TikTok food star reviews 'indulgent' takeaway on the coast

Yahoo11 hours ago

A viral social media star has praised the "indulgent" food at a coastal establishment.
Sarah Hoirns opened Say Cheese at Beach Street in Felixstowe at the start of last year, serving up macaroni cheese loaded with a range of different toppings.
The takeaway allows guests to pick and choose from a range of toppings or specials such Mac Attack which is crispy potatoes topped with mac and cheese, or the D Oh Double G which is the cheesy pasta topped with hotdogs, crispy onions, yellow mustard and ketchup.
During a recent visit to the leisure hub on the Suffolk Coast, TikTok star Food Review Club tried the cheesy pasta offering.

"It's a delicious cheese mix, the mac is absolutely lovely, the crispy onions are great and the bacon bits are almost like small cuts of gammon," said the social media star.
"This is a really good meal. It is quite indulgent and the portion is very filling."

It is not the first time Food Review Club has tried the food at Suffolk restaurants and takeaways.
He previously gave high praise to the award-winning Jus Winging It in Ipswich and said Big Bro Bao, which can also be found at Beach Street, was a "work of art".

A Horror Movie Just Made Me Sob For The First Time, And I Doubt I'm Alone

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Warning: Major spoilers for 28 Years Later follow. If you've yet to watch the new horror movie, please tread lightly. I've watched a lot of the best horror movies over the years. Though they've made me cover my eyes in fear, hold my stomach in disgust, or caused me to bite my nails to the quick, I've never sobbed. Well, that changed when 28 Years Later opened on the 2025 movie schedule and blew me away with its emotional and thrilling journey about a mother and son attempting to make it through a land of rage-infected monsters while not losing their humanity. Seriously, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's latest collaboration, which CinemaBlend scored perfectly in our official 28 Years Later review, is a tour de force of horror, thrills, and emotional moments that brilliantly touch on grief, redemption, and finding one's place in the world (and what a mad, mad world it is). I don't know why, but this is something I wasn't really expecting to hit me the way it did… After watching the 28 Years Later trailer, reading about the opening half-hour of the long-awaited legacy sequel, and revisiting the first entries in the franchise, I was totally expecting this to be a thrilling horror adventure. With a world that looked like something akin to Mad Max in the United Kingdom, with hints of Robin Hood and multiple scenes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Jamie and Alfie Williams' Spike traveling into the quarantine zone, I was starting to piece together what I thought the movie would be long before sitting in my theater chair. On one hand, yes, 28 Years Later is a thrilling horror adventure. It has hordes of infected (not to mention that not-so-modest alpha), it has the heroes using bows and arrows and knives to take out disgusting creatures, and it has some of the most intense chase sequences I've seen in years. However, it's also something more than that. Something I wasn't really expecting… At the very core of the plot is a poignant drama that is one-part touching mother-son story and one-part powerful coming-of-age saga. All of the marketing material made it seem like the main focus was going to be on the relationship between Spike and Jamie. While that is a major part of the first half of the movie, it's the second part of the film, with its focus on Spike taking his mom, Isla (Jamie Comer), to meet a doctor on the mainland so they can find out what's wrong with her that is the heart and soul of the horror flick. As soon as Spike got the courage to take Isla to the mainland and see Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), I had a feeling what was going to happen. The terminally ill mother, who was unknowingly suffering from cancer all along, was on borrowed time, and there was no other way for her story to end. Although we've seen this many times over the years, the way Boyle and Garland crafted the second half of the film—a story about making the tough decision to let go in order to grow—hit right in the chest. Before seeing 28 Years Later, I thought I would one day be talking about the scariest scene from a horror movie, but instead I'm here talking about a heartbreaking yet incredibly beautiful moment where a dying mother comforts her son and lets him know that it's going to be okay. This is what really got me. After journeying through hell and back in order to reach Dr. Kelson's compound surrounded by the skeletons of hundreds, if not thousands of people, Isla learns that she has terminal cancer and nothing can be done except for her to die. Instead of suffering through her final days, the reclusive doctor gives Isla a more painless and dignified way out. What follows is a gut-wrenching and powerful scene in which Spike (drugged with morphine to numb the pain of losing his mother) and his mother have one final embrace. The acceptance, the emotion, and the weight of the scene left me in tears. Having experienced the death of his mother, the boy was on his way to becoming a man. Although he's only in the movie for a few minutes, 28 Years Later features one of Ralph Fiennes' best performances with his take on Dr. Ian Kelson. Eccentric yet grounded, pragmatic yet gentle, the mysterious figure (hopefully, we see more of him in the upcoming sequel) provides some of the film's best moments. One of those comes shortly before Isla's death, when Kelson tells Spike, 'Memento Amoris,' Latin for 'Remember, you must love.' In contrast to the whole 'Memento Mori' scene, where the characters discuss the importance of knowing that one day all things will die, it serves as a wonderful reminder of the full spectrum of life. Having just gone through a personal loss weeks before the movie came out, this scene, which I haven't been able to stop thinking about, was one of the most cathartic experiences I've ever had in a theater. Another part of the 28 Years Later ending that really got me was the scene where Spike travels back to the island to drop off the baby his mother delivered from the infected woman on the train earlier in the movie. Naming the newborn girl, who was somehow not infected by the rage virus, after his late mother was such a powerful choice. Though his mother is deceased and her skull sits atop one of Kelson's bone towers, her legacy lives on through the child who was born from death. In this moment, Spike remembers the death of his mother but also the love they shared for one another, and his decision to bring the child to safety ensures that not only humanity survives but so too does his mother's legacy. Overall, 28 Years Later, with its great music callbacks, an admittedly terrifying look at global politics, and buckets of emotion, was one of the greatest cinematic experiences I've had, not just this year, but of all time. It's a movie I won't soon forget.

Stubborn pooch lies down and refuses to move

This is the funny moment a stubborn pooch refused to move - no matter how hard its owner pulled on the lead. Jamie Bykov-Brett, 34, was walking home from an event near Temple Underground Station in London on Friday (June 27) when he came across the comical scene. The dog, an Akita, can be seen lying flat on the pavement, completely ignoring its owner's efforts to get it moving. Jamie, from Northampton, England, said: "I was just chuckling. "There were a few of us watching to see how it would play out. "It was a hot evening and I imagine the dog was just a bit fed up with the heat. "I left at the point the video ends, so what you see is all I know!"

Meet the London Fashion Insiders Making Niche Ice Cream Cool

Liking ice cream is hardly a niche interest in and of itself. But, in recent months—in London, at least—there's been a pronounced spike in interest in the frozen stuff among a curious coterie of people. Whether it's served at brand functions, directional vintage stores or scene-y bars, this summer, the city's style set is going gaga for niche gelato. But what, exactly, is fueling this wave of appreciation for chic ice cream among an audience of people who you don't typically associate with sweet treats? Well, who doesn't like ice cream, duh—and, if we're being frank, should you really trust anyone who doesn't? Moreover, though, this new wave of British ice cream brands see—and offer—themselves as more than just that: with directional branding, pop-ups in all the right places—think: Celine stores and Dalston's latest queer it-bars—and community-centric approaches, they're fully-fledged brands that speak to their audiences in a similar way that cultishly adored fashion brands do. Which makes perfect sense, given that the faces behind some of the city's most considered independent ice cream brands are, in fact, seasoned fashion folk: from Charms—run by Calvin Holmes, a former menswear buyer at SSENSE—to Baobae—fronted fashion's go-to legal consultant Lex Shu Chan; &chill—owned by Larissa Stange, a former Liberty buyer—and TKTK, a forthcoming joint venture by artist Nicole Coson and British Vogue contributing photographer Alex Paganelli (aka Deadhungry). Below, we get to know three of London's ice-cold brands getting the scoop on the drippy cross-section of the worlds of style and ice cream (sorry!), pushing frozen desserts into their coolest territory yet. Photo: Courtesy of Baobae Lex Shu Chan, founder of Baobae Vogue: When did your love for ice cream start? And what are some of your defining memories involving it? Lex Shu Chan: Growing up between Hong Kong and Toronto, ice cream was one of those universal languages of pleasure that transcended context. Equally, a scoop of ice cream also holds a quiet kind of power during harder times, letting us escape from whatever we are carrying, even if for a moment. I have strong memories of McDonald's soft serve and Meiji ice cream bars in Hong Kong (with Häagen-Dazs as the ultimate treat) and the endless variety of Baskin Robbins flavors in Canada. It is a joyful and nostalgic space for me, but also one that feels endless when it comes to playful reinterpretation.
