Restaurant Review - En Place Pop Up

On Thursday night we spent the evening at 6/8 Kafe at Millennium Point. It is becoming a very popular spot for pop up restaurants and there are several more lined up within the next few months.

On this night, we were there for En Place. It's a new business consisting of two chefs from Worcester who have over 30 years experience between them. We attended their last pop up event at 6/8 Kafe and were so impressed we thought we would try this menu too!

 

The menu on the night consisted of;

Snacks –  Crispy pigs ear and fresh raw asparagus with olive oil powder

Beetroot and Goats Cheese

Octopus, Watermelon, Black olive, Bloody Mary Sorbet

Sticky Toffee Pigs Cheek, Apple, Fennell, Asparagus, Vinegar

Dark Chocolate Tart, Burnt Orange, Cinnamon

Retro Petit Fours – Peach Melba, Black Forest Gateaux and Walnut Whip

 

 

 

 

We both really enjoyed our meals. I have to take my hat off to the boys who have evidently worked very hard on the menu and were excellent hosts on the evening yet again.

 

 

The stand out dishes for me personally were the sticky toffee pigs cheek which was absolutely delicious and made me crave for more and the dark chocolate tart on the dessert course.

   

 

 

I thought the menu was well planned and all courses complimented each other and I thoroughly enjoyed the quirkier elements to the dishes too. 

     

The menu cost was £35 per head for the 5 courses and as 6/8 Kafe don’t have an alcohol licence, bring your own bottle is in operation! Give the boys a follow over on twitter so you can keep updated with all future pop up news - @_enplace

Not another mascara review?

This is my second mascara review in a row but I had to tell you all about the roller lash mascara by Benefit which I purchased last weekend! This mascara has been out quite a while now so I am quite late jumping on the bandwagon but I must say the hype is most definitely worth it!

The wand is made from plastic and I normally always go for a brush style wand as I find they make my lashes thicker and more voluminous. However, this was not the case with the roller lash. 

I love the packaging of this mascara and the way it looks. It is typical Benefit and looks very cute. In comparison to the ‘They’re real’ mascara by Benefit it holds the curl longer and adds more volume and length. I loved the fact that I did not need to curl my eyelashes before I applied this mascara as the wand did all this for me! I love the formula of this mascara too as it doesn’t give you that clumpy look that some can! As a side note, I do tend to coat my lashes several times in this mascara to achieve this look. 

What do you think? Has anyone else tried this mascara?
