Mammoth meal

Image
Yes, you've heard of a high-tea before... but have you heard of a BEER high tea?! Matching the beer theme We were kindly invited to try out the latest initiative at Baby Mammoth in Northbridge, beer high tea which (you'll be glad to know) they plan to do regularly; hopefully monthly, with local breweries. We sure drink recklessly to sustain our never-ending appetite, but beer isn't usually our go-to-drink at bars. So we didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into except for the fact that Beer High Tea sounded intriguing. All the tables were set out neat and nice and the great thing about Baby Mammoth is that it is a small local business owned by a young couple, Tania and Ryan who has worked hard to build up their brand and have rightfully gained respect and trust from the crowd as the place to dine in on William Street, Northbridge. And to those of you who are not familiar with Baby Mammoth (but you should really try their food and drinks!), it...

Bread winner

Mount Claremont Village Bakery Bread and coffee, what's not to love? Few outdoor seatings available Coffee + Bread = 💓 As a family owned business, Mt Claremont Village Bakery brings all the locals to the spot. Not only do they sell rock & roll artisan breads, bagels to desserts, one of the owners Emmett and his dad Sean are the nicest people we've met; it was like talking to one of our neighbours! When asked what was their most popular product in house, he couldn't specify a single item. The reason being they sell out of most of their baked goods in the morning! From humble cinnamon rolls to strawberry tarts and doughnuts, everything from their bakery is a winner. And we really mean it when we say it's a winner! At the Royal Food Award for Bread and Pastry show in 2016, they won Bronze in sausage rolls and pasties, Silver in artisan sweet and flavoured breads, Silver in Sourdough, and Gold in ciabatta rolls. Yes, they mean serious bread...
