Byron Burger

So...

We got an invite to a preview evening at the new Byron Burger opening in MK. Thought I'd let you all know what I thought.

Firstly the venue...

Loved it, light, spacious, loads of tables - but not crowded.

Staff were friendly & service was fast.

Now onto the important stuff - the food!

The Mr ordered a vanilla shake with malt - which he said was one of the best shakes he's ever had & I ordered elderflower presse which was lovely.

We both ordered the limited edition burger on the menu - which had a limited selection of burgers - he ordered fries as his side I ordered mac n cheese.


The burgers looked amazing & were juicy & full of flavour. They cook them medium which was perfect for The Mr - but I prefer mine cooked a bit longer & will ask for this next time.

The fries were good fries but the Mac n cheese was AMAZING!!! By far the best part of the meal for me & would come back just for this! 

If you go to a Byron defo try this as a side - you won't be disappointed!!

Will be back to Byron very soon!

Have you been to a Byron? What did you think??

How did I get on 13 in 13??? Whats next?

I set myself the 13 in 13 last year and wanted to have a quick review and see what this year plan might be?

1. Start a blog & make more comments on blogs I read – DONE & DONE – with limited success…. But I give myself a tick for this one.

2. Get more organised/de-clutter – DONE – well sort of – we did have a HUGE de-clutter – but this doesn't mean it is a finished task – I feel this is something that will be an ongoing project for the rest of my life – the constant cycle of de-clutter/sort out/ thin things out….

3. Garden – DONE – the grass is short – the patio exists (needs to be jet washed once winter has passed) the garden is usable! YAY!

4. Write letters/keep in touch – DONE – I have written several letters to my mum in Australia and have kept more in touch with family members that I usually do – YAY!

5. Get fit & Health – FAIL – oh dear…. I have truly done next to nothing on this over the past 12 months – opps…

6. Go on dates (With the Mr) – We spend most of our free time together – but not necessarily on proper dates – I think we went on a few but don’t feel I achieved this one properly.

7. Save £/make £ - this was an evolving subject – there were times throughout the year where very little £ was spent on anything unless absolutely necessary and times where we were more frivolous – so I say DONE as I have definitely got more of an awareness of what I spend on things I don’t need (tell that to all of the parcels that have been delivered from things I brought in the sales!!)

8. Capture the moment – DONE – We have had a few family meals recently and I was very aware of making sure we took some photo’s to capture the event - I love looking back at memories.

9. Appreciate and enjoy what I’ve already got – I think this another ongoing subject for me – ONGOING

10. Initiate plans with friends – DONE – I have been aware of making more of an effort in the coffee invites and lunches etc..

11. Do it now – ONGOING – my innate ability to be lazy often takes over – could do better :)

12. Book 3 weekend breaks – FAIL – total and utter fail – we didn't do ANY weekends away that weren't with family – defo want to try again with this one this year.

13. Ride my bike -  FAIL – another absolute fail on this one – the bike hasn’t made it’s way out of the shed – lets see if we can try again this year.

OK – so that’s how I got on with my task list from 2013.

I’ve decided that I’m, going to carry forward the Fails into this year as they are still things that I would like to do or get going with at least and maybe add a few into the mix aswell.

Another post to follow on what the 2014 aims are.

Do you set goals?

What are yours for 2014?
