REVIEW: Eversfield Organic at the Dartmoor Inn, Merrivale

If you’re heading from Exeter, Dartmoor is deceptively close – as the crow flies it’s five miles to the east border of Dartmoor National Park from Ide.

It is very clear … Continue reading GUEST POST: Support a local charity and boost your food business.

I’ve been a little quiet on the blog recently due to the busy-ness of life, but I am still orchestrating things in the background … Continue reading Casual Dining in Exeter: Perfect ‘Pho’ the cold weather!
