Breakfast with Father Christmas at Wyevale Garden Centre
Did you know that Wyevale Garden Centre is currently running Breakfast or Tea with Father Christmas for you and your family until 24th December 2015? The session lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is suitable for children of all ages. We were so excited to meet Father Christmas and sample their lovely breakfast!
When we arrived, we were shown to our table which was beautifully decorated with a Christmas theme. I also noticed that our local garden centre has yet again updated their décor and furniture too. There is even a huge ceiling heater installed to keep us warm and toasty. Now it has a much fresher look with pots of flowers in every corner of the restaurant. Also, a key improvement for me is the Wi-Fi! No need to suffer patchy and intermittent network!
Once we settled on our table, we were served with drinks like tea and coffee for adults and orange or blackcurrant squash for children. There were activity sheets with crayons for children to entertain themselves before they served our yummy looking breakfast!
Jamie’s Italian Kids Menu Review
As most people will know, Jamie Oliver has been endlessly promoting a campaign to shape the health and wellbeing of current and future generations and contribute to a healthier world, by providing better access to food education for everyone. We knew that if you were to visit and check out one of his restaurant’s kids’ menu, you would not be disappointed with the choices at all.

Play at Brewers Fayre
Last week, Dennis The Menace’s fun factory opened its doors to the public at the Redhill Brewers Fayre. This was our first time visiting Dennis The Menace’s fun factory. We were very impressed with all the Dennis The Menace decorations and high standard of soft play facilities. Both our children enjoying sliding down the long curvy slide, climbing over the obstacles and through tunnels.
Frankie & Benny New Kids and Junior Menu
As a regular at Frankie & Benny’s, it is always great to try out a new menu to sample different dishes. Our local F&B is just 5 minutes away and my children always love to eat there. Last week, we were fortunate to get invited to attend Mummy Bloggers Networking lunch hosted at The Fort Shopping Park F&B to review their new Kids and Junior Menu.
Easter Breakfast at Wyevale Garden Centre
Did you know that Wyevale Garden Centre is currently running an Easter event for you and your family to have breakfast with the cute Easter bunny? The session lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is suitable for children between 2–10 years old.
Both children were so excited when I told them that we were going have breakfast with the bunny! They both were looking forward to sharing their meal and of course getting a lot of chocolate too!
Fiesta Del Asado Restaurant Review
Last week, we had a unique and lovely meal at Fiesta Del Asado, Birmingham’s first Argentinian restaurant. The white historic building is located on the busy main road of Edgbaston and they have their own car parking at the front and back. When we arrived inside the restaurant, the place is deceptively large with a nice comfortable atmosphere. It is very well designed high end restaurant with plenty of beautiful ornaments around.
Bhujon Cocktail Bar and Indian Restaurant
My family are a big fan of curry and spices! Last weekend, it happened to be my son’s birthday and we were so lucky to get invited to visit Bhujon Cocktail Bar and Indian Restaurant. I am glad to have discovered a new Indian restaurant as a number of Indian restaurants around Lichfield have either closed down or changed management and no longer any good. We really miss eating good Indian food.
Bhujon are based in Sutton Coldfield Birmingham, on Mere Green. In fact, they are not far from us at all. When we arrived using Google Maps, it took us to the street at the front of the restaurant which only allows parking for one hour. So we decided to drive around the area and found the Sainsbury’s car park (Mere Green road) which is three hours free! It was only a couple minutes of walk to the restaurant.
Frankie & Benny at Birmingham Airport
Today is the start of the half term and the kids have a week of sports club to go to. But thanks to the PR for Birmingham International Airport who kindly invite us to a blogger event at the Frankie & Benny restaurants. So today the kids did have half a day off sports club!
Frankie and Benny’s Breakfast Review
My family and I are regulars at Frankie and Benny’s as both of my children enjoyed their kids’ meals, I love their pizza dishes and Mr C loves their burgers. Occasionally, I will also meet my friends for breakfast as the dishes are only £5. What a bargain for a top breakfast!
So I decided to approach them to sponsor us for our Bloggers’ Night In breakfast as I know my blogger friends would love to try them especially as there are a few who had not tried them before.
Breakfast at Chiquito’s
After having a quick shop around Derby, we popped by Chiquito Derby for breakfast. Chiquito is a Mexican restaurant and bar. Recently, they launched their new breakfast menu. Breakfasts are available at 25 restaurants that opens from 9 am onwards. The other restaurants will open at 11 am for lunch. Please check before you go.
When we reached the desk, we were shown to our table by the lovely waitress. Each child was given a pack of activities to do. Ms C was so eager to get the crayons out to draw while Mr K wanted to play the board game. They also provided a complimentary bowl of salted popcorn. It is quite an unusual starter/snack!
