Monday, 24th June 2019 – The Frog Hoxton, London “Harden’s Invites you to Dinner with Adam Handling at The Frog Hoxton“; that’s what the email said, coming through on the heels of our visit to the most upmarket of the Frog outposts in Covent Garden. We thought it would be interesting to see what the…

Food 2018/2019 – Zinc Bar, Buckingham; The Garage, Buckingham
Friday, 26th October 2018/Saturday, 15th June 2019 – The Garage, Buckingham Friday, 26th October 2018 – The Garage, Buckingham The Garage has been open for a while now, based in – you guessed it – an old garage in the middle of Buckingham. We’d attempted to eat there before, only to be frustrated by technical…
Food 2019 – Mont Bar, Barcelona
Wednesday, 12th June 2019 – Mont Bar, Barcelona While Tuesday night had been very touristy, Wednesday was at the other end of the scale, with some brilliantly inventive takes on pintxos, and some very good wines, in a much more elegant dining room. I’d rounded up a group of stragglers at the hotel and walked…
Food 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London
Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London This one was not of my choosing – it was a work-related dinner – but turned out to be much better than you might expect of a restaurant in an hotel (the Crowne Plaza Blackfriars). With a group of 13 of us booked to dine…
Food 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 17th May 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants A couple more Weston Supper Club events came and went in May and July, with mixed results, the July event being far more successful than this one, which was disappointing in a number of ways. The Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants event was…
Food 2019 – Sunday Lunch at the Muddy Duck, Hethe
Sunday, 5th May 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Having tested the “normal” small plates menu at the Muddy Duck a couple of weekends back, we headed that way again over the recent bank holiday weekend to try out Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration for one of our closest friends. Would they measure up?…
Food 2019 – Pied à Terre at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 26th April 2019 – Pied à Terre, Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Friday night was another of the Weston Hall supper club events, this time with the cooking provided by Pied à Terre, a London restaurant I still haven’t got to (though I did eat at its now-departed sister restaurant, the rather brilliant L’Autre…
Food 2019 – Wine Dinner, Cigalon, London
Tuesday, 26th March 2019 – German Wine Dinner, Cigalon, London I’m rather fond of Cigalon, on London’s Chancery Lane, and in particular I’m partial to both its monthly menu “test sessions”, which are usually on a Monday, and now of their wine dinners having attended a recent one. A reasonable (for London anyway) £50 per…
Food 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett
Saturday, 23rd March 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett This was a bit of an unexpected one. The White Hart had popped up on my social media radar with a friend request, and while I didn’t know exactly who they were (or for that matter precisely where Preston Bissett was, though the postcode suggested…
