Sunday, December 4th 2016 – Berlin By this stage we’d pretty much hit the point of not making plans though we did start the day vaguely aiming at Museum Island because our Berlin Card included it, and they are always listed as among the top sights in the city. We set off via the U2…

Travel 2016 – Berlin, Day 2
Saturday, December 3rd 2016 – Berlin We had a plan – or at least we thought we did! After a brief, brutal but ultimately succesful fight with the coffee machine in the hotel room, we took a leisurely breakfast in the Interconinental Club before stepping out into a crisp, cold but above all clear winter’s…
Travel 2016 – Berlin, Day 1
Friday, December 2nd 2016 – Berlin, Day 1 We set off at a slightly silly hour from our friend’s house in south London to get to City airport for the 08:20 to Berlin Tegel, and although it only takes around 27 minutes at that time of day there began one of the themes of the…
Travel/Food 2016 – Beverley, East Yorkshire
Saturday, 29th October 2016 – Beverley, East Yorkshire, UK We urgently needed to scoot up to Hull to check on my late parents’ house as we’ve just put it on the market, and so we decided to make a bit of a weekend of it and stay two nights in Beverley, which for those who…
Food 2016 – Galvin la Chapelle, London
Saturday, 8th October 2016 – Galvin la Chapelle, Spitalfields, London Another Saturday, another restaurant, another Groupon deal. Post-theatre (No Man’s Land, Wyndhams Theatre) we made our somewhat convoluted way to Spitalfields, an area of London that has changed beyond all recognition in the years since I used to cut along Commerical Road to get to…
Food 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen (Chilean Wine Dinner), Stony Stratford
Wednesday 19th October, 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford Cameron’s have for a long time run a series of wine dinners, based around a country or region and with food chosen to match. And so after a gap where they’d been trying to figure out what region to go for next, we found ourselves attending…
Food 2016 – Morse Bar/Ashmolean Dining Room, Oxford
Saturday, 15th October 2016 – The Morse Bar/The Ashmolean Dining Room, Oxford A trip to Oxford was always on the cards this Autumn after the Ashmolean Museum announced that they were exhibiting four Rembrandt paintings (his earliest known works) so we knew we needed to see those. It helps that the Ashmolean, since it was…
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 – 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…
Food 2016 – The Gilbert Scott, London
Saturday, August 6th, 2016 – The Gilbert Scott, The St. Pancras Hotel, London We like a post-theatre meal and with a visit to the Almeida Theatre in the afternoon, this was the perfect opportunity to try out the Gilbert Scott restaurant, especially as I had an offer for the three course set menu plus a…
