food lover, you’ll know by now that we are one extremely lucky City, with so much on offer, there’s most certainly something for everyone when it comes to eating out in Cambridge. Gone are the days where our options for dining out are the chains within the leisure park or along Regent Street, (yes they are still an option of course), but the independent options throughout the Cambridge s

It’s National Afternoon Tea Week 2015 and so I’ve decided to celebrate… Every day I will be plotting a mini afternoon tea adventure, so keep an eye on my blog, as well as my social media channels listed below to see a combination of varied adventures across all channels – note, not everything will feature everywhere, all of the time, so it’s a GREAT excuse to have you following “Miss Sue Fla

I’m inspired to blog about my most recent findings when it comes to eating out in Norwich. It’s most certainly no secret that I’m very much enjoying dating again, with my dark haired and stunning bearded man friend, we’ve been enjoying many fun days and nights out in Norwich City. You can even travel to Norwich from Cambridge on the Megabus from just £1 – read this review for more info – I d

I’ve been exploring Norwich for almost a year now and I’ve found some fantastic new haunts, little nooks and fascinating crannies. As well as cakey places, I’ve enjoyed sampling good beer and BBQ, with a visit to the Ten Bells pub on St Benedict’s back in the new year introducing me to an unexpected treat. Whilst tucking into delicious pop-up barbecue food from “Bite The Bullitt” at this ven

I often get the urge to create an afternoon tea party for my friends or family, but time isn’t always on my side. And, if you didn’t realise, afternoon tea baking and creating can take up a lot of your time, although a dainty and ladylike mealtime, it can take hours to bake, make, create, lay the table, clear up and (without a washing up fairy) get those china plates clean again at the very end. So, if you have the urge to hos

As you may know by now, I love to explore a new area for the best places to enjoy a cuppa, afternoon tea, a wedge of cake or simply good food worthy of shouting about. Well, whilst visiting friends in Florida earlier this year, I got chatting to a lovely lady called Jean who told me all about The Hempnall Trust in Norfolk, a charity that she was involved with herself. Jean told me to pop in for lunch some time, where they host

As my alter ego, “Miss Sue Flay”, not only am I by now somewhat of an afternoon tea aficionado (I do love an unusual afternoon tea or a unique sweet treat!), but I also love to learn the history behind our beloved British pastime. When you find yourself enjoying afternoon tea, do you sometimes question where a certain tradition came from or even why we say or do something in a particular manner around the table? Yo

I have good old Facebook to thank for this one, a recipe of which I desired for many weeks before attempting. There was a video doing the rounds, showing you how to make a “bacon sushi” wrap with barbecue sauce and coated in crispy onions for ultimate, erm, pork heaven! A rainy weekend came along, my bearded friend had surprised me with a fridge full of meat to recreate this epic recipe and so, create we did…

I get asked by many people where my favourite afternoon tea venues are and one of my ultimate locations is actually in London. The Halkin is a very elegant hotel, just set back from Belgravia Square and they have always been one of my most favourite locations for a peaceful and classy high tea menu in London. The restaurant here holds one Michelin Star and is home to some talented chefs, including Elena Arzak, voted Veuve Cliq
