I’d say this little Bearwood eatery was a hidden gem, but that would be a lie. A La Mexicana has been there, quietly serving amazing food for a few months now, literally ten minutes from my front door. Then suddenly, it got discovered, and everyone and their cat has been shouting about how great it …
I love getting foodie tips from friends in the know. My husband and I took a day trip to Ironbridge, and luckily for me, @thecoffeehuntdiaries recommended The Green Wood Cafe. The Green Wood Café is just outside of Ironbridge, in the Green Wood Centre. If you’re in Ironbridge to see the famous bridge, the café …
