Gylly Beach Cafe, Falmouth, Cornwall

I went to uni in Falmouth and always loved going to Gylly Beach Cafe. It's right on the sand and serves great fresh food, but is expensive if you're on a student budget. When visitng the other day, I had delicious vegetarian nachos off the main menu and there are also daily specials available. 
The cakes and biscuits baked on the premises are also worth a try!

The Park Mawgan Porth, Cornwall

Great lunch at The Park Mawgan Porth. Very relaxed atmosphere in the cafe with a variety of reasonably priced food on the menu. I had a flavoursome balti chicken pie.

The holiday park is within walking distance to the beach and offers a wide variety of accommodation such as luxury lodges, yurts and glamping old American caravans. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Blackberry Frozen Yogurt

Now I'm living in North Cornwall, there are lots of blackberry bushes along the lanes. They are in season so I went foraging.
I made the frozen yogurt by blitzing the blackberries with a little water. Sieve the juice then combine with natural yogurt and two tablespoons of honey. Then froze!

Pulled Pork @ Poldhu Cove, Cornwall

I had a lovely evening yesterday at Poldhu Beach Cafe. For the feast night, they served delicious pulled pork in a soft brioche bun with chips and coleslaw for £10. I think you partly pay for the beautiful view from the cafe over the cove. Great atmosphere with a chilled guitar duo playing too. Looking forward to the next feast night!

Chocolate Biscuit Cake

125g dark chocolate
3 tbsp milk
150g butter
150g caster sugar
3 eggs
200g plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarb
 
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Cream the butter and sugar together until really light and fluffy.
Whisk in the eggs. Melt the chocolate together with the milk until smooth, then combine into the butter mixture. Sieve in the remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased tin.
 
I used to different sized tins to create a tier effect.
 
Leave to cool. I cheated and used Betty Crocker's chocolate fudge icing to decorate, and added chocolate buttons, bourbons and custard creams.

The Hole in the Wall Bar, Dubrovnik Old Town, Croatia

Amazing bar. You walk through a small hole in the old city wall to get out onto the cliff with this amazing view. The bar is simple, with places to swim of the cliff. Drinking a cold cider here was defiantly the most relaxing time of the holiday. 

Cave Bar More, Lemar, Croatia


Just had a lovely week in Croatia, in the Duprovnik area. This bar is built into the cliff. Great cocktails but a bit pricey. Defiantly worth a visit though, even just for the fact that it's a bar in a cave!
