Monday, 9th April 2018 – Le Cigalon, London Le Cigalon sent me an email inviting me to test drive their new 5 course menu for £29.50 a head (it’s normally £36.50 for 3 courses), which for central London is a massive bargain. Having discussed catching up over dinner with our friend Janice I asked her…

Travel/Food 2018 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen
Wednesday, 21st/Friday, 23rd March 2018 – Tivoli Food Hall, Kodbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen Back again, this time for two nights, I made it to the lovely Hotel Danmark by around 20:30, spent five minutes unpacking and then headed to the lobby to meet up with Andy, my colleague. We’d agreed that we’d go for dinner together,…
Travel/Food 2018 – Gorilla, Copenhagen
Tuesday, 27th/Wednesday 28th February 2018 – Gorilla, Copenhagen And so for the second time this year I found myself in Copenhagen on business. This trip was quite a lot tougher. Due to a variety of circumstances, some of them down to my own lack of organisation, we’d been out late in London the night before…
Food 2018 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Monday, February 26th 2018 – Locanda Locatelli, London February got slightly out of control when the lovely people at the Harden’s Guide announced their latest dinner. This would be at Locanda Locatelli, a restaurant we last visited in 2009 for a friend’s 40th birthday. It was lovely then, and given that Giorgio Locatelli is one…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 2
Saturday, February 17th 2018 – Monaco A late start was called for after a good night’s sleep. We aimed for a 10:00am breakfast, missed by 15 minutes, and finally got our act into gear to go out a little after 11. We’d decided that, despite the fact that we pretty much know Monte Carlo like…
Travel/Food 2018 – Copenhagen Brewpub, Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen
Monday, 29th/Tuesday 30th January 2018 – Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen Brewpub, Copenhagen I’ve been over to Copenhagen three times already this year and it seems odd that I don’t currently have a trip scheduled for this month… anyway, I’ll start with the first trip of the year, back in January. Once again faced with the idea…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 6
Tuesday December 5th – Day 6, Krakow Tuesday was our last day and so after breakfast we tidied up the apartment, dropped off the keys and hauled our suitcases to the offices of the travel company who would be responsible for taking us to the airport in the evening. We were there just before 09:00…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 5
Monday December 4th – Day 5, Krakow Monday was something of a challenge as many, many things in Krakow are closed on Mondays. Note to self for future reference: check carefully what days you plan on being in a city for a Winter break and adjust accordingly if every major sight will be closed. However,…
Travel/Food 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull, Beverley, Raskelf
Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull) This was a much shorter visit than the one in May, as we only stayed one night (at the splendidly-located City Centre Premier Inn right by The Deep) and arrived an hour or so before the start of the performance we were there to see, the “Last…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 15
Saturday October 7th – Day 15 – Ligneuville, Malmedy, Ghent, Zeebrugge We made a reasonably early start from Ligneuville, stopping off in Malmedy to go to the supermarket and to hunt down somewhere where we could buy Ardennes ham. I’ve always liked Malmedy, though it’s fair to say we haven’t ever managed to spend that…
