Plates by Purnell’s review, gorgeous dining room, good service and plates that look the part but were pricey, underwhelming and forgettable.

Holy Chipotle 🌽🫘🔥 Golden, bubbling cheese. Smoky Holy Chipotle 🌽🫘🔥 Golden, bubbling cheese. Smoky corn kernels. A chipotle kick that sneaks up on you. These Sweetcorn & Butter Bean Enchiladas are all the comfort of a takeaway, but infinitely better, because you made them. Squeeze some lime, roll up your sleeves, and dig in. Perfection is overrated anyway. Full recipe 👉 Swipe Through! #SweetcornEnchiladas #MessyFood #HeyLolly #ComfortFood #SmokyAndCheesy #FoodBlogUK #VegetarianDinner #EasyRecipes #WeeknightWins
Spice to Meet You 🎃🧁 There’s something quietly tr Spice to Meet You 🎃🧁 There’s something quietly triumphant about a tray of still-warm muffins, their domed tops golden and gently cracked, scenting the kitchen with cinnamon, nutmeg, and the faint toffee-whisper of maple. These are that kind of muffin. The pumpkin (yes, the tinned kind — no shame here) lends softness, the pecans bring their gentle crunch, and the maple syrup tugs everything toward the comforting. But it’s the frosting that tips this into something more decadent than decent — a burnt-butter caramel cream cheese number, whipped into plush submission and spooned generously on top. And just because I can never leave well enough alone, I crown them with a crumble of chopped peanut butter cups and glossy shards of chocolate-covered pretzels. They’re easy, forgiving, and disappear frighteningly fast. Which is exactly as it should be.

There are times when only the crisp puff of butter There are times when only the crisp puff of buttery pastry will do and this is one of them. These sausage rolls are gorgeously simple, rich with mature Cheddar, sweetened with a slick of sun-dried tomato chutney, and padded generously with good-quality sausage meat. The flavours know each other well, smoky, sharp, mellow, savoury all sealed in a golden casing that flakes at the slightest touch. I use @driverspickles chutney here because its tang cuts through beautifully, but you could just as easily swap in caramelised onion, or even a lick of mustard. Serve them warm, when the cheese is still molten and the pastry sighs under the knife. Or cold, the next day, straight from the fridge, standing at the counter with the back door open. They’re snack, sustenance, and secret joy, disguised as party food. Perfect for the upcoming party season. 🖱️ Full recipe here: https://tinyurl.com/4cwdtkst #HeyLolly #SausageRolls #CheddarLove #SunDriedTomatoChutney #PartyFoodIdeas #SnackGoals #FlakyPastryMagic #EasyBakes #FoodBlogUK #WeekendTreats #ComfortFood #FingerFoodFun #EntertainingMadeEasy
Grill Seekers Only 🔥🍋 Salmon, Halloumi & Courgette Grill Seekers Only 🔥🍋 Salmon, Halloumi & Courgette Skewers with Lemon Tahini Drizzle 👉 https://tinyurl.com/37nj6uzb There are times — many, in fact — when I want food that feels like summer, even if the sky says otherwise. These skewers are the answer: tender salmon, golden courgette, and halloumi that squeaks and softens in all the right ways. The magic is in the balance. The grill brings char and warmth, the courgette gives mellow sweetness, and the salmon flakes just as it should. But it’s the lemon-tahini drizzle, glossy and sharp, that ties it all together. You can cook these on a barbecue if the weather permits, but I find an indoor griddle or frying pan does the job just as well — sometimes better. Serve with whatever you fancy: flatbreads, a leafy salad, or just a fork and good appetite. #HeyLolly #SalmonSkewers #HalloumiLove #CourgetteSeason #TahiniDressing #HealthyDinner #EasyMeals #BBQIdeas #SummerRecipes #FoodBlogUK #GrilledGoodness #WeeknightDinner #MediterraneanFlavours #EatTheRainbow #SimpleCooking #FeelGoodFood

When simple ingredients show off. 🍅✨ This Roasted When simple ingredients show off. 🍅✨ This Roasted Shallot & Tomato Upside-Down Tart is proof that elegance doesn’t need effort. Sweet, jammy shallots, glossy cherry tomatoes, and a rich balsamic glaze — all tucked beneath golden, buttery puff pastry and crowned with tangy goat’s cheese and fresh basil. Then comes the best bit — the flip. That moment of drama where you turn it out and reveal caramelised perfection. Rustic, indulgent, and impossible not to admire before slicing (almost).

Crispy, golden potato cakes giving way to somethin Crispy, golden potato cakes giving way to something soft and creamy — that’s part of the magic here. Smoked salmon folds in, avocado cream whispers citrus and dill, and every bite is a balance of warmth, coolness, crisp edges, and silky interiors.

Some restaurants just get it — warmth, rhythm, and Some restaurants just get it — warmth, rhythm, and plates that make you lean in a little closer to share. Pici Nottingham does exactly that. Mini pasta plates that don’t skimp, glossy bowls arriving piping hot, buttery light, a low happy hum in the room, and flavours that land with confidence — from silky negroni-cured trout to wildly good ’nduja rigatoni that means business. 🌶️ And yes, the tiramisu is the big, soft, spoon-duelling kind we all secretly hope for. If you love food that’s generous and quietly confident rather than show-offy, put Pici on your list. Hockley just got even tastier.

There are few things more comforting than the soft There are few things more comforting than the soft hush of soup simmering on the stove as the leaves begin to turn. This golden butternut squash soup is smooth with sweet roasted squash, gently coaxed to life with onion and garlic, then deepened by the golden sage-infused brown butter. It’s not a dish that demands you to know how to cook particularly well. It invites mood, instinct, and the small pleasure of swirling in a drizzle of nutty butter just before serving. And the way to eat it? With thick-cut slices of brown bread, slathered with an unapologetic amount of salty butter, ready to dunk and drip.

🍄🥔 Sometimes what we want... what we need... is a 🍄🥔 Sometimes what we want... what we need... is a bowl of something that doesn’t just fill us, but completely satisfies us. This soup begins with mushrooms, dark and earthy, softened with butter until their aroma clings to the air. A few spoonfuls of cream for silk, garlic and thyme for depth, and gnocchi, those dear, doughy cushions, to carry it all home. It’s the kind of dish I make when the days lean darker and I find myself instinctively lighting candles at 4pm. Not complicated. Not rushed. Just quietly luxurious.

Bean thinking about this all day. 🫘😋 These enchil Bean thinking about this all day. 🫘😋 These enchiladas are gloriously unkempt — all golden, bubbling cheese and chipotle sauce-slicked edges. The sweetcorn brings a gentle pop and smoky sweetness, the butter beans are plush and comforting, and the whole thing emerges from the oven looking less “styled” and more “please just pass me a fork.” It’s not the kind of dish you slice cleanly. It’s the kind you scoop, messily, onto warm plates, letting the edges collapse and the cheese stretch where it wants to. A bit of coriander, maybe a squeeze of lime if you’re feeling it — but honestly, it needs very little. Just appetite. 🤤 #Enchiladas #TexMexRecipes #MexicanRecipes #ButterBeans #Sweetcorn #VegetarianRecipes #QuickMeals #MexicanFood #Vegetarian #VegetarianFood #EasyDinnerIdeas #SharingFood #EasyMeals #WeeknightDinner #HeyLolly

Mist hanging low, dahlias still stubbornly blooming, apples freckled and perfect in their imperfection. There’s a stillness here, the kind that makes you slow down, breathe, and notice the quiet magic between seasons. 🌫️✨ Glasshouses filled with drying chillies, pumpkins stacked like they’ve grown personalities, and that golden light you try to capture but know can’t truly be bottled — it’s all part of the season’s gentle lesson, abundance and calm can exist together. 🧡🤎 Full diary of my autumn wander 👉 https://tinyurl.com/2s4873sp #ClumberPark #WalledKitchenGarden #AutumnVibes #HeyLolly #SeasonOfMists #AutumnMagic #SlowLiving #GardenDiary #NatureMoments #FoodAndSeasons
