I’ve, really missed going out to restaurants to eat. This was taken at the Botanist in Bristol, one of the last restaurants I reviewed before the lockdown! The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we eat out almost beyond recognition in some places. Hundreds of restaurants have closed, never to re-open again which has robbed good people of livelihoods and food lovers of great places to eat, drink and socialise. As a food critic, I don’t know what the future will hold for me? Although I have been writing restaurant reviews for a few years now, it was only in the last couple of months that I started to get my work printed in a local publication. I really do hope that I can continue to do what I really enjoy doing and hopefully progress into other publications? But more importantly I sincerely hope that the hospitality industry survives this pandemic and comes back bigger and stronger? #food #foodie #foodwriter #foodcritic #restaurant #restaurantcritic #foodwriterlife #foodblog #foodblogger #foodinfluencer #thebotanist #thebotanistbristol #bristol #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #foodjournalist #bristolblogger #bristollife #bristolmagazine #directlocal #directlocalmagazine #foodphotography #foodstagram #journalist #writer #restaurantreview #foodreview #foodbristol #bristoljournalist #instafoodie (at The Botanist, Bristol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjoZr3jnr5/?igshid=1940mpgedxwcb
