AD - PR Experience 🥂 I have a little hidden gem

AD - PR Experience 🥂 I have a little hidden gem of a restaurant to share with you...

When I first heard of @pjayzkitchen which is described as a “cross-culture” restaurant, I wasn’t sure what I was expecting... but after visiting, I totally get what they are going for! 👌🏼

They’ve only been open since last August but they offer a relaxing, calming atmosphere, with simple but decorative interiors, smooth romantic music on in the background and a delicious variety of food! 😍

Chef Paulina has done a fantastic job in offering a mix of every cuisine: English, a bit of French, Spanish, Italian and Indian - there’s something for everyone to enjoy! An example of what we enjoyed:

🍄 Cream of mushroom soup
🥩 Beef Carpaccio
🥗 A selection of canapés including a delicious chutney and cheese cracker spoon!
🍝 Tagliatelle with chicken, squid ink and mushroom sauce
🥩 Sirloin steak with added sides of Pjayz special rice and rocket and Parmesan
🍓Pavlova with meringue, fruit and compote

We also were looked after by lovely waitress, Isabella, who I want to give a little shout out too - it’s not often waitress staff make a big impression!

This restaurant has lots of potential, especially with its prime location where you can pop by another independent for a drink afterwards - now more people just need to check it out! 🙌🏻

📍 Find Pjayz Kitchen on 19-21 Derngate, Northampton, NN1 1TY

Hello from John O’ Groats! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Really enjoying this break away from social media and we’ve been doing lots of Highland walks, lots of napping and drinking - having the best time 😍

Hope you’re all well! Catch you on the other side 👋🏼

Goodbye Northamptonshire... ... for now! (Did I f

Goodbye Northamptonshire...

... for now! (Did I fool you?) 😂 I’m off to Scotland for a week which is our first trip away since August! It’s well overdue and my first week off this year, so a rest is well needed! 😍

We’ve got a 12 hour car journey through the Scotland highlands ahead of us, visiting Josh’s parents, check out the local sights including John o’ Groats with plenty of walking and a stop in Edinburgh on the way home! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ll share some bits in stories of course, so putting a pause on Northants content for a bit - hope you don’t mind!

Have you booked any staycations (or dare I say: holidays) yet this year? See you all on the other side! 👋🏼

Who’s excited for indoor dining now? 🙌🏻

I have a confession: I’ve only got one place booked for indoor dining this week and it’s not in Northamptonshire! 🙈 we’re off to one of my fave Thai restaurants in Newport Pagnell with friends before we drive up to Scotland when I’m sure we’ll be taking advantage of the indoor dining up there! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A few places on my bucket list for when we return to Northants include The Rice Bowl (pictured because I LOVE their Chinese 😍) @pinchmybunuk, @laterrazaupton, @thewineroom_kettering, @tenhandscafe and many many more (my list is HUGEEEE!)

Did you take advantage of indoor dining yesterday? Tell me where you went or tell me where you’re planning on/dreaming of heading to! I need all the foodie inspiration ☕️🍔🍟🥂🧁🥗

WE CAN EAT & DRINK INSIDE FROM NEXT WEEK 🙌🏻

Who’s ready for some indoor dining? As much as outdoor dining was exciting and it was a step closer to normality, I am looking forward to not feeling cold or getting windswept 😅

As highly requested, I have put together a blog post guide on where you can eat & drink indoors from May 17th which I will keep updated all this week! Check out the full guide in the link in my bio! 👆🏻

Where’s the first place in Northamptonshire (or beyond) you’re heading to? I’ve got a few places on my list! 😍 don’t forget to tag #NavigatingNorthants in your indoor foodie photos!

AD - PR Gift 🥧 what’s your ultimate favourite

AD - PR Gift 🥧 what’s your ultimate favourite pie filling? You may just find yours at this local foodie spot to take home...

I wish we saved this incredible pie from @clarke_and_dean until today because I don’t know about you, but pie, mash and gravy is the ultimate rainy day dinner, right? 🌧

Clarke & Dean are an independent coffee shop in Towcester who alongside serving their freshly ground coffee, they also have these handmade luxury family pies 😍

Choose from Steak & Stilton (which is what we had here) Chicken & Ham, Steak & Ale, Chicken & Leek and a vegetarian option which they change up! All filled with local fresh ingredients and covered in a flaky gold pastry crust. DELICIOUS! 🤤 swipe for gravy pouring goodness!

You can order them cooked or frozen for your convenience and the cooking instructions are super easy! You can easily share this amongst 2+ people!

I STILL haven’t experienced a dine in meal here yet, so come 17th May, this is one of the spots I’m heading to 💃🏻

📍 You can visit Clarke & Dean on 169 Watling Street, NN12 6BX and can pre-order your pies by calling 01327 354444 or email bookings@clarkeanddean.co.uk
