Everyone loves to indulge in a meal out every now and then or treat themselves to some premium alcohol and here at Life of Man we are no different. We often frequent restaurants and being based in Milton Keynes have written a number of Milton Keynes restaurant reviews. If you love your food and drink we may have something here that you’ll be interested to read about.
Every now and then that annual thing comes around where all of your family and friends scramble about to find the perfect item to give you. Of course it’s your birthday and after a certain number of years and as you get older, their knowing what to buy you starts […]
Slowly but surely I’m working my way around the growing number of restaurants that Milton Keynes has to offer with my most recent meal being at Jamie’s Italian on Silbury Boulevard within the Centre:MK. Quick and Easy Dining Jamie Oliver’s latest book is centred around “Quick & Easy Dining” which […]
For many years I’ve struggled with bloating and symptoms of having an intolerance and only in the last few weeks have I decided to finally take things a little more seriously and address it. I kicked things off by removing lactose from my diet however as this made little difference […]
Yes I’m from Buckinghamshire and yes I am pretty middle class – that can only mean one thing… I am a sucker for a good cream tea! Whilst on a city break in York Sarah and I passed a little shop on the Shambles called The Flax & Twine which was […]
Last weekend I was kindly invited to The Wheatsheaf in Bow Brickhill (on the outskirts of Milton Keynes) for dinner. The pub has received a top to bottom makeover and within just 4 short weeks has been transformed into a modern looking bar and grill with a London inspired design. […]
Pizza Express is one of those restaurant chains that now appears on every high street up and down the country and they all look and feel the same. That does of course bring a sense of familiarity to the brand but it also means a lack of personality and localisation. […]
Recently at work there have been a lot of changes taking place; some people are leaving, some are changing role, some are being promoted and there are some new starters. What better way to celebrate all of this than with a classic team lunch! The destination of choice on this occasion […]
During my recent weekend break in York I made the most of the food and drink that the city had to offer, particularly with regard to the independent cafes to ensure local businesses were supported. The first place that I visited was Mannion & Co. on Blake Street for breakfast as […]
Weekends for me are all about relaxing and enjoying the money that I bust my gut to earn 5 days per week. This usually comes in the form of eating out in and around Milton Keynes. This Sunday was no different and so I decided to head to Zizzi Italian […]
If you’re a follower of my blog you’ll know that I head out for dinner in Milton Keynes fairly often. I like to mix things up a little and so where possible I try to head to new restaurants and pubs to see what I’ve been missing out on all […]
I recently experienced my first proper taste of Vietnamese food by heading to The House of Ho restaurant on Percy Street in Fitzrovia, London. Vietnamese food is certainly not something that immediately jumps to mind when family or friends suggest going out for dinner so when I was invited for dinner with […]
Last night I headed out for dinner at The Garage in Buckingham to celebrate a friends birthday. The restaurant hasn’t been open for long and so it offered us the opportunity to try out somewhere new. First things first, sort out an outfit for dinner. With it being a cold evening […]
On a very wet and windy Saturday evening I headed over to The Prince George pub in Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes for dinner with my family. The pub is still fairly new having only opened in Feb 2014 and in true British style was named after Will and Kate’s royal baby. […]
Last weekend I headed to Turtle Bay at The Hub in Milton Keynes for a taste of something different – casual dining with some Caribbean food. Turtle Bay in a chain in the UK, sure, however there aren’t many places I can name or even think of that serve Caribbean […]
At the weekend I headed across to The Don Indian restaurant in Milton Keynes for dinner – having been for dinner at Middletons Steakhouse last weekend and had a pretty abysmal experience I was hoping an Indian restaurant might revive my faith in eating out! My usual Indian routine in Milton Keynes typically […]
Yesterday Sarah told me that she had secured herself a new job which was fantastic news. I wanted to celebrate the occasion and so decided to take her out for a fancy dinner in Milton Keynes and chose Middletons Steakhouse & Grill as the destination. We’d been to Middletons a […]
With the sun shining and an afternoon spare, yesterday Sarah and I headed over to the MK Feast in Bradwell Abbey, Milton Keynes. The event was positioned as a fun family day out with food stalls and locally produced products. I had no idea how busy the event was going […]
Being a lover of craft beer it was great to be contacted by the guys over at Flavourly.com recently to give their service a go. Flavourly featured on the BBC’s Dragons Den, starting as an entrepreneurial idea around a personalised beer service. Essentially what Flavourly do is deliver a variety […]
There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh herbs in your food and after years of spending money in supermarkets buying them fresh, Sarah and I thought it would be fun to grow our own. With that we headed down to Homebase and bought a flat pack herb planter and […]
This weekend brought about the best weather of the year so far in Leighton Buzzard with Saturday peaking at 16 degrees and today topping out at 19 degrees. So what better way to spend my Sunday than washing the car, going for a drive and finishing the day in a […]
