Last week I spent a day at Squires Kitchen, in Farnham, Surrey with Mark Tilling - Master Chocolatier and a winner of BBC Two's Bake Off: Crème de la Crème.
Founded in 2001 by father of three, Angus Olipant, Miniscoff is aimed at busy mums like me. From the beginning, I will say I wish I had known about this company back in 2001/02 as my children and I too, were denied!
Set on the hill at the edge of the town, the Reigate Manor Hotel does more than just offer a good night's rest to the weary traveller. From 7am until 11pm non-staying guests can pop in and take their time to enjoy everything from a morning coffee, through to a late night dram, with breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner served in between.
Over Easter we had a cocktail of chocolate to choose from and found a few home-grown companies right on our doorstep, offering great chocolate choices throughout the South-East.
Easter Holidays see me transfer in to the role of Chauffeur Mum - running the children here, there and everywhere. And last week we met Grandma in Petworth at the Hungry Guest. Surprisingly, there are three Hungry Guest’s in Petworth. How do I know? Because I was waiting in the wrong one!
