It's the end of October, so before the Christmas chaos kicks in, Jamie and I decided to take a last minute foodie break, and Nice seemed like the perfect place to grab some Winter sun. But at Whitmore & White we're all foodies at heart, which means we can't go anywhere without having a mooch around the local delis, bakeries and wine shops! 

I was so excited to try the new Montserrat Marmalade and Blueberry & Apple Jam made in-store by Whitmore & White, as the collaboration of minds behind them are the epitome of great taste and quality. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day - well it just got a whole lot better!

Here at Whitmore & White our coffee has got quite a following, its fruity and nutty characteristics, long lingering finish and subtle acidity make it the perfect espresso blend for any cup of coffee.  Where as before you would have to pop in store and have one of our expert baristas make you a cup of this fine coffee, we are very excited to announce you can now pick up a bag to take home!

So, I've just searched for 'Father's Day presents' in Google for some inspiration. Quite frankly I was shocked at what appeared before me. Not sure my dad would appreciate sandal socks, a personalised compass, face beer mats or a self stirring mug? I can guarantee that presents like these would find a way to the back of a cupboard or in the bin, harsh but true.

Don't worry, I will go Caerphilly with the cheese puns, i don't want them to grate on you. Its fair to say that one of the most exciting things about coming to Whitmore & White was the cheese offering from powerful Munster to rich Perl Las, our cheeses are some of the best that Great Britain and Europe have to offer. here are my top 5.

We've all been asked this question, 'which celebrities would you invite to your fantasy dinner party?'
