Paperback writer

Apologies for the most obvious post heading but it had to be done.

As it's Sunday morning, you're all probably thinking about coffee so have I got a treat for you!

Now for those of you Ealingers who have been living under a rock (or who aren't on twitter / don't like coffee / don't frequent South Ealing), we have a new coffee shop and it is gooooooooooooood!

In Ealing, we are pretty spoilt for amazing (non-chain) coffee shops* but there's always room for more and PaperBack Coffee are more than welcome.

I made a specific journey to check out their coffee and see what the hype was all about and wasn't disappointed.


Potentially controversial but a winner for those longing for quiet!


Normally I only semi believe the hype (I'm pretty gullible), but let me tell you I fell for the hype hook, line and sinker and they more than lived up to it.

I have a standard order in a new coffee shop of an Americano, but thought it would be rude not to have a pastry to go with it. My politeness was rewarded with cinnamon loveliness and the combo of this sugar induced nirvana, a bloody good coffee, the paper and some seriously chilled tunes meant I was transported to a happy place.
 








PaperBack has a very good vibe (did I mention they do amazing coffee?) and you can follow them on Twitter HERE 

BUT I think you really owe it to yourselves to go and see them - even if it's just to have a giggle in the loo!



PS the do tea as well but I know where my money would go

*FYI I hate chain coffee shops, so you will never see me talk about them on here!

ABBOTSHILL - Ealing's newest wine bar

Image
Last night I had the pleasure of being one of the first people to enjoy the newest drinking (and nibbling) establishment in Ealing, Abbotshill Wine Bar & Deli. The bar (which is opening today!!) is a gorgeously friendly and stylish bar / deli at 20 St Mary's Rd run by Suzy & Tom.  This lovely couple have quite different backgrounds (being a food photographer & plumber respectively), but are obviously united in their passion for exclusive, but familiar, wines; cheese that is to die for, exceptional deli meats and handmade truffles. So, we're pretty lucky that they met and decided to open up this new spot for us all to enjoy. Even though today is their first, I believe they already have bookings (you can make reservations by contacting Suzy - here is  THEIR WEBSITE  & here is  THEIR TWITTER ) and I really hope that as a community we get behind them. I know that Mr Rev and I will be paying them a visit over the weekend & I hope you all do the same.

Limeyard Ealing, new menu & competition!

Image
Today you're in for a treat, Limeyard Ealing have a new menu - launching today - for me to tell you about AND I have my first ever blog competition for you to go and try it for yourself! First and foremost though, I must tell you about the night I had at Limeyard last week. Along with some of the great and good of Ealing (note to reader - I do not consider myself to be either of those things!) I was invited along to try the new menu that Limeyard are launching today. Having been to Limeyard a few times ( more about that here ) I was pretty excited as I love the people there (special shout out to geordie waitress Sam who is pretty awesome!) and the food is always good, plus I was told we'd be trying the majority of the new menu...........including new cocktails. Unsurprisingly this sealed the deal and it was a date. We turned up to be greeted by a lot of cocktails to taste including the Smokey Joe (mezcal, triple sec, lime, grapefruit bitters & ginger beer served

SOANE'S KITCHEN BRUNCH O'CLOCK

Image
This morning I had the pleasure of experiencing brunch at  Soane's Kitchen , the new-ish restaurant, cafe, cocktail spot located in our beloved Walpole Park. Despite quite a few dinners there, this was my first brunch and it was rather excellent! As someone in their 8th month of pregnancy, I naturally avoided the bottomless Prosecco option (additional £20 for 2 hours) but compensated by having extra bacon (it's allowed!).  The shakshuka was really good, very fresh with lots of seasoning and perfect poached eggs - I also had a flat white, pineapple juice (much to the terror of my companion who was convinced I'd go into labour immediately) and sourdough toast. Additionally, we picked up a few cakes - initially intended for later on this afternoon, that actually got eaten with tea as soon as we returned from our walk around the park.  So good to have another strong brunch option in Ealing and I cannot wait for Pitzhanger Manor to reopen next door with the ut
