Welcome to FeedReel

Published by Nick at 3:07 pm under Using FeedReel

For anyone with an interest in food and drink (isn’t that everyone?), the web is an increasingly exciting source of ideas, stimulation and information.

Every day, over 30 fresh articles are posted on over 100 UK food blogs, with over a dozen more on 20-odd UK beer, wine and cider blogs. Numerous specialist websites are constantly adding new content and much of the old mainstream media’s writing on food is also available online.

The only problem is keeping up. It’s all too easy to miss an article on your favourite food and all too difficult tracking down the best information when you’re looking for a particular recipe or the low-down on a restaurant.

FeedReel is here to help. We keep a close eye on feeds from UK food blogs and websites, collating constantly updated summaries of the latest food and drink writing and news.

And if you’re looking for something specific, try our Food Search, which indexes over 200 carefully chosen UK food blogs and websites.

Let us know what you think. We’d like FeedReel to grow and develop to meet your needs, making food writing and resources on the web ever more accessible and useful.

    Nick,
    What a great idea – I shall certainly be adding a link from my blog. Another great food resource!

    Great idea – I’ve linked to the site and also added it to my Google Reader feed links so I can keep tabs on all the blogs I don’t take direct feeds from.

    Nick, I’ve thinking about setting up something similar through Netvibes. Like most ideas of mine it has remained dormant.

    Glad that you have run with the idea. Hope it works out.

    One suggestion….Would it be possible to put dates/times on the blog article headers. That way we’d know when the posts were from.

    Thanks Antonia, Trig, Dan, Cationa for your encouraging comments. I’m delighted that FeedReel is proving as useful a resource for others as it is for me.
    Dan – yes, I’m hoping to include times and dates in the listing of latest posts. And much more… in time!

    I stumbled across feedreel quite by accident the other day. It is am execellent resource with across the world.

    I am an restaurant owner; running a Caribbean Restaurant in Bristol. I have created a menu which to the best of my knowledge represents food from all the caribean Islands.

    My restuarant is located on the main A38 out of Bristol and can seat 150 people.

    I like my restaurant to be featured on the feedreel.

    Thank you for the opportunity to promote my business as well as the Caribbean food.

    Hello there

    Liking the site a lot, it’s been great for finding ideas for our blog.

    If you get the chance to add it to your listings that would be much appreciated – we’re aiming to review a restaurant in london for every country of the world!

    The link is: http://theworldin202meals.com/

    Cheers,
