Saturday July 1st, 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham It’s always exciting when you find a new restaurant that looks like it might plug the almighty hole in the “fine-dining” category that is the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire area. For a patch of the country that contains a fair amount of disposable income it’s always seemed odd that…

Food 2017 – Local Food Options, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire
We had a busy few weeks trying out or revisiting a variety of restaurants around and about our home town and some of them are worth making a note of here for one or another reason! I’ll tackle them in alphabetic order I think. Sunday 30th April, 2017 – The Narrow Boat, Weedon Bec We…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 3, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Sunday June 11th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland And so on Sunday, having spent Saturday half-frozen, the temperature went up by around 12 degrees Celsius, and pretty much all of the town seemed to be out and about in shorts, and sunburned noses. We made our way to the circuit where we enjoyed some very fine…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 1, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Friday June 9th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna, Finland We learned quite a lot on our most recent trip to Finland, starting with “just because it’s June, don’t expect it to be warm!” and rounding up to “there is absolutely sod all to do in Hämeenlinna on a Sunday night after 9pm”! It was probably the latter…
2017 Food – Rascill’s, Raskelf
Sunday 27th May, 2017 – Rascill’s, Raskelf I need to say this. Rascill’s is one of those restaurants I absolutely love. I just wish I didn’t live so far away (162 miles) or I’d be there at least once a month! Our trip to Hull gave us the perfect excuse to detour slightly on our…
Food 2017 – 1884 Dock Street Kitchen, Hull
Saturday 26th May – 1884 Dock Street Kitchen, Hull Part of our trip to Hull saw us needing somewhere local to eat out, and no matter what we’d been told, the Michelin Guide suggested there was one place worth going to, and that was 1884 Dock Street Kitchen. The fact that both John Robinson at…
Travel 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen
Monday, 22nd/Thursday, 25th May 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen May in Copenhagen made a welcome change as otherwise I only seemed to be getting there when it was cold and dark, and while the place has its charms even in those conditions, it’s far pleasanter in the summer months. The difference was noticeable…
Food 2017 – Whites, Beverley
Friday 25th May White’s, Beverley So… we went to Kingston-upon-Hull (or ‘Ull if you will) for some of the 2017 City of Culture events about which more elsewhere, and obviously while we were there we needed to eat. Now back in the day you’d be lucky to find a decent Chinese or Indian, never mind…
Food 2017 – Roux at Parliament Square, Riesling Wine Dinner
Wednesday 17th May, 2017 – Riesling Wine Dinner, Roux at Parliament Square It’s marginally easier to get a table at Roux at Parliament Square than it is at parent-restaurant Le Gavroche (which is to say we’ve been to Parliament Square twice now and I’ve only ever managed to get a table at Le Gavroche once,…
Travel 2017 – A Suggested London Itinerary
Three Days in London Let’s assume you have three days to spare in London. Here’s what I’d suggest: Day 1 You could start at Borough Market and maybe have a late breakfast/early lunch there instead of at your hotel. In fact if you set your mind to it you can eat your way into a…
