24 St Georges - Brighton

It was my friend's dad's birthday so he took us all out for dinner at this posh restaurant 24 St Georges. The food was minimal on the plate and looked very 'chefy' but it made up for this in the taste factor. 

I started with a Mediterranean vegetable terrine with cucumber sorbet and olive tapenade, beautifully cooked selection of vegetables. The starter was followed by a palette refresher in the form of a Virgin Mojito Sorbet where you could add a shot of rum for an extra 50p...so naturally we did.

My main was probably one of the best pork dishes I've ever tried accompanied with gnocchi and vegetables wrapped in spring roll type pastry. For dessert it was a berry sponge with candied beetroot and chocolate ganache. I can guarantee that it tasted as good as it looked on the plate.

For added sophistication we ended our meal with a selection of cheeses and an Espresso Martini. 

Ok so this isn't the type of place you would go eat every week, especially if you are on a budget but its perfection for a special occasion. The staff were lovely and even helped us out with taking our group photo so we could remember the great meal.

Christmas Gift Guide - Under £25

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!....Probably everyones favourite time of year, it's definitely mine. It's the time where you get to wrap up in cosy layers, wear more sparkle and crack out the berry lips even just for the weekly food shop. It's also that time of year where you have the best excuse to go shopping...a lot! I thought I would share with you some of the things that I have seen on the high street that would make perfect little gifts, from stocking fillers to Secret Santa at work.

There are a lot of amazing things out there and all of the things I feature here are £25 and under and most are very purse friendly. I thought these items were perfect for little stocking fillers for loved ones or if your work is doing a Secret Santa and you may end up having to buy for someone you may not know so well.

I hope this helps you to find that perfect gift or even just a little pressie for yourself.
