Review: Rosa’s Thai Cafe at Bluewater

Autumn's Mummy / 13th December 2018 / Leave a comment

Last week we accepted our invitation to review Rosa’s Thai Cafe, which has recently opened at Bluewater. I really enjoy Thai food and have always felt like Bluewater was missing a Thai restaurant, so it’s great that that has now been rectified. Located next door to the cinema and Dinotropolis, it is ideally positioned for a date with dinner and a film or a day out with children. That said, our main concern before putting it to the test was our 2 year old daughter Autumn. She had never eaten Thai food before! View Post

Home-cooked fast-food recipes

Autumn's Mummy / 28th November 2018 / 1 Comment

I try and cook healthy food for the family – and it’s especially important to do so when you have young children. But sometimes, when you’re feeling tired, there’s nothing better than a KFC Bargain Bucket or a couple of burgers. The trouble is, too much fast food really is bad for you – remember the 2004 documentary Super Size Me, when the film-maker ate only McDonald’s for 30 days?

I’ve come up with some healthy alternatives to my favourite fast foods. Here they are – tasty, convenient, home-cooked fast food recipes. View Post

Your guide to Christmas shopping in Kent, 2018

Autumn's Mummy / 23rd November 2018 / 1 Comment

It feel it’s so important to use local businesses and help keep them alive. Rather than funding the fat cats at the top of a chain, you’re helping to support people just like you and their families. Each individual sale means something. You can also find gifts that are a lot more unusual when you shop with local businesses! In Kent and Medway we have an abundance of lovely small companies creating beautiful products that would make wonderful gifts. Here are my top picks of who to shop with in Kent this Christmas!

A family meal at The Copperfield (now a Stonehouse pizza & carvery)

Autumn's Mummy / 4th May 2018 / Leave a comment

Like many locals, I was intrigued when I found out that The Copperfield was changing from a Crown Carveries to a Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery. With its great location on Gravesend Road in Shorne, it’s a perfect meeting place for families like ours who are spread between Gravesham and the Medway towns. As such, I have visited many times over the years. Recently, I was delighted to be invited to visit the newly refurbished restaurant to sample the menu and write a review. View Post
