If you love custard creams, you need to try these. 🤯

Marks & Spencer have somehow turned the classic biscuit into a cookie and they’ve absolutely nailed it. The custard flavour is spot on, soft in the middle, packed with flavour, and honestly tastes just like biting into a custard cream.

These are dangerously good. 🍪💛

Tried the lemon curd doughnut from M&S 🍋🍩

The dough itself was a little underwhelming… but honestly the sweet, sharp lemon curd saves it. That balance of sugary and sour actually works really well. Not perfect, but definitely still dangerous 😅

Dark Chocolate & Pretzel Cookie from M&S 🍪🔥
Another M&S cookie — and this one’s up there with the best of them. Not overly sweet, rich dark chocolate throughout, and that pretzel crunch is seriously satisfying. A perfect sweet–salty hit.

Milk Pie from Frankie’s Bakery in Chiswick 🥧✨
Walked in thinking I was grabbing a mince pie… turned out to be an amazing surprise from Frankie’s Bakery. It’s basically a Pastel de Nata vibe wrapped in a mince-pie style crust. The pastry was incredible and the filling was perfectly spongy and delicious. Such a win.

The Reuben at The Brass Rail, Selfridges 🥪✨
This one hits different, brings back childhood memories of coming here with my grandmother. The salt beef is perfectly moist, and the balance of the cheese and sauerkraut is just spot on. A classic done right.

Miso Bacon Burger from Black Bear Burger 🍔🔥
This one’s up there with my favourites. The miso brings that deep umami hit, paired with a perfectly cooked patty and crispy smoked bacon — absolute perfection on a bun.

Challenge to get out, tasted good, but doesn’t need the chocolate 🙂

Viral Chocolate Pastel de Nata from M&S 🍫🥐
Yeah, it’s good… but did it need the chocolate? Not sure it actually improves on the classic. The OG still wins for me, simpler, cleaner, just perfect. Struggling to get it out of the tin may have made me a bit biased 😅

Dead Hippie burger from MEATliquor 🍔🔥
Closest thing to a Big Mac without being a Big Mac. That sauce is next level, tangy, creamy perfection, and those classic pickle flavours are on point! Double patty bliss. Everything I hoped for and more.

Fresh out the oven 😍 the cinnamon bun from Mother’s Bakehouse — light, fluffy middle, perfect crust, and not too sweet 👌 I could 100% eat the whole tray 😂
