Pepitos serves up sizzling fajitas that have the whole restaurant looking over to see what’s landed on your table. They come with peppers, onions, guacamole, sour cream, salsa and warm tortillas.
Rather someone else did the assembling? The Mar y Tierra pairs chicken fillets with butterfly prawns in a rich, smoky chipotle chilli sauce. Less DIY, more getting stuck in.

There is a Pupuccino bar, pumpkins everywhere, spooky photo spots and plenty of off-lead chaos. Costumes are encouraged for the dogs. What the owners wear is between them and their conscience!
HOUSE OF THE WEEK
🏡 - Six Bedrooms, a Cinema Room and a Garage That’s Had a Career Change!
💰 - Guide price £1,500,000
📍 - Somme Road, Allestree
🛏️ - 6 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms, 4 Reception Rooms
📷 - @derbyshireproperties
Electric gates, a private road and a £1.5 million price tag. This house has more security than your online banking. Inside, there’s a cinema room, a dedicated drinks area and a kitchen big enough to lose someone in until dinner’s ready.
Four bedrooms have en-suites, so nobody’s fighting over the bathroom. Even the triple garage has upgraded to a gym. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still using ours to store Christmas decorations and boxes marked “important”.
