Review: Tap On The Line, Kew

Nothing quite beats a cosy pub dinner right? Located next door to Kew Gardens tube station is thepub Tap On The Line. Looking a little bit like an old aunt's eccentric house, the pub is a mix match of interiors which only encourages to make it more charming. I love a pub that you can spend hours in and feel at home. Tap on The Line is one of those pubs.

We had just finished viewing the amazing Christmas at Kew and wanted somewhere quick for a bite to eat before starting our 90 minute journey home. So we only picked a main course. The location made this pub fantastic. The service wasn't the greatest - I think it took nearly 40 minutes for our food to arrive. But luckily the dinner made up for the slow service!

I opted for the goats cheese and roasted walnut tagliatelle. The goats cheese was little sparse but overall the pasta was delicious. The walnuts added much needed crunch and generous garlic sauce gave it something special. It wasn't too heavy but totally hit the spot.

My mum and nan opted for the sausage and mash with caramelised onion gravy and root vegetable crisps. The mash was out of this world! So rich and creamy, I may or may not have finished my nan's leftovers... The root vegetable crisps were a great extra and helped to add something a little bit different to a classic dish.

Beauty review: a Kerestraight treatment

Hair can take a battering. Thanks to the intense heat of hairdryers and straighteners paired with the extreme weather conditions and the busy days and nights, your hair can be one of the last things you think of. But like everything else, it needs some TLC once in a while. So enter Kerestraight.

My hair was in desperate need of some loving so I was very kindly treated to an intense boost treatment at Salon International, Excel centre. The treatment helps to rebuild what the hair lacks and locks in moisture for up to 30 days. Sounds like a miracle? That's because it certainly is! My hair had never looked so shiny and glossy - I felt like I was in a hair advert. It can be done in a Kerestraight salon and only takes around 30 minutes to complete. A special solution is added to your washed, wet hair. Once it's washed off, your hair is blowdried, straighteners are run through and it's all done. It's really as simple as that!

There's not hassle of having to wait a few days to wash your hair. After this treatment you can wash your hair in as little as 30 minutes and it still looks just as good as new after it's dried. It's a fantastic treatment if you have a special occasion like a wedding or simply because you've decided your locks need to be treated. It's something I'd definitely recommend if you're looking to treat your mane to help keep it in tip top condition. Visit the website to find your nearest salon.

Video: Banana and nut chocolate fudge

Another baking video for you to feast your eyes on! This time I've gone for a really simple fudge recipe. Nothing fussy but delicious all the same. Banana and chocolate have always been a winning combination and nuts just make everything tasty right? Nothing like a satisfying crunch when you bite into something sweet.

They make great stocking filings or even little presents for the neighbours or work colleagues. Wrap in a cute cellophane bag, tie with a pretty ribbons and you've got a thoughtful gift. Have a little look at the video below and let me know what you think.
