On my commute this morning I was in desperate need of a coffee and for once I thought I would change up from my usual black americano and order a Latte.

Read MoreTableCrowd went on their travels over the Bank Holiday weekend. We were officially TableCrowd on Tour! First stop Dover, then over the channel to Calais for a drive up to a beautiful town in the east of Holland - Nijmegen.

I shared the table with one fellow Brit, a French-Canadian lady, a guy from the Netherlands and also fellow diners originally from India, Hong Kong, New Zealand (whose avatar / caricature on TableCrowd was ...

Read MoreAnd gossip there was! Not so much wine however, as Chico Bandito offered happy hour cocktails all night for the senioritis, so Cosmo's and bellini's were a-flowing! There were a couple of no shows, but c'est la vie (and their loss) but a top crowd of girls did show. One lady worked in a boutique hotel (no shortage of gossip there, with stories of guests and fellow workers). Fresh off the ...

The quintessentially English tearoom, Orange Pekoe offers a sunny pavement lunch spot - every wobbly metal table packed. We were lucky to ...
