Wednesday 28th September 2016 – House of Dodo, Kerb @ Quay, Canary Wharf, London Continuing on from last week’s trip to eat at the street food extravaganza (well, 8 stalls anyway) that is Kerb on the Quay over on West India Quay, and faced with a sunny lunchtime when I didn’t fancy soup at my…

Food 2016 – Allihopa, London
Friday 23rd September 2016 – Allihopa, Kerb @ Quay, Canary Wharf, London Last week, bored with eating lunch at my desk, and keen to see whether the concrete and glass monstrosity that is Canary Wharf has any redeeming features, I decided to go out to Kerb on the Quay over on West India Quay to…
Food 2016 – L’Autre Pied, London
Saturday, 28th May 2016 – L’Autre Pied, London Sometimes, just sometimes, there’s a Groupon offer that is just too good to turn down, and that makes going into London on a Saturday worth the effort. The offer of a tasting menu at two for the price of one at the one-Michelin starred l’Autre Pied was…
Food 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford
Tuesday, 6th September 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford An email in late August alerted me to the fact that one of my favourite eating places, Cameron’s Kitchen, in Stony Stratford was rolling out a new menu, with lots of starters/sharing plates, a small selection on more conventional meat, fish and vegetarian options, and a…
Events 2016 – Cars in the Claydons
Friday 2nd September & Saturday, 3rd September 2016 The inaugural Cars in the Claydons event may have been low key in terms of numbers, not in any way helped by the somewhat inclement verging on downright horrible weather on Saturday afternoon, though there were stretches of time when it was almost pleasant to wander the…
Food 2016 – Murrays, Whittlebury Hall
Friday, 2nd September 2016 – Murrays, Whittlebury Hall For reasons it’s hard to fathom we’ve never eaten at Whittlebury Hall bar the one occasion when we went to the Silson AC 35th Anniversary Dinner. I would argue that this does not count as it’s not fair to judge any restaurant on what is produced in…
Food 2016 – The Crooked Billet, Newton Longville
Saturday, 20th August 2016 – The Crooked Billet, Newton Longville, Milton Keynes We’d eaten at The Crooked Billet before (for a Burns Night Supper when there’d been a set menu) and had been meaning for some time to come back on a “normal” night, so a flying visit from a friend to collect a barbeque…
Food 2016 – Polpo, London
Sunday, 29th August 2016 – Polpo, Duke of York’s Square, London After failing to get any breakfast at all and spending the early part of the afternoon engaged in viewing Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones at the Saatchi Gallery we were very hungry and for that matter thirsty. Emerging blinking into a somewhat grey afternoon we…
Art 2016 – Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones, Saatchi Gallery
Sunday, August 28th 2016 – Saatchi Gallery, London Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones at the Saatchi Gallery proved to be a surprisingly worthwhile investment of £25.00 each. We initially felt that was a bit steep for gallery entry, but actually, unlike a lot of specially mounted exhibitions we have been to it was a very enjoyable…
Food 2016 – The Braai Shack, Wolverton
Friday, 26th August, 2016 – The Braai Shack, Wolverton Just to prove it’s not all fine dining, Michelin Stars and Gault-Millau around these parts, last weekend we took a trip to the Braai Shack, a South African restaurant in one half of a pub in one of the shabbier bits of Milton Keynes, Wolverton. With…
