So our first review is the place where this idea began: Meatcure in Market Harborough. Unfortunately as we didn’t think the entire thing through, I don’t have an image of our food so I have had to pick one up off google, my apologies.
So we picked a pretty bomb place to start. This was our first time visiting Meatcure and it was quite something to behold. As well as the service being nothing short of golden, the food was pretty awesome. I picked the Rocky Balboa burger which was a burger patty, topped with beer pulled chicken. My only let down with my burger was it was slightly too well done for my liking but the chicken was incredible. Very juicy and full or flavour. Jed picked the New York, New York which I had slight food envy of until I tasted mine. His also had the beer pulled chicken but was topped with melted cheese, bacon, pastrami, sauerkraut, pickle and mustard. A true taste of New York. The only complaint I heard was the sauerkraut made the bun slightly soggy.
The jalapeño bites weren’t our favourites. In our opinion they could’ve done with slightly more cheese and the peppers could have been smaller but the blue cheese sauce they came with were perfect. 👌🏻 Overall, we had a really nice meal and couldn’t complain at the price for the portion sizes. If you still fancy a drink after, you can always do what we did and pop into the bar next door, Mercado Lounge. A wonderfully ugly, 80’s styled bar with an exciting cocktail menu and some vintage games such as connect 4 and Scrabble to play at your table. A quirky and fun end to a satisfying meal.

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

#40 Yard&Coop, Manchester

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
