About

Sophie etc.® is an award-winning Milton Keynes food and lifestyle blog helping you to discover the best independent places to eat and explore in Milton Keynes. Here you will find the guides to the independent restaurants, small businesses and things to do within an MK postcode.

Get a new perspective on Milton Keynes…

My mission is to inspire you to discover a whole different side of Milton Keynes. It gets a bit of a bad rep, but I love MK and I love living here and celebrating great independents in the area.

Food is my favourite way to spend time, whether it’s cooking it, eating it in a restaurant with friends or discovering a hidden gem on my doorstep. I created the Milton Keynes Food Guide so that you can also discover some of the best places to eat in Milton Keynes. You’ll also find restaurant reviews and recipes using local produce here too.

If food isn’t your thing, I write about awesome local businesses you can shop with as well as ideas for things to do in Milton Keynes.

Sophie etc.® was recognised as Social Media Influencer of the Year 2024 and 2022 at the MK Inspiration Awards and was also shortlisted for Food Influencer of the Year in the Blogosphere Awards in 2021.

Events

Sophie’s Supper Club is a social dining event held in collaboration with independent restaurants in Milton Keynes. I collaborate with some of MK’s best vendors to bring you an evening of great food and company.

Sophie’s Street Feast is an annual street food festival in collaboration with Toybox Charity. The event brings together the best street food vendors from Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas to raise money for charity. The inaugural event in 2023 raised over £1,600 for Toybox, Girl Pack and St. Mark’s Meals.

About Sophie

My blog remains a passion project and all of the money that I generate through paid partnerships goes back into the ongoing maintenance of my website and social media platforms so I can continue to create organic content. My background is in marketing, PR and content creation. My day job is my social media agency, Social etc.®, where I create and manage social media campaigns for businesses including global charities, national food & drink brands and more.

I live in Milton Keynes with my husband, Dan and our crazy cockapoo Monty. When I’m not blogging or exploring the local food scene, you’ll find me at the gym, cooking up a storm in the kitchen or exploring a new country.

Where it all began

I started Sophie etc.® in 2012 as a way to document my life and personal style. In 2013, I was shortlisted for a Company Magazine style blogger award before I went to university in Birmingham for three years.

It was in Birmingham that I discovered my love for food writing. I was the editor of Redbrick Food and began writing about the local food scene on my blog. When I returned home in 2016, I used my blog as a way to explore MK’s local food scene. In 2018, I rebranded and focussed solely on creating content about Milton Keynes and since then, I’ve not looked back.

Sophie etc. is run largely non-profit. All the money I make goes back into supporting the independent food scene or running events. Thank you for supporting my content!
