Naughty milkshake

I am a big kid at heart.

 I'm jealous of the kids that get to play in the new Walpole play area.

 I read comics far too far into adulthood.

 And I love milkshakes.

 So much so that last week, on a grown up night out, we were having one for the road in Maggie's and their milkshake list caught my eye.

 They have the classics (Strawb, Chocolate etc), they have some quirky named ones (Musical Youth, Strawberry Fields) and then they offer something that caught my (slightly blurry) eye - they let you add a shot!!

 You can see where this is going?

 I asked the lovely lady of Maggie's what she would recommend and I got a dream in a glass.

 Made of the vanilla milkshake with a whizz of morello cherries and a shot of Amaretto this milkshake was AMAZING!!!!

 Needless to say it didn't last long (especially as a certain someone got the taste for it too) so if you are heading to Maggie's tonight I would ask for one of these and say Revealing Ealing sent you!




PS it isn't on the menu so I think they should name it after me : )

 PPS I also wondered why, when you have 'mocktails' there isn't a name for the boozy ones? I came up with two options...........The Cockshake OR The Milktail - what do you think?

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
