Saturday, 15th February 2020 – Trishna, London As part of a trip to London to go to the theatre, we do like to go and have a good dinner somewhere, and with Trishna, over in Marylebone, we certainly seem to have struck gold. We made our way over from a performance of Uncle Vanya in…

Food 2020 – Pompette, Oxford
Saturday 8th February, 2020 – Pompette, Oxford Oxford is a strange city in food terms (not as dire as Cambridge, though it remains a mystery given the amount of money washing around as to why precisely there aren’t many good and/or high end restaurants in either city). However, of late Oxford has improved considerably, with…
Food 2020 – Akasaka, Milton Keynes
Monday, 3rd February 2020 – Akasaka, Milton Keynes We had a date to go to the theatre in Milton Keynes, as we had tickets to see Sandi Toksvig on her “National Trevor” tour. As Lynne was working in the office that day (which is in MK), we decided I would pick her up from the…
Food 2020 – Recipes (Ox Cheek and Vegetables)
Sunday, 2nd February 2020 – Recipes (Ox Cheek and Vegetables) On my way home from one of the three WSET Level 2 in Wine training days I stopped off at the small market that has sprung up off Coal Drops Yard, in front of the Waitrose supermarket looking for supplies of raw or cultured butter…
Food 2020 – Recipes (My Dad’s Goulash)
Food 2020 – Recipes (My Dad’s Goulash) Before anyone shouts at me, my Dad was from the former East Germany (admittedly before it was East Germany), way over towards what is now the Czech republic, and while I suspect this recipe may make a lot of Hungarians very cross, this was his version of goulash,…
Food 2020 – Lino, London
Wednesday 22nd January, 2020 – Lino, London It is quite possible that Lino, which only opened towards the end of 2018, may have crashed and burned in the Covid-19 lockdown of the City of London. If so, that would be a great pity. I went there with colleagues, one of whom was picking up the…
Food 2020 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton
Sunday 12th January, 2020 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton As it was my birthday, and I didn’t want to do any cooking (much as I enjoy it normally) we decided it would be good to head out for lunch somewhere not too far away. That meant I was looking at no more than 20…

Food 2019 – Vlet, Hamburg
Monday, 2nd December 2019 – Vlet, Hamburg Feeling altogether more human after Saturday’s illness, I have to say I was really looking forward to our final meal in Hamburg, lunch in a restaurant in the Speicherstadt, Vlet in der Speicherstadt. On their own website they wax lyrical about their location: “Among the red brick buildings,…
Food 2019 – Hamburg, Day 4, Heritage
Sunday, 1st December 2019 – Heritage, Hamburg After a Saturday to forget, by the end of Sunday afternoon I was starving, and dinner looked like a very welcome detail in our day. For Sunday evening I’d got us close to our hotel again, with a table reserved at Heritage, overlooking the Aussenalster. I hadn’t realised…
