Folkestone just got a whole lot less delicious.
It’s with a heavy heart that I write about the closure of Dr Legumes, the beloved plant-based business that has served up thought-provoking food, community care, and a whole lot of heart for the past decade.

Tucked away in the small Welsh town of Cwmavon, not far from Port Talbot in the preserved county of West Glamorgan, is a local pub called The Brit.

Club Mexicana is mentioned a lot on this blog.
The Mexican-inspired comfort food business has been serving London for more than 10 years and their loaded nachos are a FGV favourite.
