Bumpkin

After an afternoon at the V&A, Regan and I tucked away to Bumpkin, one of my favorite spots in South Kensington. My go to is their fish & chips, I'm such a sucker for them, but the rest of their menu is just as good! I've eaten here on about three other occasions and am completely comfortable saying they do seasonal British food to a tee. Their Bumpkin lager & cider aren't so bad either!  

We started with mac & cheese while we waited for Kelsey to join us.

Then ordered some classic British food once Kels arrived. She went with one of their many tasty pies, the chicken, leek, and mushroom pie, while Regan and I both went for classic fish & chips.

If you're in Notting Hill or South Ken, definitely make a visit to Bumpkin!

flowers & food

This post is dedicated to two of my favorite things, flowers and food, all in my hometown of San Francisco, which is probably my favorite thing of all. If you're from the bay, you know SF doesn't mess around when it comes to food. All types, we have it covered...it's a foodie's paradise. When it comes to flowers, we aren't too shabby either! I visited the Japanese Tea Garden (discount for SF residents) and the Botanical Gardens (free for SF residents!) in Golden Gate Park for the first time and was in complete awe of the natural scenery in such a busy city. If you're in Golden Gate Park, check either out, after visiting the de Young and the Conservatory of Flowers. If you feel like dining instead of sight-seeing, check out Roam Burger or Ragazza for some delicious grub.
