OK, now I know Taste of London hasn’t even happened yet, but with Taste of Birmingham less than 3 weeks away we wanted to give you a chance to enter our new competition to win one of 2 Pairs of Tickets to this years event!

Taste of Birmingham takes place from 9th – 12th July and is being held at the beautiful Cannon Hill Park just a stone’s throw (or should I say cricket ball’s) from the legendary Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Set in this lovely leafy location it is sure to be a fitting finale to this years “Taste Of” trilogy.

As the official supplier of table linen to the VIP area at this years event, Milk and Honey is giving you the chance to experience some of Birmingham’s finest restaurants (including Cielo and Purnell’s to name just a couple), take master classes from some world famous chefs and of course indulge yourselves in the best the midlands have to offer.

Entry is simple (the way we like to keep it at M&H), so all you have to do is pop along to our website, hit register and fill in a few details. When the competition is over we’ll do a prize draw and the winner will receive a pair of tickets to go to Taste of Birmingham on the day of their choice!

Entry to our Taste of London 2009 competition has now finished and we have the pleasure of announcing the 2 lucky winners!

Congratulations to Mary Loader and Rebecca Courtney who have each one a pair of complimentary tickets to this years festival on the date of their choice!

Milk and Honey continues to sponsor the Taste Festivals so check back soon as we’ll be running another competition to coincide with Taste of Birmingham.

We try to be on the ball at Milk and Honey when it comes to cultural happenings in Cardiff, and music is certainly very high up on our list. Having been involved in various guises since the early nineties I wanted to write a post about Musicbox Studios – Cardiff’s longest running and most prestigious rehearsal and recording studios.

Musicbox was the brain child of Mark Foley, who took over a couple of run down rehearsal rooms in West Canal Wharf (which has since been redeveloped) back in 1990. As the music scene grew in South Wales (during the mid 90′s it became a mecca for Record Label attention) as did the business, eventually outgrowing it’s City Centre location and relocating to a bigger industrial unit on Daisy Street, Victoria Park.

The business went from strength to strength and 10 years later the 3 room setup was bursting at the seams so after joining forces with Andrew “Bernie” Plain they relocated to a brand new unit on Tollgate Close, just off Penarth Road.

It took the guys the best part of 18 months to build the new Musibox from scratch, and now complete it boasts 6 fully functional rehearsal rooms (including aircon, PA etc) as well as pro recording facilities, a kit shop, storage facilities and even a cafe!

Such is the reputation of Musicbox, you’ll often find such luminaries as Super Furry Animals, Bullet for my Valentine or even Budgie walking the halls and rocking out in their respective rooms!

Musicbox is open 362 days a year, from 10am – Midnight, and can be contacted on 02920 373707.

Hot off the back of ‘Taste of Edinburgh’ we’re once again teaming up with the people at Channel 4 to provide the table linen for Taste of London 2009.

The event, hosted on June 18th – 21st in Regents Park, is building up to be the must attent food festival of the summer. With such chefs as Olivier Limousin and resturants including Le Pont de la Tour and Le Gavroche it’s no wonder this year’s event is sold out.

Fear not however, as Milk and Honey is giving you the opportunity to win a Pair of Tickets to Taste of London 2009 on the date you choose!

Entering this fantastic competition couldn’t be easier. Simply register on the Milk and Honey website before 12th June and you will automatically be entered into our competition to win a pair of tickets to Taste of London 2009.

Good luck! x
