Sabatini Italian Restaurant - Exeter, UK

Do you have a soft spot for authentic Italian food? The pasta, pizza and lots of cheese? Then you have to pay a visit to this wonderful new kid on the block on the high streets of Exeter city: Sabatini Italian Restaurant. Read more to explore more of this new addition in town. What is Sabatini? Sabatini only opened its doors in May 2021, just a few days before we visited. We had no idea it was a brand new restaurant as we only stopped by Exeter to grab lunch during our vacation in Devon. We had no idea where to go for lunch, as all the restaurants were full since indoor dining was only just allowed in the UK. We randomly just called this place at 1pm and asked if a table was available, and to our luck there was! We felt bad for dining here with our wellington boots as it was a fine dining place :) Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Location Located in the heart of Exeter city, it is quite easy to find. Parking will not be next to the restaurant b...

The Harbour Inn - Folkestone, Kent, UK

The Harbour Inn is an ideal place if you want a full course meal or just want to chill out and have a few drinks. Visited this pub on a cold and chilly afternoon just when outdoor dining was allowed again in UK. Interior Bar Area Location Located right on the harbour, it is central and easy to get to. There is a large pay and display carpark where you can park with ease and walk here in approx. five minutes.  Food and Drinks There is a wide range of food and drinks available. We wanted something warm and quick so we went for chips and a burger. We also changed our plans at the last minute and decided to do a takeaway instead of outdoor dining. The staff accommodated our request with ease with no issues. The drinks were also good. Service The service for food and drink was absolutely fine. Although, I would think that some outdoor heaters should be arranged as it was absolutely freezing to sit outside that day.

14 Bar and Grill - Bootle, Liverpool, UK

Panoramic views of Liverpool City? Rooftop Bar? Good food and ambience? If that sounds like you, then 14 Bar and Grill is a must visit. We visited Liverpool for a weekend, and were looking for a rooftop bar to have food and enjoy some drinks. This seemed to tick all the boxes for us. View of 14 Bar and Grill, Bootle, Liverpool (interior and Exterior Seating) Location This place is in a suburb called Bootle, which is around 10 minutes taxi ride from central Liverpool. The reason I said that it is a well kept secret, is that even the taxi driver didn't know this place and was struggling to find it. Strangely enough, this place is actually located on the roof of an apartment complex called Daniel House. Its a nice place, well tucked away from the mainstream bars and is very easy to get to.  Interior, Ambience and Views There is an indoor and outdoor seating area. Indoor area is spacious with a lot of tables. The outdoor area is of course only better in summertime when the weather is m...
